Every March for the past 4 years, I've attended a week-long conference here. The resort is isolated from the town of Praia do Forte, but only a short taxi ride away. It's about an hour to an hour and a half (depending on traffic) from the Salvador airport. People who come here generally plan on parking themselves at the resort... More

Exclusive hotel with good themed restaurants, sorry that I could not try it all. Maybe next time. The service is not as good on weekends, when the hotel is fuller. The location is a bit isolated, but there are good travel agents within the hotel, with several tour options. There are also options for leisure and entertainment for the whole... More

It's a great hotel, with a very friendly enviroment and perfect for a family holiday. Thu only down factor is the beach itself, it's not a quiet beach has big waves and a strong ocean (November), but the resort has several pools.
