- "Vila da Santa is one of the nicest places we’ve stayed at EVER! It’s just perfect and a true gem in every sense of the word. It more than exceeded our expectations. It’s small, very romantic and private, quiet but near enough to walk to the centre of Buzios where it’s all happening. VdS looks like a very tiny village set around a square with easy access to the beach in a little bay. At night it’s beautifully lit and looks just magical. All the people who work there are so lovely, friendly, helpful, thoughtful and very welcoming. They felt like family. A huge thank you to Mohammed and Michelle and everyone else whose names we didn’t know. Nothing was too much trouble.The breakfasts are amazing with everything you need for a healthy start and also include cook to order. We ate in the restaurant on the first night as we arrived late and tired and also on the last night as the food is absolutely delicious. The Caipirinhas are very good too! From the moment we arrived it made us wish we’d booked a couple of extra nights in addition to our 5 nights. Our room was spotless, spacious and the bed very comfortable; we slept so well. The decor of the rooms has a relaxed, beach vibe and had all the facilities you expect in a hotel room. I would have no hesitation in recommending a stay at VdS. In fact if you don’t book it you’d be missing out on a delightful experience. This review comes from the heart based on our personal experience."

- "We loved everything! We didn’t want to leave and wish we could have stayed longer. We didn’t actually like the beaches in Arraial do Cabo and Buzios. The towns are overrated and the beaches were crowded and dirty. But going back to our hotel beach - Caravelas - always made us happy. We then decided not to leave the hotel anymore. It had everything we needed, a wonderful beach, peaceful, clean, our paradise! We loved our room, it was modern, and yet rustic and cozy, the bed was comfy, and I loved my towel warmer. The staff was so friendly and had great food and wine recommendations… The hotel also had a great swimming pool area, sauna, massages, not to say yoga and meditation; which I wish I had enjoyed more - and the highlight for us: the restaurant! We are foodies and had every meal at the hotel restaurant so we could try every item on the menu! Spectacular, one of the best hotel restaurants I’ve ever been to. For future guests: try the hot rolls with watermelon, the arancini and the kafta. And the lemongrass tea! Divine."
