"Spent 5 days for a long weekend in mid-April---it was not a holiday weekend but the place seemed pretty full. First time at this property but not the first time staying at a Fasano hotel. I would say categorically we have had great experiences at Fasano properties, so when I read in advance some of the less than positive reviews on the Trancoso resort, I was a bit surprised. Suffice it to say we would have to really struggle to think of a negative comment of any kind. The facilities were spotless; the atmosphere was great (super chill); the staff was amazing--to a person; the location is a 10 out of 10 (assuming you like never-ending/unspoiled beaches, no crowds, warm ocean water, perfect temperature, etc.etc.). The restaurant was outstanding for any meal...but the breakfast is not to be missed. The Quadrado in Trancoso city is worth the trip (several great restaurants and one-of-a-kind locals shops--only a handful of big international brands have opened there yet...so still has a very native feel--which sadly won't last forever). One of the resorts virtues is that it is hard to get to...but it is worth the effort. It was a 90 minutes drive from the Porto Seguro airport. So it is a long day if you are coming from anywhere other than a city that is a direct connection. It would be hard to call it 'value' oriented...it is expensive even in terms of USD.....but if you compare its cost to any other 5 star beach resort (Caribbean/Hawaii/Florida/Mexico) it is a bargain for what you get. Can't wait to go back."

"I had already spent some time here and had a very good memory. And also this time I was very happy. Extremely beautiful setting, nice rooms, great beach, great pool. As some reviewers mentioned the service is not perfect.sometimes it takes too long to get things done, you wait for something simple or it even gets forgotten. However everyone is extremely friendly and adorable, so you forgive the imperfections. I hope they work on the service as this could make the stay even better. I was very happy during the whole week I stayed and will definitely return. Thanks to the whole team for their friendliness and hospitality."
