10/10 Excellent
"Wow what a hotel! Having a private pool on the balcony it's not something that I've experienced before, but I could easily get used to it! The staff at the hotel were simply amazing too and I really appreciated the effort they went to in decorating my room with the birthday package for my girlfriend's birthday; she was blown away by it :-) The food in the restaurant was great, although it (and the bar) is not open every night which was a shame. The location is also fantastic; it's a little further walk from the boat than other hotels but I liked how it was away from the crowds, but still with bars and restaurants mere seconds walk away & the centre of Morro de Sao Paulo still only 10mins walk. I highly recommend walking round to the 4th beach too - it's simply stunning!"

10/10 Excellent
"My stay at Village Paraíso in Morro de São Paulo was absolutely wonderful. The hotel is beautifully located, surrounded by nature and just a short walk from the beach, creating the perfect balance between relaxation and convenience. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful tropical gardens around the property. The breakfast was excellent, with plenty of fresh local options and great service every morning. What really made the experience special was the staff. Everyone was welcoming, friendly, and always willing to help with recommendations and anything we needed during our stay. Their hospitality made us feel truly at home. If you are looking for a relaxing place to stay in Morro de São Paulo with great service, comfort, and a beautiful setting, I would definitely recommend Village Paraíso. I would happily stay there again."
