The 10 best water parks in and near Florianopolis

The Majestic Hotel offers an overall decent experience, but there is a significant issue with the room’s dampness. The musty odor is overwhelming, and my clothes quickly absorbed the unpleasant smell due to the lack of windows for ventilation—aside from the air conditioning. While I would be eager to return due to the exceptional five-star service, the breakfast leaves room for improvement. I would rate it four stars, as it lacks that final touch. The variety of main dishes could be changed more frequently, and offering sparkling wine or champagne would elevate the experience to match the standards expected of a five-star hotel. Additionally, providing welcome water in the room should be a standard amenity for a hotel of this caliber. While most of the staff are friendly, some do not come across as genuine. Upon my arrival, I was disappointed to find that I was assigned a dirty room after requesting an early check-in. Furthermore, I was mistakenly charged for drinks consumed by the previous guest. Although the manager removed the charges, no sincere apology was offered, nor was any attempt made to make amends, such as offering a complimentary drink. This lack of consideration left us feeling upset. I visit Florianópolis annually and would love to return to this hotel, but the dampness issue is a serious concern that requires the attention of upper management. The only aspect of my stay that lived up to five-star standards was the dinner, which was excellent and well-executed. I hope my feedback is taken constructively, as my intent is to help improve the guest experience. My words should be viewed as suggestions to turn into action, with the goal of encouraging repeat guests.

Great location close to everything. Ocean front but not a beach you can go in the water and lay in the sun. Problems: We got the best room ocean front the most expensive like 900 reais per day and 1- The sofa in the room was filthy full of dirty spots and the lounge chair had 2 holes in it. For the price and being a “5 stars” they should throw their sofas in the dump and buy new ones. 2- The bathroom light was very weak so it was too dark to put make up on ,really ridiculous. 3- They have a roof top where they rent to third parties for their events so on a Friday we could not sleep because of the loud noise of the music and their DJ! That started at 10:30pm until 3:00AM and they did nothing about it although I complained 4 times! 4- They have a cigar bar in the entrance and although they say you can’t smoke everybody smokes there and the smoke smell comes to the hotel lobby. I have asthma and my husband allergies so wasn’t fun. 5- nobody speaks English in that hotel. They have a big crew and we only met one person on the last day that could speak English. 6- We tried to enter their restaurant for a happy hour on a Friday and they asked for 150 Reais $ charge for entrance only and we were supposed to pay extra for drinks so we decided not to participate. I never saw that before. And me and my husband have traveled more then 20 countries. So be prepared to paid a lot of money just for the location!!!

There is nothing majestic about this hotel. Outdated and too expensive. More a 2 star motel than anything else. Rooms are outdated, hotel is incredibly noisy, breakfast subpar & service level is very limited. Avoid this hotel.

It’s old hotel. My room has a mold smell and you can see that this hotel needs a restoration by looking how furniture are wear out Room quite clean but mold odor is not helping to give a good comment. Nice staff people even kind of hard to communicate in English or Spanish as alternative, unless you speak Portuguese. Anyhow even at Florianopolis Airport, or restaurant, gas station or rental car facility, very very hard find someone speak English, so te only way to communicate is using Spanish which in a way us kind of close to Portuguese. Don’t know if and translator app will work but maybe is the way to communicate there.

Not a 5-star hotel. Perhaps a good 3-star. Loud bedroom, outdate and poor furniture, lack of amenities in the room (no hanger for towels, not enough light in the bathroom, etc), stained sofa, visible cables, breakfast quality is poor (coffee from a machine, dry cakes, tasteless food). The view is great. Do not recommend and will never return.

This hotel seems to be trapped in the past, with little to no renovation over the years, leaving it far behind modern expectations. While the sea view is a highlight, the drawbacks significantly overshadow the experience. The layout of the rooms is puzzling and nothing like the images advertised on the website. Key issues include poorly placed furniture (e.g., a sofa and desk awkwardly positioned in the middle of the room), exposed cables (such as an internet router dangling below the desk), and strange design choices like electrical plugs in the wardrobe. The lack of functional amenities, like having just one towel hanger in a 35 sqm room, further adds to the frustration. The noise level is a major downside. Despite the allure of a sea view, the proximity to the noisy Beiramar road means constant traffic sounds. With no proper window insulation, even earplugs can’t save you from sleepless nights. If peace and quiet are what you seek, this is not the place for you. To make matters worse, the breakfast experience is underwhelming. It’s described as very basic, with limited variety and an overcrowded dining area that detracts from any enjoyment. In summary, while the view may appeal to some, the outdated design, noise issues, and subpar amenities make it hard to recommend this hotel. For a more comfortable and serene stay, you might want to look elsewhere.

Excellent hotel located front line. Rooms are large and spacious - could do with more wardrobe space though. Bathrooms a good size. Pool is out doors and isn't heated so hardly used. Small gym that has sufficient equipment and is hardly used. Panoramic views of the coast from the dining room. Food is good and staff excellent- very friendly and helpful

Calm and nice beach. I prefer the beaches from the north of Floripa, though.

Its a very calm beach, good for playing and hang out with friends. The sea water its a bit cold. There are some eaves.

You have the beach with a tin white sand and you can do a little tracking in order to reach the "Cachoeira da Solidão" - Lonely Falls

Nice Walk

The best beach.

Perfect secluded little beach surrounded by rocks and hills and a waterfall

Pp

(Translated by Google) The size of this lagoon is impressive. Ideal for sailing, water sports, and you can see people participating in various activities. There are many places to go down to the lagoon, including residential areas, shops, bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and various other activities. Be careful, the water is ugly; some people told us not to go in. In summer, traffic is very heavy, and you can spend a lot of time waiting. (Original) Impresionante lo grande de esta laguna. Ideal para deportes acuáticos a vela, se pueden ver personas haciendo distintos deportes. Tiene muchos lugares de bajada a la laguna, espacios de casas, de comercios, de bares, restaurantes, boliches nocturnos y varias actividades más. Cuidado que está fea el agua, algunas personas nos indicaron no meternos. En verano el tránsito es muy intenso, se puede pasar mucho tiempo esperando

(Translated by Google) A great place to have a picnic, enjoy water sports, or eat at a nearby bar. It offers several options for a pleasant afternoon. (Original) Lugar ótimo para fazer um piquenique, curtir esportes na água, ou comer em barzinho no entorno. Oferece várias opções para uma tarde agradável.

The perfect place to hang out. Very friendly owner. Beautiful patio, kitchen and huge livinig room to share. No need to take even slippers. Just put on your swim suit and run to the water for your morning swim. Walk back the 50m, take a shower in the garden and enjoy the breakfast buffet!

(Translated by Google) The location is great, but the bathroom was not very clean: it smelled like urine when we first entered the room, and it looked like they had stayed with cousin It before us, because there was hair on the walls of the shower and outside as well. We also had a noise problem, and the management ended up forwarding the message from one guest to another. Next time, I suggest rewriting the messages to calm the situation. (Original) De fato, a localização é ótima. Mas deixou a desejar na limpeza do banheiro: muito cheiro de urina quando entramos no quarto pela primeira vez, e pareciam ter hospedado o primo It antes de nós, porque tinham cabelos nas paredes do box do banheiro e de fora também. Também tivemos uma questão de barulho que a gerência acabou encaminhando a mensagem de um hóspede para o outro. Da próxima, sugiro reescrever as mensagens para pacificar a situação.

(Translated by Google) We just arrived and we already want to return! If you want to rest and get away from the monotony and noise, this is your option. We went on vacation for a week as a group of 6 people, including a child and an elderly person with crutches. Proximity to a wonderful beach with warm water and little waves (Praia do Pantano do Sul), supermarkets, souvenir shops, ice cream parlors, fishmongers, restaurants, pharmacy and public transport. Located 20 minutes from the airport, it has spacious rooms with minibar, cable TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms with hot water. Comfortable beds and good cleaning service. The staff is very friendly and includes continental breakfast at the Perellos Restaurant Bar, which is next door. (I highlight the pastries and fresh fruit, in addition to the wide variety of products available) The price is fair and it is an excellent opportunity to rest in a comfortable, quiet and low-cost place. You won't regret it! PS: They have bananas in the yard (Original) Acabamos de llegar y ya queremos volver! Si quieres descansar y alejarte de la monotonía y la bulla, esta es tu opción. Fuimos de vacaciones por una semana un grupo de 6 personas, incluyendo un niño y un adulto mayor con muletas. Cercanía a una maravillosa playa de agua tibia y poco oleaje (Praia do Pantano do Sul), a supermercados, tiendas de souvenirs, heladerías, pescaderías, restaurantes, farmacia y locomoción colectiva. Ubicada a 20 min del aeropuerto, cuenta con habitaciones amplias con frigobar, tv cable, aire acondicionado, wifi, baños limpios con agua caliente. Camas cómodas y buen servicio de limpieza. El personal muy amable e incluye desayuno continental en el Perellos Restaurante Bar, que esta al costado. (Destaco los pasteles y la fruta fresca, además de la amplia variedad de productos disponibles) El precio es justo y es una oportunidad excelente para descansar en un lugar cómodo, tranquilo y a bajo costo. No se arrepentirán! PD: Tienen bananos en el patio

(Translated by Google) Very nice and well located place, attentive host. Overall the only thing that wasn't very nice was that there was a bit of a urine smell coming from the bathroom apparently, we had to buy bleach to alleviate it but I believe that not all rooms smell like that, we stayed on the top floor. Otherwise everything was very nice, there is a kitchen and barbecue available for guests to use. (Original) Local bastante agradável e bem localizado, anfitrião atencioso. No geral a única coisa não muito legal é que tem um pouco de cheiro de urina vindo do banheiro aparentemente, tivemos que comprar água sanitária para amenizar mas acredito que não são todos os quartos que se sente, ficamos na parte superior. De resto tudo muito legal, tem cozinha e churrasqueira disponível para os hóspedes utilizarem.

(Translated by Google) The guesthouse is clean, the room is small but well-organized and cleaned daily. The shared kitchen is very nice, and the host is approachable and attentive. The breakfast with warm corn and carrot cakes was wonderful - Cássia was super kind and attentive. The beach is very quiet and close to some shops. We arranged transfers and excursions with the guesthouse's partner, Mr. Fabiano, who was very kind and attentive, and everything was excellent. Cons: When we booked through the Decolar website, we paid a little extra for a superior room, but we were given a ground floor room. Since we arrived late at night and were tired from the trip, we chose not to question the situation. This room lacks a closet or clothesline for wet clothes, so we had to improvise. Otherwise, our stay was pleasant and peaceful. We thank everyone. (Original) Pousada limpa, quarto pequeno mas bem organizado e com limpeza diária, a cozinha compartilhada é bem bacana, e anfitrião acessível e atencioso. Destaque ao café da manhã com bolo de milho e de cenoura quentinhos e estavam maravilhosos - Cássia super gentil e cuidadosa. A praia é muito sossegada e perto de alguns pontos comerciais. Fizemos transfer e passeios com parceiro da pousada, Sr Fabiano, muito gentil, atencioso, e foi tudo excelente. Pontos negativos: Na compra efetuada pelo site da Decolar, pagamos um pouquinho a mais solicitando quarto superior, porém fomos hospedados no térreo, como chegamos a noite e devido ao cansaço da viagem, optamos por não questionar o feito. Neste quarto não há armário e varal para roupas molhadas, então foi necessário improviso próprio. No mais, a estadia foi agradável e tranquila. Agradecemos a todos.

(Translated by Google) The location is perfect, literally right on the sand. The hotel is super cute and has a kitchen, so you can cook your own meals. Super clean and organized. The staff are super friendly. The place is paradise on earth. The restaurant next door (pelleros) is perfect. And the kitchen is adorable. Seriously, the food is perfect!! I would eat there every day. My order was the Blumenau sausage risotto; if you like it, go for it, it's perfect. The hotel breakfast is wonderful, and everything is super fresh and well-arranged; the cake was even still warm. I've visited several states and cities, and I can say that my rating for starfish is a 10. If you want to spend a few days without a car, that's also possible, as there are markets, restaurants, and a pharmacy nearby. It's a little far from the center, which is perfect. Extremely safe, with people always on their phones, regardless of the time of day. The history of this place is beautiful. I only met Tiago, who greeted me upon arrival; he was super kind and hospitable. Come! Just come! (Original) O local é perfeito literalmente pé na areia. O hotel é super fofo e tem cozinha então você pode fazer alguma coisinha. Super limpo e organizado. Funcionários super gentis. O lugar é um paraíso na terra O restaurante do lado (pelleros) é perfeito E a cozinha uma fofa, sério que comida perfeita!! Comeria todos os dias. Meu pedido foi o risoto de linguiça Blumenau, se você gosta vá sem medo pq é perfeito. Café da manhã do hotel é maravilhoso e tudo super fresco e bem arrumadinho, o bolo estava até quente ainda. Já visitei vários estados e cidades e posso dizer que a minha nota para estrelas do mar é 10. Se quiser ficar uns bons dias sem carro também dá pois tem mercado, restaurantes e farmácia perto. Um pouquinho longe do centro o que é perfeito. Extremamente seguro, pessoas com o celular na mão tempo todo independente do horário do dia. A história desse local é linda, conheci apenas o Tiago que foi quem me recebeu na chegada, super gentil e hospitaleiro. Venham!! Apenas venham!
