The best food of my life hands-down (and I live in NYC and am somewhat of a foodie). The resort is breathtakingly beautiful, the food was unreal and the staff was simply amazing. In particular, we really loved the guest coordinator named Nina; she was incredibly personably and went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience... More

This is a great hotel set in a stunning location with wonderful sea views from every part of the resort. The staff were all very professional and friendly and seemed to outnumber the guests by at least four to one. Our villa was excellent and most comfortable with a large bed along with exclusive designer linen. The evening meal was... More

My wife and I stayed here for four nights to finish our honeymoon and it ended up being the highlight of our trip! The entire experience of staying at Ponta dos Ganchos was unbelievable beginning from the complimentary airport transfers from Florianopolis airport to the resort (which is a 40 minute drive outside of the city) to the exceptional service...

This is without doubt an amazing hotel/resort. We stayed for 8 nights in a Villa and so were able to guage quite a few aspects over that time. Firstly the accomodation was great - lots of space, great layout. Beautiful views through so many windows and glass doors - all facing the bay. And total seclusion inside and outside, with... More

We arrived in the pouring rain which was unexpected and unwanted, and it did rain everyday for a few hours which was the only downside of this resort. Our bedroom/villa was beautifully designed with incredible views. The food was some of the best we had in all of Brazil, though we thought the 'tasting breakfast' was irritating. We went with...

My husband and I spent our last three days of our honeymoon at Ponta dos Ganchos, and it was an absolute treat. We stayed in a villa, which was positively stunning. The villa has a massive living room and bedroom, a jacuzzi and sauna, a huge shower with two rain shower heads, his and her bathrooms and sinks, and his... More

I arrived at this resort on the day of my 40th Birthday. We got here after being in Miami where I ran my first ING Miami Full Marathon. This resort is surrounded by natural beauty, flaura and fauna, hills and beaches. The people are kind and very eager to service you. Not everyone speaks English but everyone sure tries and... More

I travel often and stay at some pretty cool hotels. After my recent stay at Ponta, I felt compelled to write my first Trip-advisor review. I was locked into a three day min stay and spent about US$1,600 a night. I typically spend about US$1,200/night when I travel and have come to understand this is what it takes to stay... More

PROS: The property is AMAZING!!! Only 25 bungalows atop a mountain only seconds away from a beautiful, discreet, private beach. (Which you can be carted to if you prefer not to walk the 2 minutes it takes you to get there.) It is the most romantic place we have visited. As far as their food is concerned, we couldn't have...
