We may go to São Paulo for a taste of Brazil but when the Paulistanos are in the mood to escape, some head east: to São Sebastião, a coastal enclave some two and a half hours away. It’s not a resort town, per se, nor is it the “humble fishing village” of Brazilian-tourism cliché — it’s a town whose inhabitants, some of them part-timers, privately carry on the business of enjoying the beachfront geography and (nearly) tropical climate. Which makes it ideal for a small and intimate getaway like the Ilha de Toque Toque.
Its situation just outside of town means it’s on the quiet side, which is entirely the point. The ten rooms sit on a hillside fifty meters above the sea, with hammocks on their decks, overlooking a charmingly unfinished beach. Quite a contrast with the high-rise hotels of somewhere like Rio — here the activities are more on the sedate side, with guests lounging by the pool or in the spa, or else making their way down to the beach or exploring the jungle on foot or mountain bike. There’s nothing all that glamorous about it, aside from the glamour inherent in disappearing to the Brazilian seashore for a while — which, for many of us, is more than enough.
Please note: Weekend stays (all year) require a minimum of 2 nights. Stays in December require a minimum of 2 nights. Stays in January require a minimum of 3 nights.

What I liked:
Gorgeous views from balcony and public areas. Nice pool, well-kept facility with outstanding customer service. Overall, this was a fantastic hotel that I hope to frequent.
What the hotel could do better:
Would love to see the showers finished to a higher level, and a sidewalk along the roadway to the beach would make the walk safer.

What I liked:
We enjoyed our VIP Room, the privacy, the pleasant staff, the daily dogs welcome, the hotel´s breakfast, the fabulous views, the nice grounds and the reasonable price.
What the hotel could do better:
The massage was shorter than promised. The breakfast area in the main building is alongside a busy road and noisy.
