I felt like I wasn’t in Brazil, because of the extremely high prices all around the island, but then I was constantly reminded I was in Brazil because of the lack of infrastructure and investment. It is a nice place to go once you earn in USD or EUR, not in BRL. If you live in Brazil I would say you go to the Caribbean, you would save some money.…

Lovely island with breathtaking scenery and many beautiful beaches. Lots of good restaurants and friendly people. Unfortunately we had some rainy weather and the ocean was not that clear. We did see some marine life but no turtles. Bring bug spray!

The island is absolutely gorgeous, it has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is easy to go around the island and you will also find nice shops and good restaurants.

I recommend 10 to 14 days to enjoy it properly.…

The people are friendly and the scenery and beaches spectacular. Definitely worth a visit. However be prepared for high prices, poor transportation, bad roads, intermittent WiFi , insects and strong sun. Mosquito repellent and sun block is a must, as you would expect. This is not a complaint, just a statement of fact. There are good restaurants and bars. Most of the restaurants are basic but have good food. Given the money generated from tourists I would expect much better services and infrastructure. There is no comparison with those provided in the Galapagos, for example. We had a great time and would not have missed the experience but three days is enough and we will never go back.…
