Centro is where you'll find Sao Jose Market. It's free, which means you'll have more cash in your wallet to explore! Other worthwhile attractions close to the community marketplace include Boa Viagem Beach, Mirabilandia Amusement Park and Dona Lindu Park.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (306 reviews)

We cannot wait to come back! From the wonderful, pleasant staff to the delicious food and super clean resort, my family had the best time here. It’s so close to the beach if you want to see the ocean, but also enough pools if you want to stay on the resort. The area is very safe during the day and I loved how close it was to the down town area.

8.4/10 Very Good! (568 reviews)

The cleanliness is good, but the people are very dirty and rude. They leave glasses everywhere, eat by the pool, and no one says anything. There were cigarette butts, fruit, and used condiment packets on the sand and tables near the pool. They need to better control the people or clean more often.
