Farol da Ilha Hotel

This was the second hotel we have stayed at in Florianopolis and the first in the old town having previously stayed near the Beira mar shopping center on the water front. The room was well appointed, clean and comfortable however a little small with little more than 2 to 3 ft surrounding the bed. The staff were some of the most courteous and helpful we found during our time in Brasil. As a base for exploring the old town the hotel is close by, but we found very little options for evening meals and had to catch a taxi down to the waterfront to eat. Overall, if it is a one night stop over before the airport with a quick sightsee of the old town the afternoon before this is ideal but if you are staying longer I would recommend spending a little more on the accommodation and staying close to the Shopping center and restaurants as the area is much nicer and you won't spend a fortune on taxis.
