Japu Vacations from $1,454

The host Adrian was excellent and made my check in very easy, especially because I speak very little Portuguese. The door locks are old and stick so thought I was was locked in the bathroom a few times.

The hotel has a lot of built in infrastructure and activities (pool, kayak/pedal boats, water exercise class, beach volley ball, yoga on the beach, evening events and celebrations, dance presentations, and activities to keep kids busy). The other facilities like the pool, game room, and elsewhere need some work and actual rooms themselves are pretty plan although they were working on the pool when we were there. The waiting staff and others are friendly and helpful. Overall it was a fun experience with a lot of great family memories and activities. The need for some remodeling is overshadowed by the friendless of the staff and the variety of fun activities they have for you. I would recommend getting the package with breakfast and dinner included as your only options at the restaurant (extremely expensive) and the bar (pretty expensive).

Fabulous place to stay. Everything is done with style and purposefully. Beatiful location, architecture and decoration. We loved it and we will go back

Staff was great. The view was nice. Location is very convenient
