Fodor's Expert Review Quinta do Bucanero

The ultimate in barefoot luxury, this stunning hotel in Praia do Rosa is carved in and around the hillside some 100 feet above the beach, with rooms perched on wooden supports and vast slabs of rocks in the sitting area. Popular with honeymooners, the hotel has 12 rooms, decked out with plush furnishings and rustic touches—think bamboo, shells, and marble—and all with the same panoramic view of the lagoon and ocean below. Take a dip in the infinity pool, or head downhill to the pontoon where your own boatman awaits to take you across the lagoon to the beach and back.
