Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Ponta das Canas

Cozy up in the poolside Jacuzzi to watch an epic sunset over the mainland at this hotel on the northern tip of Florianópolis. The hotel's Canto do Mar restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, buffet-style. Request a room with a balcony overlooking the bay for the best sunset views. Stroll to nearby Ponta das Canas Beach, and stick your feet in the sand at the Garra Azul restaurant, by the same owners, while trying siri na manga, a tasty crab and mango appetizer, or crunchy octopus with a chili jelly.
