Something different, right on the beach. When you arrive at the Santos Express it felt like your holiday started. The check in went well. They followed Covid 19 protocol. Our compartments were nice, overlook the beach. The Santos restaurant was also good. Their food was fabulous and tasty, we enjoyed our lunch here. Breakfast was included in our stay, and the whole experience was worthwhile. Thanks for an enjoyable experience.
