I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which offered a peaceful escape in an isolated area of Boa Vista. The rooms were not only clean but beautifully presented, providing a comfortable atmosphere. The staff were extremely helpful, assisting with everything from planning to on-site needs. However, the dining options could use some improvement, especially during breakfast. Overall, the value for money was great, but the dining experience fell a bit short of expectations.
