This place is a jewel in the forest! In only 2 minutes with the boat you can be on the mainland and get anywhere you need to go by either metro, bus or uber. Once on the mainland you can also walk to the Barra de Tijuca beach which is in my opinion even more beautiful than Copacabana or Ipenema. And after spending the day in Rio, the boat trip back to the island is like a little adventure taking you to a completely different place. You no longer feel like you're in the city - but rather on a private island resort. Heaven!
The accommodation itself is perfect - very functional, beautifully designed and very clean. The outdoor communal kitchen/living area is very relaxing and a great place to hang out. And a dip in the pool will cool you off and Capy is always making sure the pool is clean and well maintained.
But the most fabulous part of the property are the owners Capy and Nagela. They help you with everything you need - from arranging the boat tickets, taxi from the airport, tips on where to go and how to get there. Communication was easy since Capy speaks English very well. They are extremely warm and friendly people and I would definitely go back there next time I go to Rio (or just need a getaway!)
