Pontal Dos Carneiros Beach Bungalows

A piece of paradise so close to home.

We stayed three nights in Pontal dos Carneiros and it was amazing: beautiful place, comfortable and fancy bungalows, the staff is very kind and welcoming. It is so peaceful. We had a delicious breakfast and a wonderful time in family . Thank you so much to all the staff. I highly recommend this place !! We hope to come back soon!!!

We came back here after 2 years because we loved this resort so much. They’ve made some changes, but, while it’s still an incredible place to stay, it didn’t live up to our first stay here. We stayed in an upstairs bungalow, and while it was the same size as the bungalow we stayed at last time (a ground floor unit), this unit was a bit run down (I believe they are upgrading units, but the hotel staff put us in an un-renovated one). The king-sized bed was very comfortable and the accoutrements were all very attractive, but the sofa in the room had the most unfortunate and offensive stain on it—it looked like somebody did a “Biden” on the couch, or Mr. Hankey had visited the previous tenants (“Howdy-ho!”). The Jacuzzi’s controls did not work (it was a pretty old unit, but large and still usable). Additionally, the chambermaids’ station was located at the bottom of our stairs, so they spent the majority of the morning below our room. I wouldn’t have minded this so much if there were no other rooms vacant, but there were. We asked the receptionist if we could switch rooms, but we were told that we would have to pay an additional fee, but the receptionist said she did not know how much it would cost and that we had to come back later for her to tell us how much it would be. When we came back, she said it would cost an additional R$390 for the night, so I declined. Why didn’t she know how much the room would cost? Not to sound whiny, but if a hotel has a vacancy, I don’t see why they wouldn’t give an open room to a guest who was unhappy with their present room… The employees were almost all very friendly and helpful (our chambermaid was very pleasant, the waiter Renato was great too; the receptionist who helped us at check-out was the height of professionalism and charm (sorry I don’t remember her name)). The bartenders at the pool bar and the waiters in the hotel’s restaurant were also perfect. Upon arrival, the hotel provided us with a welcome coconut water and a complimentary bottle of spumante (the last time they also included a fruit plate, but not this time; however they did give us a nice jar of cocada made at the hotel when we checked out). Breakfast, which is included, was very good! They have a variety of cakes and breads, fruits and condiments; shots of specialty drinks, juices, coconut water and teas available. Hot dishes include omelets, tapiocas with your choice of filling, and even eggs Benedict.

Small, personal, beautiful resort on a quiet and beautiful beach. Our bungalow was 3-bedrooms with a private pool - beautiful. The beds were comfortable, the towels thick and fluffy, and you could watch Netflix on the TV. Also the WiFi was very good. Breakfast was a small buffet plus made-to-order eggs and smoothie bowls - all of it great. We had dinner and lunch at the resort as well - many many options and it was all fantastic. Not one meal was disappointing. Its a resort with a nice attention to detail. The number one best thing about this resort is the staff - truly amazing people. All of them were so very friendly, attentive, and helpful. My husband tore his achilles heel while were were there and the manager of the hotel and owner were simply amazing - they arranged transportation to the hospital, delivery of medications, delivery of crutches, and staff were constantly checking how we were doing and if they could help. We are so very very grateful to the wonderful staff at this resort.

The best in Carneiros

Sem dúvidas, a pergunta que mais recebi durante essa viagem foi: "Que hotel é esse que vocês estão?" E sim, vocês merecerem um post exclusivo! Porque o que vivemos aí foi mais do que hospedagem - foi carinho em forma de experiência. Desde o sorriso na recepção, ao cuidado com cada detalhe... vocês tornaram nossos dias ainda mais especiais. Café da manhã incrível que vocês prepararam de aniversário nem foi um pedido nosso — foi gentileza pura. A comida? Maravilhosa. O atendimento? Irretocável. A experiência? Inesquecível. Obrigada por tudo! Vim embora, mas as lembranças trouxe comigo
