Resort policies
The rules that apply to every stay, in plain language.
Service charge
The resort adds a 10% service charge to services and products consumed. It goes to our staff, in recognition of their service.
The charge is optional: you decide whether to pay it at check-out.
Check-in and check-out
Check-in is from 3 pm and check-out is by noon. The front desk is open 24 hours; early check-in depends on availability that day.
Recanto Cataratas follows Ordinance No. 28 of Brazil's Ministry of Tourism, dated September 16, 2025. In short:
- A nightly rate covers a 24-hour period.
- Room cleaning and turnover time is included in the nightly rate and does not exceed 3 hours.
- Check-in and check-out times, and the estimated cleaning time, are shared with guests before their stay.
- Early check-in or late check-out may carry a separate rate, always communicated in advance.
- During your stay, your room is cleaned and bed linens and towels are changed. If you'd rather skip housekeeping, just let us know.
To confirm the times for your booking, contact our reservations team: +55 45 2102-3000.
Children
- Up to 2 children aged 10 and under stay free, within the maximum capacity of the room type booked.
- Under Brazil's Child and Adolescent Statute, minors staying without their parents or legal guardians need a lodging authorization. Ask our reservations team for the form before you travel.

- PIX (Brazil's instant payment system) is available in selected campaigns.
- Promotional campaign rates are non-refundable and dates cannot be changed.
- Discounts cannot be combined.
- Rates are quoted in Brazilian reais (BRL).
Documents for children and teens
At check-in, show an ID for the child or teen, such as a birth certificate or passport, and for the parents or guardians. If the minor is traveling with other adults, also bring the authorizations required by law, notarized when necessary.
Cancellation and early departure
Cancellation, change and no-show rules depend on the rate, the travel dates and where you booked (our site, an agency or another platform). The deadlines and fees shown when you book apply.
If you leave early or cut your stay short, for any reason, unused nights are not refunded, discounted or credited, under the rate booked and applicable law.
Confirmation and prepayment
Your booking is confirmed once payment is approved. The charge may be made to the credit card provided shortly after booking. At check-in, we may ask for an official photo ID and the card used for payment. To prepay another way, contact our reservations team and ask for the form.
Taxes and fees
- A 5% municipal service tax (ISS) applies to nightly rates.
- The tourism fee of R$ 4.30 per person per night is optional.
Occupancy, pets and parking
- Each room takes no more guests than the maximum for its type.
- Pets are not allowed, except as provided by law, such as guide dogs.
- Parking is free during your stay.
