Santa Catharina accommodation from AU$205

Grounds, rooms, Bars and restaurants are stunning, everything is truly a delight. The pool is nice and there is plenty of space for people to spread out and lounge, the kid pool area is vast and really close to the lounge chairs and main pool. Cleaning staff came in everyday and they are quick and friendly. Restaurants are really nice, only downside is that the reservation system that they have is not quite user friendly. there is a QR code that did not work and you have to book a day in advance. We where celebrating my father in laws 70th birthday and tried to make reservations to the BBQ, Italian and Mexican restaurants and where not successful, we explained our situation and later on they accommodated us to the Italian and mexican. The Italian restaurant was ok, the food decent, but the service was really lack luster. they forgot my father in laws dish and everything came in at random, and other tables that came in later ate before us, when we asked the server she mentioned that the kitchen was really busy. The buffet is really the way to go, they change cuisines and themes every night and the food selection was vast. Bar staff was good, some of them where not in a hurry and where a bit cold, but they pushed out drinks consistently, but for the most part everyone was welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend the RIF side of this hotel.

Food was amazing and it had a wide variety of drinks and desserts. Rooms were good with comfortable beds however the ceiling needed to by cobwebed. Housekeeping was amazing. Rooms were cleaned daily and everything restocked.Didn't like that the resort didn't offer shuttle service to the airport or nearby shopping areas. Overall worth it and i will definitely be returning.

We liked the proximity to the beach, access to good snorkeling and scuba diving. The food was great in all restaurants. We liked the proximity for easy access to down town (10-15 minutes by car) and access to the beaches towards West Punt. The staff are all very pleasant and service was great. Breakfast buffet was excellent and dining in the evening nice as well. Noise from some special events was a bit bothersome in the evenings. Live music was appreciated and enjoyable. Parking easy as well with security for safety. The resort is modern, well kept and in a quiet area.
