Children & extra beds
Parents or a legal guardian travelling with children under 18 years of age must present the child's birth certificate and an identity card with photo (passport, for example) at the check-in. For international travels to Brazil, if just one of the parents is travelling with the child, she/he must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorising the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. In case the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorisation, a judicial authorisation is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before travelling for more information.

Local super aconchegante com destaque principal dos proprietários! Super atenciosos e gentis.
Chegamos muito antes do horário do check-in e fomos recebidos com muita atenção e flexibilidade para entrar mais cedo e usar a piscina. Recebi um upgrade do quarto, pois o que havia reservado havia um problema no ar-condicionado.
Localização é próximo da praia, dá para ir andando… umas 6 quadras.
Local muito agradável com café da manhã bem completo.
