Escape to Paradise: Ok Inn Hotel's Florianopolis Oasis Awaits! - The Real Deal (Maybe?)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because Escape to Paradise: Ok Inn Hotel's Florianopolis Oasis Awaits! is about to get the brutally honest, possibly overly-enthusiastic, and definitely not-perfect review it deserves. I'm talking deep dive, the kind that leaves you with a good idea of whether to pack your bags or run screaming for the hills. And trust me, I’ve considered both.
First Impressions: Accessibility…and the Elevator Saga
Let's be real. Accessibility is HUGE, and it's where things immediately get interesting. They say "facilities for disabled guests," which is promising, but I'm not a wheelchair user, so I couldn't fully assess that. However, the elevator situation was…an adventure. Let’s just say I’m pretty sure it occasionally communicated with the front desk via interpretive dance. Sometimes it worked perfectly, smoothly gliding up and down like a well-oiled machine. Other times… let’s just say I questioned the Air conditioning in public area as I slowly roasted waiting for the darn thing. But hey, at least there was one, right? And that’s a huge plus.
(Stream of Consciousness Alert!) Honestly though, the elevator, when it worked, was great. Clean, well-lit, and it did get me to my room, eventually. I just… need to embrace the chaos, I guess.
Inside the Rooms: Ah, Air Conditioning… Sweet, Sweet Relief!
Once you get past the possible elevator shenanigans (or, you know, take the stairs!), the rooms are… well, they’re ok. The Air conditioning? A goddamm lifesaver. Florianopolis is HOT. I mean, melt your face off hot. The Blackout curtains are also a godsend for those precious extra Zzz's, and the Bed was comfortable enough, with extra long bed for the tall folks. Linens were clean, though maybe a tiny bit…rustic? You get the sense they’ve seen better days.
And the Internet access – wireless? Yes, worked great most of the time! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! - a major win. The Internet access – LAN, less so. I tried to use it once, but it looked like it hadn't been touched since the dial-up days.
The Amenities: Spa Day Dreams and Gym Nightmares
Okay, now for the juicy stuff. Let's talk Spa and Fitness center. Spa/sauna is a big draw for a vacation. I'm a big fan of Pool with view. I was absolutely salivating at the idea of Body scrub and Body wrap and the Sauna. Did I actually DO any of that? Nope. But the Swimming pool [outdoor]? Magnificent! It was a shimmering oasis, perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring. Now THAT I used! The Fitness center… well, let's just say it hadn't quite kept up with the times. I swear, one of the treadmills looked like it was held together with duct tape and sheer willpower. It had a Gym/fitness but that was as close to a gym as you could get.
Dining: Food, Glorious Food! (Mostly)
Ah, the Dining, drinking, and snacking! This is where things became surprisingly delightful. The Breakfast [buffet]? Decent. Asian breakfast wasn't my cup of tea, and Western breakfast was my go-to. They had a Coffee/tea in restaurant and Coffee shop. Restaurants? Surprisingly diverse. The A la carte in restaurant was delicious. I even tried some Asian cuisine in restaurant. The Poolside bar was a major perk, serving up refreshing cocktails all day long. Did I mention the Happy hour? Yes, please! Snack bar to go. Overall, the food was mostly good, and the Bottle of water waiting in the room after a long day was a thoughtful touch.
(Anecdote Time!) One night, I ordered room service, Room service [24-hour], just because I could. And, wow! The food was surprisingly good, especially the Soup in restaurant! (The Salad in restaurant? Not so much. But the soup? GOLD.)
Cleanliness and Safety: Germaphobe Approved?
Okay, so safety. I'm a bit of a clean freak, so I paid very close attention to this. The Daily disinfection in common areas was reassuring, and the Hand sanitizer stations were everywhere. Individually-wrapped food options? Check. Rooms sanitized between stays was important to me. They also had Anti-viral cleaning products, Professional-grade sanitizing services, a First aid kit and a Doctor/nurse on call. So, on the whole, I felt pretty safe.
Things to Do & Relaxation: Paradise Found… Eventually.
Ways to relax were plentiful, if you were the type! The Sauna and Spa are very appealing to many. The Swimming pool and the beach nearby were definitely my go-to spots. The Gym/fitness may not be the best, but the beaches were beautiful.
The Extras: Perks (and Quirks!)
Let's talk Services and conveniences. The Concierge was incredibly helpful, always ready with advice and recommendations. They offered Cash withdrawal and Currency exchange. Daily housekeeping kept the room tidy (even after I made a disaster of it), and the Luggage storage was convenient.
The Deal-Breakers (or Makers!)
Fire extinguisher, good. Smoke alarms, good. Non-smoking rooms, good. The elevator. Well, we covered that.
(Quirky Observation!) I swear, the concierge could tell you anything except where they were actually getting the Daily housekeeping from. One day, my room seemed untouched; the next, it was pristine. It's a mystery for the ages!

Escape to Paradise: Zhisheng Hot Springs, Linyi's Hidden Gem
Alright, buckle up buttercups, ‘cause we’re diving headfirst into the glorious mess that was my trip to Florianopolis, Brazil, and specifically, the not-so-glamorous, but definitely memorable, Ok Inn Hotel. Prepare for a rollercoaster of sun, sand, questionable caipirinhas, and the occasional existential crisis.
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Mosquito Massacre (aka, "Where's the freaking bug spray?!")
- Morning: Landed in Florianopolis, which is instantly beautiful. Like, postcard-perfect. Except… my luggage decided to play hide-and-seek in the airport, which was the first sign of impending chaos. Finally retrieved it, relieved, and hopped into a sweaty taxi towards the Ok Inn Hotel.
- Afternoon: Check-in. Ah, the Ok Inn. Let's just say it wasn't exactly love at first sight. The lobby had this… unique smell, a mix of stale air conditioning and something vaguely reminiscent of overripe mangoes. But hey, it had a pool, and after the airport drama, ANY pool was a win. Unpacked, or, attempted to unpack. This is where I realize the mosquito situation in Florianopolis is not a joke. It is a full-blown, blood-sucking apocalypse. My legs are already sporting souvenirs in the form of itchy red welts. "Bug spray!" I scream internally. I desperately search my bag but the only thing i have is sunscreen. Not only am i getting bitten, but I'm also burning in the sun. I run back to the reception and desperately ask where I can get bug spray. After the reception guy (who looks like he's seen it all) gives me a very tired look, he directs me to a pharmacy a 20-minute walk away. Great.
- Evening: The mosquito hunt left me exhausted and slightly defeated. I had a mission, and I was on it. I finally found the pharmacy and bought the most industrial-strength bug spray I could find. Armed to the teeth, I marched back to the hotel, sprayed myself down like a biohazard suit, and promptly fell asleep on my bed. The delicious silence - and being left alone with my thoughts. I'd forgotten what that was like.
Day 2: Beach Bliss (and the Caipirinha Conundrum)
- Morning: Woke up, miraculously unbitten (thanks, heavy-duty insecticide!). Made my way to Praia Mole beach. Oh. My. God. Picture this: golden sand, crystal-clear water, surfers riding waves like graceful dolphins… It was pure, unadulterated paradise. Took a dip in the ocean, and it was cold! Very cold. But I loved it!
- Afternoon: Decided to become a Caipirinha connoisseur. After a few false starts (some were too sweet, others tasted like pure sugar cane), found a bar on the beach that made them perfectly. The first sip was heaven - the right balance of tart lime, sweet Cachaca, and crushed ice. I ended up trying 4 different varieties of caipirinhas. I was going to make myself a pro!
- Evening: The caipirinhas, combined with the sun, turned me into a giggling mess. The next thing I knew, I was trying to learn how to surf with a bunch of over-enthusiastic Brazilians. Needless to say, I mostly fell off my board. It was a glorious, embarrassing disaster. I ended up stumbling back to the Ok Inn, covered in sand, sun-kissed, and strangely content, as the receptionist gave me a knowing look.
Day 3: Exploring and the Accidental Hike (aka, "My Legs Are Killing Me")
- Morning: Actually managed to leave my room early. I was on a mission of exploration! I walked - or attempted to march - towards Lagoa da Conceição, a beautiful lagoon surrounded by cafes and shops. I got lost (shocking, I know), but it was a good wrong turn - found a super cute little cafe serving the BEST pao de queijo (Brazilian cheese bread)!
- Afternoon: Decided to take what I thought was a gentle hike up a nearby hill for the view. Famous last words. It was a STEEP climb. My legs felt like they were going to fall off. But the view from the top was breathtaking - the panoramic view of the island was worth every aching muscle.
- Evening: Back at the Ok Inn, I hobbled into the pool, hoping to soothe my aching muscles. The pool was nice, there's no doubt, but let's just say it wasn't exactly the cleanest. In fact, I found myself staring at something that definitely wasn't supposed to be floating. Okay, maybe, just maybe, the Ok Inn wasn't perfect. Didn't let it ruin the fun though - just told myself it added to the experience!
Day 4: Farewell (and a Plea for Bug-Spray Advancements)
- Morning: One last breakfast of pao de queijo. Seriously, I'm going to have to learn to make those.
- Afternoon: Final stroll on the beach, soaking up the sun and trying to memorize the feeling. The sun really does change the world.
- Evening: Packed up (this time, I actually remembered to check for any stray mosquitos). Checked out of the Ok Inn – a place that was everything and nothing. The adventure was ending. The receptionist waved goodbye. I could see the faint look of relief on his face. I smiled. I had survived, I had thrived, I had (mostly) avoided the mosquitos. Headed to the airport, plotting my return, and already dreaming of those caipirinhas. And bug spray. I really would like a technological advancement that makes bug spray a little more pleasant to use next trip. Please, Science, help a traveler out!
Final Thoughts:
Florianopolis is amazing, even if the Ok Inn was… rustic. The beaches, the food, the people… it was an experience. I learned a lot, mainly how NOT to surf, the power of a good caipirinha, and the importance of packing industrial-strength insect repellent. Would I go back? Absolutely. Would I stay at the Ok Inn again? Maybe, maybe not. But it certainly added to the stories, and that's what matters, right? It was a trip filled with moments of sheer joy and, yes, the occasional minor disaster. And that, my friends, is what life is all about. So, go, explore, get lost, and embrace the chaos! You will not regret it.
