Why choose Hotel Casablanca?

• A lookout point for dolphin watching: the hotel's lookout, on the Praia do Giz cliff, has a panoramic sea view and dolphins are sometimes spotted from there.
• Atlantic Rainforest wildlife close up: the garden draws marmosets, tegu lizards, iguanas, hummingbirds and other native birds, right on the hotel grounds.
• Small scale: just 14 chalets, with a restaurant reserved for guests serving lunch and dinner until 9:00 pm, plus breakfast included.
• Its own path down to the beach: direct access to Praia do Giz, with an outdoor shower along the way to rinse off the sand.

What are the chalets like at Hotel Casablanca?

Hotel Casablanca splits its 14 units into two chalet types. The Duplo Chalet sleeps 2, with room for up to 2 extra beds (up to 4 guests, in combinations of 2 adults and 2 children or 3 adults and 1 child). The Triplo Chalet sleeps 3 and adds 1 extra bed, also up to 4 guests under the same combinations.

Both types share the same setup: a private veranda with a hammock, closet, air conditioning, ceiling fan, TV, minibar and bathtub. The veranda and hammock are the spot to start or close the day, with the garden and the Atlantic Rainforest as a backdrop.

Dining at Hotel Casablanca

The restaurant at Hotel Casablanca is reserved for guests only: it serves lunch and dinner until 9:00 pm, with the sea as a backdrop from the pool area. Breakfast is included in the rate, and room service is also available until 9:00 pm for anyone who would rather eat without leaving the chalet. The pool bar rounds out the offer, serving drinks by the water throughout the day, right where the view opens up toward the ocean.

Where is Hotel Casablanca located?

Hotel Casablanca is on R. José Inácio Rodrigues, 461, Tibau do Sul, in Rio Grande do Norte, atop the Praia do Giz cliff, wrapped in Atlantic Rainforest. A private path leads straight down to the sand, with an outdoor shower along the way.

Tibau do Sul sits on the other side of the Guarairas Lagoon from downtown Pipa: by car, Praia do Madeiro is about 4.3 km (2.7 mi) away and Baía dos Golfinhos, about 5 km (3.1 mi). It's a different kind of base than downtown Pipa, suited to travelers who put nature and the quiet of the cliff ahead of village life.

What's included in a stay at Hotel Casablanca?

• Breakfast included in the rate, every day.
• Restaurant reserved for guests, with lunch and dinner until 9:00 pm.
• Room service until 9:00 pm.
• 24-hour front desk.

• Garden with native Atlantic Rainforest wildlife and a sea-view lookout point.

Who is Hotel Casablanca best for?

Hotel Casablanca suits travelers who want the beach alongside nature: the cliff, the garden full of native wildlife and the lookout point with a chance of spotting dolphins add up to a setting quite different from downtown Pipa, quieter and greener. The Duplo and Triplo chalets, sleeping up to 4, work for couples and small families alike.

Since it's a property of just 14 chalets, with a restaurant reserved for guests, it also suits anyone who prefers small-scale, personal service over a big hotel, without giving up a sea-view pool or direct beach access. For a slower trip built around the cliff, the pool and the beach below, rather than the nightlife of downtown Pipa, the setting does most of the work on its own.

How to get to Hotel Casablanca from Natal?

Reaching Tibau do Sul means flying into Natal first and then continuing overland, skirting the Guarairas Lagoon. For that stretch, booking the Vive Pipa transfer is the simplest option: it drops passengers right at Hotel Casablanca's entrance. Those driving their own or a rented car will find free parking on site.
