Hotel Pedra Bonita

8/10 Good
"Bom custo benefício. Local lindo, em meio a natureza. Café da manhã saboroso e ainda tem um chá da tarde. Piscina aquecida coberta para dias frios. Falta apenas um blackout nas cortinas e achei os colchões um pouco moles. Além disso, algumas áreas como o salão de jogos em manutenção. Apesar desses detalhes, recomendo e pretendo voltar com meus filhos."
