Review for our stays in July 2019 for a family of 4, two teens. For our family, we wanted to stat with a nice location, not too far from the important sites (the beach, duna do por do sol, restaurants), where there are enough space for a family of 4 to stay together (and not having to book 2 rooms and have the family separated). And with some full service hotel pampering. We booked via bookings.com, which seems to be the engine to do bookings in Brazil. The engine will provide you with various possible arrangements and the quote. We were monitoring this property for weeks until this suite became available. It's very comfortable, AC works well, both in the living room and bedroom, and it had a kitchen. We had two bathrooms, a plus when you have teens. In high season, the cost was about $200 per day, which is expensive considering Jericoacoara, but on par of full service luxury apart hotels right on the beach. The hotel is beautifully landscaped, and breakfast is right on the beach. The hotel has a restaurant where they serve full buffet breakfast (included on our rates). You can ask the waiter and order items from the kitchen, they are included, including eggs, omelettes, and the tapioca pancake, which I think you should try. The breakfast is really good, with a great variety of breads, fruits, cakes and the ubiquitous pao de queijo (a kind of tapioca starch bread with cheese). The hotel will arrange tours for you, and put you in touch with "bugueiros" (buggy drivers who will take you to tours). Most of the bugueiros will charge about the same, and will probably offer you the same routes (typically, a "west route" and a "east route"). To have expectations right, this is not a full size Caribbean resort, but is neither a pousada. It feels more like a boutique hotel but with one bedroom apartments offerings. As of 2019, the property looks pretty new, and I was told it was built very recently. We loved the location. It's on the stretch of beach near the main street and hence very close to the duna do por do sol, where we head for our daily pilgrimage at sunset time. A lot of the good restaurants right next door. It is located one street south of the main, so it is close to the action, but slightly quieter. We haven't had any issues with noise at night at sleeping time. All in all, a great stay in Jericoacoara. For me, worth the spurge.
