Hotel Solar das Águas Cantantes — Hotel in Região Imediata de Caraguatatuba-Ubatuba-São Sebastião

Having stayed 3 times in Solar das Aguas Cantantes in the past years, this hotel seems to be deteriorating quickly. OK, it is low season now and, even during a holiday, the hotel was relatively empty. However, for this exact reason, the staff should be more careful and attentive with the service being provided to their few guests. Urgent renovation is needed.||Built in colonial style and with a nice pool next to the central courtyard and restaurant, Solar das Aguas Cantantes was once charming, but now lacks some shine. The rooms are spacious, although with disproportionally small bathrooms and virtually no amenities. When we arrived to the hotel, there were lots of death insects near the window. The breakfast was only average, offering the standard ham, cheese and cereals, besides an assortment of mostly industrialized breads, cookies and cakes. Nothing really special.||It is surprising that their restaurant still hold an star from the most prestigious guide in Brazil (Guia 4 Rodas), considering their limited menu, with very basic side dishes and poor/ outdated wine list.||It's located on a quiet corner of Lazaro beach (50m away from the beach itself), with easy access to Ubatuba's main marina (Saco da Ribeira) and to the south beaches. During holidays and high season, it can be a real hassle to get to the center due to the...

I didn't mean to book here - I thought it was close to downtown Ubatuba. As it turns out, it's 6km away. I'm very happy it happened, though.||It's not posh - bring your own toiletries (I think they had soap). I never figured out the wifi because, well, my Portuguese is not good and nobody spoke English.||It was lovely, though. The room was comfortable, the decor like a tropical cabana. The grounds were a tropical oasis. The restaurant was good (they had an English menu) and beautiful beaches are only a short walk away. June is the beginning of winter and I had the sand to myself. In the off season there is not a lot to do. The beach restaurants were barricaded, so bring your own provisions. ||Would I go back? Absolutely but with a friend. Or to write my memoirs. The town is not lovely, but the hotel and the beaches are. It was a wonderful stay - the people were very friendly, the hotel was great. With a little planning (wine and snacks - oh, and shampoo) it would be a fantastic...

Our family (three small children and nine adults) spent five amazing days at this beautiful property. Nice and authentic rooms full of rustic charm, most of them with a beautiful balcony facing the pristine courtyard. The games room and pool are nice additions to help kids have a good time during rainy hours. The Brazilian breakfast was always faultless, from its freshly squeezed orange juice to its selection of local fruits and cheeses. The restaurant serves perfect seafood (please try the unforgettable Moqueca!) and excellent caipirinhas. The entire team works non-stop to make your stay an unforgettable one- Eliana at the reception made us feel extremely welcomed at all times. The beach is only a short walk away but if you have the time explore other areas in Ubatuba, this is a unique place surrounded by nature and you'll truly enjoy getting to...
