Barra Grande Beach Tours and Activities

The hotel has a lot of built in infrastructure and activities (pool, kayak/pedal boats, water exercise class, beach volley ball, yoga on the beach, evening events and celebrations, dance presentations, and activities to keep kids busy). The other facilities like the pool, game room, and elsewhere need some work and actual rooms themselves are pretty plan although they were working on the pool when we were there. The waiting staff and others are friendly and helpful. Overall it was a fun experience with a lot of great family memories and activities. The need for some remodeling is overshadowed by the friendless of the staff and the variety of fun activities they have for you. I would recommend getting the package with breakfast and dinner included as your only options at the restaurant (extremely expensive) and the bar (pretty expensive).

This is probably one of the best hotels in Itacare. My suite was spacious and comfortable - the bed and pillows especially. Breakfast options are limited but still good for vegetarians (and abundant for meat/fish eaters). The beach access is very convenient, albeit the allocated beach space isn't that big. In high season it could feel cramped. Overall great, EXCEPT that I didnt have hot water in my room for the first two days of my stay despite reporting this to the reception desk a number of times. Perhaps something fell down in translation but I thought they promised to send someone to fix it each time I spoke to them only for no action/repair to be taken. Eventually the repair man came back to my room directly with me on my last reception visit. The issue was fixed in less than 10 minutes which made it all the more frustrating that it hadnt been fixed sooner
