  December holiday

  This was one of the nicest holidays we ever had. We have never been to a place before where we had experienced such wonderful and exceptional customer service! All the staff are extremely friendly and will go an extra mile with a smile on their faces to ensure that you are happy and enjoying your time. We have opted for a full board option which I will recommend and received gourmet plated three course meals at lunch and dinner. You can also book activities at the SEE activities centre with Joanne and her team. The villas are five star quality and in close proximity to the sea. We will recommend Sentidos to anyone who is looking for a place where you can relax and if you are looking for exceptional friendly staff. Thank you for our amazing holiday!

  Incredible food and staff!!

  We had the pleasure of travelling to Sentidos in December. The rooms are modern and spacious and not far from the beautiful beach. Sadly there has been a bit of tidal damage so they were busy working on getting this fixed when we were there. The food was incredible and the service very impressive. Will definitely be back soon....

  Wonderful holiday!

  We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and clean designed with Asian architecture and nice touches. The location is perfect on a quite end of the beach. The SEE activity center offers many activities. The only down side is there is a barrier wall between the villas and the beach so while the beach is a few meters away from the villa, access requires walking to the end of the property which isnt far but slightly awkward, instead of walking straight to the beach from the deck of the villa. The beach is calmer than Tofo, this isnt a beach for surfing but great for kayaking and snorkeling to the reef that is close. The restaurant is good and the staff are happy to accommodate but the options for dinner were limited (mostly Portuguese inspired) and there was no menu for breakfast or lunch but they try to accommodate which becomes an interesting conversation especially if Portuguese isnt your first or second language. There are other dining options in Tofo (15 minutes away). Due to COVID the spa was closed.

  Awesome place but falls short

  What can I say.... returned again after first visit in 2018 august. Firstly it is really beautiful. The resort has had immense amount of money thrown in to build a fantastic place. Villas are luxurious, restaurant location is dramatic and views are stunning. Menu is very ambitious and has a wonderful variety, if only they were available. Here lies the problem with Sentidos, and was exactly the same the last time we were there.... half of the items on the menu are not available!!! What there is, is delicious, but unfortunately just too many things not available for a five star resort such as this, and for what you are paying. Sooo frustrating. We even asked them in advance to ensure they stocked up (because of previous experience), however despite the reassurances, too many things were simply not available. They didnt even have cachaca for the caipirinha!! I mean, youre sitting on the beach in Barra, yet you cant even get a caipirinha. Even the cheap beach bar next door has it. Its also quite remote, and we wanted to just stay at the resort and enjoy a few days after having rented a house on the beach the week before. Just frustrating. Bad enough to not want to go again. Other small issue is the staff are not taught to speak English. Sorry, but for an international quality (and priced) resort, you gotta have English speaking staff. They did try their best, and Paipe our waiter for the duration of our stay was fantastic, helpful and did his best to communicate with us. Most of the rest of the staff didnt really understand what we were trying to order so that fell short. Finally, and another typical example of where Sentidos doesnt have issues spending money on infrastructure, however just dont get it when it comes to creating ambiance and a truly special place that it is. They recently built a concrete wall protecting the resort from the sea tides etc, and put a beautiful hardwood balustrade all along the top of the wall (for protection etc), but then proceeded to lay a LED strip light along the entire length of the balustrade (in cool white) such that as soon as it got dark, there was this awful intrusive bright light that ran the entire length of the resort between the villas (and the beautiful softly lit - warm yellow lamps garden with cosy seating areas, etc) and the beach / ocean. So now, when you want to sit on your villa deck and look out to the ocean or up at the stars, you have this revolting bright striplight ruining your view. Suggestion: rip off the striplight from the balustrade, you have ruined an otherwise beautiful place. Then all the terraces (villas and restaurant) also have shade netting instead of canvas, so every time it rains, you have to go inside and all the sofas, cushions etc get soaking wet, so cant go back outside until the next day when they have to dry out everything.... That really sums it up.
