well.. amazing hotel. with full service. if you want stay ar one place. this is almost a resort.

Great staff, nice place

very nice beach

Fun place for a weekend stay when the weather is nice. Not very much to do when the weather is cold. Would recommend for December - April. Clean, moderately upscale place. Room service / the restaurant aren't cheap, but aren't bad either. There is a "heated" mini pool but it's not particularly warm. Outdoor / main pool is very fun when it's hot outside.

The hotel is quite nice. Simple but a fair cost.

We stayed at Ingleses Acquamar for four days on our way to Porto Alegre. We are Americans fluent in Portugese and Spanish, and had heard that Florianopolis was a lovely resort, and Acquamar was on Pria Ingleses, the best beach in the area. The beach is nice, but not among the top fifty in the world. The hotel is new, and most things still work, but it is deteriorating rapidly. The breakfasts are excellent, and the other meals are nice; the pools are large and comfortable, and the gyms, playgrounds, and beach access are also excellent. That said, it is a hotel designed and best for Brazilian middle-class families. The staff is bureaucratic, the single elevator makes waits quite long, and the maintenance is primitive (no glasses in room, and none provided after request; hall light out, not fixed during our stay; toilet tank took 1/2 hour to fill; etc.). The hotel has absolutely no foliage; everything is stark concrete. The service required by an international traveler--e.g., assistance with ATM card--was non-existent. As stated, a nice hotel for Brazilian families, but not for international travelers. Amazingly, a neighboring hotel (Costa Norte) was much more elegant, sophisticated, and cheaper!
