Went there as family of four for three day weekend||||what is not good (and really made this stay truly horrible:||- we had the bungalow, most expensive home... it was said it was the only option to facilitate family of four... but it is not true... it fits only two... they fit two extra beds in one bed bedroom... right next to each other||- bungalow supposedly has hot tub... but water is COLD... they need to turn it on... once turned on... it is still cold... guy they sent to "fix it' said he had never seen it hot... true jetinho... it truly through us of...you sell it as luxury, collect the money and than you have 5 dozen excuses why it is not working but will... some time... manhana... truly a turn of... was not helped that electric shower was cheap and did not get much warm water... nights in Minas can be cold||- bungalow is haunted by dozens little monkeys at night, who crawl through open roof spaces... making lots of crazy noise... like there are dozens of rats in your bedroom....it goes on all night...this makes sleeping impossible... we left one day earlier to make sure we could sleep somewhere else... uninterrupted...||- can not find the place... evidently... they do not want to pay "whatever" they have to in taxes... as this must be the worst possible place to find... no signs whatsoever.. website route is completely of... waze could not find it..we had to ask ten times before a police officer could finally direct us||||what is good:||- lovely staff.. genuine... good activities... bunch of sweethearts||- good food..||- reasonable $ for drinks and awesome caipirinha||||Think twice before going there... unless you do not care for a hot shower, no care to be stacked in a room and can sleep...
