Pretty location -bring your own water
We were impressed by the location, oasis like, with 5 cabins surrounded by lush vegetation.
Pillows were old and unusable. The ones on the spare beds did prove a little better, but quite frankly for this price range (or any price range come to think of it) this was unacceptable. The mismatched old worn bedding also needs to be replaced. Towels were great - new, white and fluffy. The shower heads were clogged up, making it impossible to shower. I suggest a descaling of the showerheads.
The tours themselves are varied with our favourite being the early morning horse ride around the area. We also loved the pirahna fishing. We stayed 3 nights and did wonder if we had booked one day too many as most of the tours were similar - looking for wild life but in different directions and by different modes of transport. All the tours are done on the farm, and are suitable for all standards. The guide was enthusiastic, he also managed to speak just enough english to get the message across.
Most places we have stayed in do provide water or have a thermos of coffee for when guests come back. The management do say they do not provide drinks, but usually we assume water would be included. This place doesnt and with hindsight we should have bought a couple of large bottle of water as the water here was relatively pricey by Brazilian standards. The food was quite good, usually beef with salad options. Dessert was usually watermelon.
