"The stay at Forest Lake was absolutely perfect. Do yourself the biggest service and DO NOT MISS the dinner by Chef Joao. He created such a wonderful menu that holds up to any Michelin restaurant (hint: this place deserves at least two!)."

"Everything was nice except the rooms was not what we booked. We booked for 3 families and we all got different size rooms which caused conflict. Also the fact that everywhere we went smelled cat pee cause their was so many cats."

"A very comfortable and practical place to stay. The full kitchen was a great asset for us. The cliffs right outside the door are amazingly beautiful. It’s wonderful to be able to stroll along the cliffs at sunset."

"This was such an amazing place to stay. We were a family of four that stayed for one week at Casa do Cantador and we loved it. Convenient location, clean and decent sized suites, great staff that were always super helpful, excellent outdoor space, and the breakfast was a wonderful addition. We would definitely love to return again!"

"Perfect place to stay if you want to be away from the tourist area. The room is modern, clean, and comfortable. Plenty of free parking for your rental car in a safe area.
All of our activities were about a 20 min drive in all directions."

"Logement fonctionnel mais sans aucun charme et qui présente des nuisances sonores du fait de son emplacement voisin bruyant et au bord d'une route très passante avec de nombreuses motos.
Aucune possibilité de déplacement sans véhicule"

"The hotel was beautiful, clean, modern and the staff were excellent. The staff were very helpful in planning day trips and making recommendations and even bookings for us. Th restaurant had delicious food with a different catch of the day every day and could easily accommodate my celiac diet. The views were stunning and it was wonderful to hear the ocean while eating at the restaurant. I would highly recommend this hotel."
"This was a great little hotel and a nice location. Walking distance to the center area and right on the water. Helpful staff and the restaurant was also wonderful. I’d recommend it!!!"
"The breakfast was great with lots of options. The location is right on the water within walking distance to many restaurants. Taxi is very easy to get - ask concierge. Don’t book an airport shuttle, just take a taxi (they have vans that fit up to 8 people). There are Bolt scooters right out front, we jumped on them for a quick ride to the beach. Natural pool right out front or indoor pool in hotel, small but useful. Gym is small but has the basics to get in a full work out. Staff were very friendly and helpful!"
"This property was exceptional. The grounds were stunning - there’s a reason this place is a tourist destination. We felt incredibly lucky to actually be staying here. The wonder and atmosphere of the thermal pools cannot be overstated. At night, in the warmth of the pool, if the mist isn’t too heavy, the star-gazing is fantastic.
I traveled there with my 12-year-old daughter and the staff gave us an adult- and a petite, child-sized robe. She was thrilled! After a day of canyoning, coming back to the thermal pools in the evening was a perfect way to relax.
The restaurant was very good - beautiful presentation. It was expensive and chic. I gave 4 stars for the staff category only because of the restaurant. I was there as a mother alone with her child to make memories and enjoy a beautiful trip. Four of the six times we ate in the restaurant, we were seated facing a wall, behind a column, or otherwise hidden from the main dining area. We felt unwelcome and unable to enjoy the full experience of our very expensive stay. I was at the point where I was planning to ask to speak with the restaurant manager when the next time we visited, we were seated centrally. This was for breakfast by a mature woman whose smile reached her eyes. The older man who seated us for our first dinner there just barely hid that he rolled his eyes when he saw that we were his “party of two.”
Aside from the unpleasant dining experience, we loved Terra Nostra. Tina, the Night Manager was an angel, so kind!"
