The hotel is super nice, right in front of Mole beach (one of the best in Florianópolis). The swimming pool was great, big and with a lot of nature around, perfect for after the beach. The rooms are nicely decorated and very spacious. The hotel is close to other beaches and to Lagoa. Although there are no stores or restaurants open at night, there are several places nearby.

The room lacked ventilation, and therefore it was very humid and it smelled musty. Even the clothes in my bag were getting humid. The bathroom had none ventilation (not even an exaustor or something similar). For me this was the worst part of the experience as it was not pleasant to stay in the room. The attention at the restaurant was also not very pleasant, and the dinner options were extremely limited.

This is a great value, with direct access to both the lake and the famous Praia Mole Surfing Beach (and excellent Bar Do Deca gay beach club). The shared facilities were spotless and largely deserted, though I think this is a very summer season destination. It's a really cool concept and vibe. One day I would love to organize a large group trip here, a la Aspen Gay Ski Week (Floripa Gay Surf Week) where the range of suites, individual rooms, and shared stall showers and toilets would be an asset. This could be a killer spring break location for the adventurous, and the price was fantastic.

So the communal surfer vibe is definitely unique by American/European standards. Apparently its fairly common in Brazil though. It's not quite a hostel, but it's also not a "typical" hotel, so be sure to read your room description carefully. I really liked it, but the shared shower/toilet and lack of "hotel amenities" might be an unwelcome surprise for those unprepared. The facilities are super clean and private with full length doors for the spacious, individual stalls - similar to a high-end fitness center locker room. Also, there were no towels in my room. Getting the local Uber drivers to take you to the property is a bit of a pain, especially at night.

Very peaceful, nice bird life, next to lake and away from the exuberant partying youth at the Hotel Selina. The reception staff were the most friendly and helpful that I met in Brazil.

It was very badly signposted - the Uber driver dropped me off the Hotel Selina as he thought that was the cabanas. There is no arrow on the sign on the road indicating the need to go down the stony road. It was difficult to get into the property through the gate as was not given the gate code ahead of arrival - I ended up having to walk down the stone rock road with all my luggage from the hotel Selina. Another night, an uber driver couldn’t get out of the gate and I had to go back up to gate to let him out and then walk 10 mins down the stony road again in the dark. The property needs a golf cart to assist those with luggage who don’t come by car.

Location: very close to the mole beach. The area is very quite and beautiful. The view is fabulous. There is, nevertheless, no grocery or supermarket nearby. Also, most restaurants, except one, close before 20h. Bus station is also very close. Breakfast room is very relaxing and the staff is very friendly. The pool area is also very nice and peaceful.

The room had a nice view but the facilities are a little outdated, especially the bathroom. In addition, the accommodation could provide some amenities such as a kettle/coffee maker, and hygiene products such as shampoo, body lotion, etc. The number of towels provided is also a little low for beach accommodation.

Although some parts of the compound are a little bit aged, the overall impression is that it is well maintained and you can see people working and upkeeping the facilities at all time. Staff is more then friendly and helpful and can be reached easily through WhatsApp what also helps to overcome a language barrier in case you don’t speak Portuguese . As I stayed in low season, the compound was very empty with I lay a few guests, which I found very relaxing. It is only a few steps away from the beach and the lakeview is very nice too! Ir is good to know that the hotel shares a road with Selina hotel (keep right) as Selina hotel is more visible from the road.

Everything was fine. Something to keep in mind is that the cabanas are located on a hillside; which might make it difficult for elderly people or people with a physical handicap. If you bring your car, you can drive it also inside the compound.

The property is very beautiful and it is a walking distance from the Mole Beach and Galheta Beach. The staff was super friendly, especially Theo - he was always available and whenever we had an issue, he would fix it in a very timely manner.

Although the location is close to the beaches we wanted to visit, there are only a few restaurants in the area.

The location was good. The grounds were pretty with lots of beautiful vegetation. I loved the artwork on the wall in my room.

Breakfast was not included, which was disappointing. They required me to wear a wristband, yet it didn’t entitle me to anything and was uncomfortable. The window in my room faced another window, which made for questionable privacy.

I did not have the opportunity to stay at the hotel on the night I reserved. This is the only hotel that I should stay in the whole trip. I did not see the rooms. However I had a breakfast in the morning. The hotel outside, garden pool leisure area was fantastic. Amazing
