I was there during winter time, but at the end of winter (end of August), so the weather was getting better, but is was not crowded. The rooms are clean and big enough, however at that time there was a still not renovated house next to the hotel, where a nice cock was always cock-crowing in the morning. Note that this was only hearable from the most right part of the hotel. Most of the americans said about this hotel's gym that it is really small, and not fully equipped. But trust me, it's quite enough, and if americans would pay attentions to workout, they won't be so big :), besides, I don't want to hurt anybody, but this hotel is really good and well equipped. And what is the most important thing is that there is a guy at the breakfast, called Louis (I want to emphasize this since I promised him:)), is the best english speaking person in Florianopolis (I tried the taxi company at the airport, they understood what I told them, but the driver did not speak english...then at the hotel reception, people behind the desk speak english, but this Louis has also a great american accent :). Beside his speaking skills, he is really nice, and always says hi and asks about whether you liked the food. Some more info: this hotel is mostly accessible, they got ramps and things like that, but the rooms, or the room we've got as accessible was not that accessible, but we could manage it (it means that having a shower required some skills and a chair to be put inside, but other things like toilet and size of the room fits for ''wheelchair-traffic'' - you can even go outside to the balcony via wheelchair. For more details, see the pics.

“conference”

Room was clean but not cosy, light was very impersonal and cold, like in prison. Breakfast was good, with fresh fruit. Staff was excellent, however they can't speak english.

“Amazing view, comfortable staying, but uncooperative staff”

I stayed for a week during a conference at the end of August 2016. The room was clean and comfortable it also had ocean view.

I stayed for a week during a conference at the end of August 2016. The room was clean and comfortable it also had ocean view. There's a mini-kitchen (nothing fancy) and there's also a small supermarket nearby. Breakfast buffet is excellent. The conference organisers helped me with a taxi when I arrived to Florianopolis in order to pay a fair price (~ 90 BRL / taxi). The evening before leaving (we were a group of 4 people), we asked if they could call as a taxi. The guy that was at the reception desk said he well call a taxi in the morning. In the morning at the reception it was a woman. She refused to call a taxi and said we can go with (I don't remember the company name, but is a renting car service next door) by paying 70 BRL / person, in total 280 BRL, which is at least 3 times more. After explaining that a regular taxi would be much cheaper, she said no taxi will take 4 people (which is not true!) and she "negotiated" to pay 180 BRL, as we would have two taxies. This is not OK. It's a 4 star hotel, not a market.
