Hotel Lagoa e Mar
"It's just a short flight from Rio or Sao Paulo to reach this popular Brazilian beach town. Stay at the Hotel Lagoa e Mar on Jaua Beach, a mile-long stretch of sand dotted with white dunes. The property has 12 freestanding bungalows built around a tropical garden and a large swimming pool...Snorkeling, swimming, and surfing are popular activities." Fodor review.
