I was given a wrong room, but they have tried to resolve it quickly.

Great location, right at the beach! The are 2 swimming pools available - inside and outside. The restaurant also has nice food. The staff is friendly and helpful

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.

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.

Few restaurants open within walking distance after 6pm.

Very relaxing place across from the beach. Bus stops right in front. Location. Beach. 10/10. Stay here.

The menu on the restaurant was super limited. There’re no places to have dinner right there, surely you need to move, we visited around 31sr December and the time you take (driving) to somewhere was around 30 - 60’, so be patient on these dates.

In front of mole beach. Is a hard wave beach so you need to take care, but is really beautiful. The hotel is comfortable and the stuff is cordial

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.

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

The bathroom needs a renovation

The location is amazing. Quiet in the evening, good shower and good bed.

The bathroom need some care/renovation.

The location, the spacious room, the pool and the vibes of the surroundings

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Great views of the lagoon, though there was no sea view (as it was advertised).

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.

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.

- a lot of spiders - only 1 key for the house !!! - strict check-out times

- great view - awesome chalet - nice spacious rooms - very cozy - next to the beach - separate bathrooms (outside for beach stuff and washing down the sand) and inside for the real showers

Stayed in February 2024

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.

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.

Shame there was only one place around for dinner, and it was taking forever to get served.

Lovely bungalow in amazing location

Stayed in January 2024

the restaurant of the place was under construction so to get a meal we needed to use the car every time. the pool have area can be much better with better maintenance.

the location is amazing near the beach and with private access to the lagoon. the cabin room is nice and spacious. a bit old and very basic . the staff are nice

Stayed in January 2024

There is no shampoo in the showers. Also there could be a vending machine with water and necessities in case the hotel restaurant is closed.

Location is great and personell is adorable. The mix of beach, pool and lake is outstanding.

- No Shampoo - Configution at kitchen and shower a bit too rustical

+ very clean + extraordinary location (lake and sea and bars and etc) + very romantic + personnel very supportive and kind

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.

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.
