The Transamerica is undoubtedly one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. It is set in a wonderful island full of palm trees, and it is just a couple of hours by plane from São Paulo. The hotel has its own airport where its crew welcome you and they make responsible for your luggage. In fact, they'll take it right to your room, and then back to your plane when it's time to return. The main building is not really outstanding but inside it is really charming and amazingly clean. Lots of really efficient maids make this possible. Service is really excellent and the hotel staff is helpfull and almost unnoticeable. There are two stunning pools, seven tennis courts, a great golf course, a prestigious spa and many other facilities, all very well appointed. Rooms are spacious and well arranged, and beds are great. Bathrooms are confortable, in spite of their lack of bath. There is a very long list of activities to be done and a bunch of bars and restaurans open all day. A drawback: the beach here is not as nice as it could be expected. Anyway, you can spend a whole week here without even setting a step on the sand. All in all, this is a great place for holidays -if you can pay for it.

I have been to some of the best resorts in Brazil and after spending one week in Comandatuba I rate it as my favourite. It's one of those places that you never feel alone, there are so many things to do, from classes in the pool, entertainment, gym, golf, walks on the beach, 4x4, Motorbikes, bicycles, football, tennis and then an incredible entertainment team for the Children. The one thing that I’ve enjoyed most is that it's by far the friendliest staff I've found in all my trips, always ready to help, but without bugging you, it's almost like in the Orient they are there but you only feel them until you need them. Besides the fact that you have so many different places where to be, you can either be in the middle of he entertainment, in a more isolated swimming pool, playing in a wonderful golf course or just bathing on an isolated beach.... I think what better describes Comandatuba is Quality with alternative. For me Comandatuba is almost the Perfect resort, ahh and the food is great too!

For the 13th time we returned to Comandatuba. The children today are 13 and 15 and enjoy each day they spend at this fantastic resort. The safety is total, the children can roam the island, there are non-stop activities: swimming (free form and a lap pool), the Occitane Spa, tennis courts, soccer, all water activities, music, dancing, excellent food and the nicest staff. We have been all over the world but the only place we return to year after year is Comandatuba...paradise on earth.
