Unleash Your Passion: Motel Tentação's Adults-Only Paradise in Canela, Brazil
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into the sensual (and maybe a little chaotic) world of Motel Tentação in Canela, Brazil. This isn't your grandma's Holiday Inn, folks. This is Unleash Your Passion territory, and frankly, I'm already buzzing with excitement (and maybe a little apprehension – hey, I'm just a reviewer!).
First things first: Accessibility. This is a tricky one. I don't have personal experience needing wheelchair access, but from what I can gather, the information is… mixed. While they mention facilities for disabled guests, the details are thin. This is something to clarify before booking, especially if accessibility is a deal-breaker. Seriously, call them. Don't trust my rambling.
On-site accessible restaurants / lounges: Again, need to confirm. The website doesn't scream "accessible dining," but hopefully, they're accommodating. This is Brazil, after all – hopefully, they're used to being flexible.
Internet, Internet [LAN], Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, Internet services, Wi-Fi in public areas, Wi-Fi for special events: Okay, good news! Wi-Fi is supposedly everywhere. And, in this day and age, it better be. Because, let's be honest, if you're at a motel called Temptation, you're gonna want to share those ahem "special moments" online, right? (Don't judge me!) I'm hoping the connection is strong enough to stream something scandalous, but I'll keep you posted.
Things to do, ways to relax: Oh, this is where it gets juicy. Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]: Basically, you can pamper yourself silly. The pool with a view? Sounds divine. The sauna? Perfect for… well, you get the idea. And the spa? I'm already picturing myself getting a massage, letting all my worries melt away, and then… ahem. Let's just say, this place is designed for relaxation and… other activities.
Cleanliness and safety: This is a biggie, especially post-pandemic. Anti-viral cleaning products, Breakfast takeaway service, Cashless payment service, Daily disinfection in common areas, Doctor/nurse on call, First aid kit, Hand sanitizer, Hot water linen and laundry washing, Hygiene certification, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Room sanitization opt-out available, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Shared stationery removed, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment: They seem to be taking this seriously, which is a HUGE relief. I'm a germaphobe at heart, so I'm happy to see all the precautions. Especially the hand sanitizer. Gotta keep those hands clean, you know?
Dining, drinking, and snacking: A la carte in restaurant, Alternative meal arrangement, Asian breakfast, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Bar, Bottle of water, Breakfast [buffet], Breakfast service, Buffet in restaurant, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, Desserts in restaurant, Happy hour, International cuisine in restaurant, Poolside bar, Restaurants, Room service [24-hour], Salad in restaurant, Snack bar, Soup in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, Western breakfast, Western cuisine in restaurant: Holy moly, the options! Asian breakfast? International cuisine? A poolside bar?! My stomach is already rumbling. The 24-hour room service is a game-changer. Imagine ordering a decadent dessert at 3 AM… pure bliss. And the buffet breakfast… I'm in! (Just hoping the food is as good as it sounds!)
Services and conveniences: Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center: They’ve got all the usual suspects, plus a few surprises. The on-site event hosting could be interesting… maybe a themed party? (I'm getting ideas…) The convenience store is a lifesaver, because, let's face it, you might forget some… essentials.
For the kids: Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal: Uh, no. This is an adults-only paradise. No kids allowed. Praise the lord.
Access, Security, and Safety: CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property, Check-in/out [express], Check-in/out [private], Couple's room, Exterior corridor, Fire extinguisher, Front desk [24-hour], Hotel chain, Non-smoking rooms, Pets allowed unavailable, Proposal spot, Room decorations, Safety/security feature, Security [24-hour], Smoke alarms, Soundproof rooms: This place is designed for privacy and security. The 24-hour security and express check-in/out are definite pluses. And that proposal spot? Someone's getting lucky!

Blackout curtains? Check. Bathrobes and slippers? Double-check. Extra-long bed? YES, PLEASE! And the on-demand movies… well, let your imagination run wild.
Now, for the juicy part: MY EXPERIENCE (or, the potential for it!)
I'm picturing myself arriving, exhausted from the journey, and being whisked away to my room. The private check-in is a nice touch – no awkwardness in the lobby, just straight to the good stuff. I’d be greeted by a bottle of chilled water (hydration is key!), and a room filled with… well, hopefully, some seriously seductive decor. Think plush bedding, mood lighting, and maybe a few strategically placed mirrors. (Don't judge, I’m going for the full experience!)
The first thing? A long, hot shower. Followed by slipping into that bathrobe and ordering room service. Maybe a decadent dessert and a glass of wine. Then, perhaps, a little exploration of the on-demand movie selection. (Again, don't judge!)
The next day? A massage at the spa. Followed by lounging by the pool with a view, soaking up the sun and sipping cocktails. And then… well, the possibilities are endless. Maybe a romantic dinner, followed by… well, you get the idea.
The Imperfections, the Quirks, and the Honest Truth
Okay, let's be real. This place isn't perfect. The lack of clear accessibility information is a major red flag. And I'm betting there's a certain… cheesiness factor involved. This is a motel designed for passion, not necessarily refined luxury. But that's part of the charm, right? It's supposed to be fun, a little bit over-the-top, and designed to let you unleash something, whatever that might be.
Here's the real deal: I'm going in with an open mind and a sense of adventure. I'm expecting a few bumps in the road, maybe some slightly dated decor, and possibly some questionable music choices at the bar. But I'm also expecting an unforgettable experience. A chance to relax, indulge, and maybe even rekindle some sparks. Or, you know, just have a really good time.
So, is Motel Tentação worth it?
Here's my pitch, my Unleash Your Passion offer:
Tired of the same old routine? Craving a getaway that's both relaxing and… exciting?
Then book your escape to Motel Tentação in Canela, Brazil!

Okay, buckle up, buttercup. This isn't your sanitized, Instagram-filtered itinerary. This is the REAL deal, the raw, the messy, the "did I REALLY just do that?" version of a trip to Motel Tentacao in Canela, Brazil. Consider yourself warned.
Motel Tentacao: A Rollercoaster of Romance (and Questionable Decisions)
Day 1: Arrival & Anticipation (or, "Honey, Pack the Good Underwear")
14:00 - Arrival at Porto Alegre Airport (POA): Holy crap. I’m actually doing this. Solo trip. To a… motel. An adult-only motel. My palms are sweating, and I’m pretty sure I over-packed. (Did I really need that sequined top? Probably not.) The airport is a chaotic symphony of Portuguese, luggage carts, and the faint smell of desperation (mine, mostly). Finding the rental car was a minor victory. Now, the drive…
16:00 - The Drive to Canela (and the First Glimpse of the Promised Land): The GPS is yelling at me, I'm pretty sure I'm in the wrong lane, and the scenery is…well, it's Brazil. Lush, green, and occasionally punctuated by what I think are roadside fruit stands. (I may or may not have considered stopping for a mango. Or three.) The anticipation is building. I keep replaying the motel's website in my head. Oh, the themed rooms… the promise of unadulterated relaxation. I need this. Badly.
18:00 - Check-in at Motel Tentacao (and the First "Holy Mother of God" Moment): Okay, so the exterior is… discreet. Let’s call it that. But the receptionist is gorgeous. And speaks barely any English. Excellent. The room choices are overwhelming. "Room with a Jacuzzi? Yes, please!" "Room with a pole? Uh, maybe later." I opt for the "Romantic Suite" – because, you know, I'm all about the romance. The key card clicks, the door swings open… and BAM! It’s a sensory overload. Red velvet, mirrors everywhere, a heart-shaped bed, and a disco ball that's practically begging for a good time. I laugh out loud. Then I blush. Then I start unpacking.
19:00 - Settling In (and the Discovery of the Mini-Bar): Okay, time to assess the situation. The Jacuzzi is enormous. The TV has more channels than my brain can process. And the mini-bar… oh, the mini-bar. It’s a treasure trove of sugary drinks, questionable snacks, and tiny bottles of… well, you get the picture. I decide to embrace the chaos and pop open a mini-bottle of something bubbly. Cheers to me!
20:00 - Dinner in the Room (and the Realization That I Forgot the Damn Corkscrew): Room service! Because, let’s be honest, I’m not leaving this love nest. I order a pizza and a bottle of wine (see above). Then I realize I have absolutely no way to open the wine. I try to improvise with a shoe. It doesn't work. I call reception, feeling a bit like a complete idiot. The gorgeous receptionist sends a guy up with a corkscrew. He smirks. I blush again. The pizza is surprisingly good.
21:00 - Jacuzzi Time (and the Questionable Decisions Begin): The water is hot. The bubbles are plentiful. I’m alone. This is… glorious. I decide to put on some Brazilian music and let loose. Then I start singing along. Badly. Then I start dancing. Worse. Then I… well, let’s just say I might have had a little too much bubbly. The night is young, and the possibilities… are endless. (And slightly terrifying.)
23:00 - Bedtime (or, The Night is Not Yet Over): The bed… the heart-shaped bed… I crawl into it, giggling like a teenager. The disco ball is still casting its spell. I try to sleep, but my mind is racing. What will tomorrow bring? What could tomorrow bring? I drift off, a strange mix of exhaustion and anticipation bubbling inside me.
Day 2: Exploration, Exuberance, and (Possibly) Regret
09:00 - Wake-up (or, The Morning After the Disco): The sunlight streams in, and I’m… alive. (And possibly slightly hungover.) I survey the scene: a rumpled bed, a half-empty bottle, and a lingering scent of… well, let's call it "romance." I decide to skip breakfast. I'm not sure my stomach is up for it.
10:00 - Exploring the Motel (and the Discovery of the "Playroom"): Time to venture out of my love nest. I stroll around the motel grounds, which are surprisingly lush and well-maintained. There's a pool, a garden, and a few other themed rooms peeking out from behind strategically placed foliage. (I may have peeked into a few open doors. Don't judge me.) And then I see it: a room labeled "Playroom." My curiosity is piqued. I peek inside. Let's just say it's… interesting. (And definitely not for the faint of heart.) I quickly back away, deciding to stick to the Jacuzzi.
12:00 - Lunch (and the Realization That I’m Actually Really Hungry): Back to room service! This time, I’m going for something a little more… substantial. A burger, maybe? Or perhaps some fries. Or, you know, both. I order a feast, feeling a bit like a queen.
13:00 - The Jacuzzi Redux (and the Decision to Embrace the Absurdity): Back in the bubbly embrace of the Jacuzzi. This time, I embrace the absurdity of it all. I put on some cheesy pop music, splash around, and laugh at myself. This is ridiculous. And I love it.
15:00 - Exploring Canela (and the Escape from the Love Nest): Okay, time to leave the bubble. I venture out to Canela, a charming town with a beautiful church and some picturesque scenery. It's a welcome change of pace from the motel's sensory overload. I wander around, buy some souvenirs, and pretend to be a sophisticated traveler.
18:00 - Dinner in Canela (and the Quiet Reflection): I find a cozy restaurant with delicious food and a view of the church. I reflect on my day, my trip, and my life. This whole thing is… unexpected. And maybe a little bit healing.
20:00 - Back to the Motel (and the Unexpected Encounter): Back to the love nest. As I'm walking through the lobby, I see the gorgeous receptionist. She smiles. I smile back. We exchange a few words. It’s surprisingly… meaningful.
21:00 - The Heart-Shaped Bed (and the Decision to Live in the Moment): Back in the room. The disco ball is beckoning. The heart-shaped bed is calling. I decide to ditch the planning and the expectations and just… be. Whatever happens, happens.
23:00 - Sleep (or, the Sweet Surrender): The night ends. I drift off, exhausted but content. The sequined top remains unworn. The mangoes remain uneaten. And I have no idea what tomorrow will bring. And honestly? I don’t care.
Day 3: Departure (and the Lingering Afterglow)
09:00 - Wake Up (and the Subtle Regret): The sunlight streams in, and I'm… well-rested. A little. I'm not sure what happened last night, and I'm not sure I want to know. Let's just say it involved the disco ball. And possibly some questionable dance moves.
10:00 - Breakfast (and the Last Glimpse of the Magic): Room service, again. This time, I order a more substantial breakfast. As I'm checking out, I see the gorgeous receptionist. We exchange a lingering look. It's a moment.
11:00 - Check Out (and the Farewell): Check out is easy. The staff is friendly. I say goodbye to my love nest. It's a bittersweet moment.
12:00 - The Drive to Porto Alegre (and the Reality Check): Driving back to the airport, I feel a strange mix of sadness and elation. I'm leaving the bubble, but I'm also carrying something new with me. A newfound confidence. A slightly twisted sense of humor. And a lingering scent of… well, you get the idea.
14:00 - Departure from Porto Alegre (POA): As I board the plane, I smile. I did it. I survived. And I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. (Well, maybe for a slightly less heart-shaped bed.)
