Ask anyone that had been to Ponta d Oro, what in their opinion the charm of the place is and you are likely to get different answers from different people. Many of them, however, would agree that they particularly enjoyed the simple, laid back, holiday atmosphere of the place. As to the charm, you ask? The people! The little Portuguese restaurants and pubs! Oh, no - the cantina's! NO, no - the diving! And so each has his or her perception of the charm of this little village that so amply gives, in many ways, towards a great relaxing holiday. The tropical weather, the beautiful white beaches, the blue sea, the dune forests, the small town with almost no or little traffic, the safety of the place, the seclusion of the place, or just the fact that it is Ponta itself, which excites many holiday makers each year.

Ponta d Ouro accommodation has plenty to offer the holidaymaker, whether they are families, divers, windsurfers or groups of fishermen or plain beach bums! You can have the most basic and cheap accommodation or you can splash it out at one of the lodges or the boutique hotel - the choice is yours. Whatever you decide on, just make sure you book well in advance or else you will be losing out on a truly great holiday in the tropics. Wherever you decide on staying you will never be that far from the 'action' of town and its cantina's eateries and pubs filled with people in a relaxed mood enjoying them at their chosen leisure activity. The windsurfers are always a casual fun loving bunch with their tanned bodies, long hair and sometimes strange way of talking adding color to the local scene, while, of course, you couldn't miss the boasting of the fishermen -successful at their quest or not!
