Pousada Vila Do Mar

“A delightful and a comforting stay!”

My trip to Búzios was entirely impromptu and last-minute and I didn’t have much time to plan for it. I had to quickly decide a place to stay. As I was looking through the hotels in buzios, I thought it would be good idea to stay in Pousadas, since most of them I saw on the internet were so beautiful. I was confused but something about Pousada Vila do Mar caught my eye and I decided to go for it. The reviews helped me in my decision but I was still skeptical. I was glad that I took the right decision as I wasn’t disappointed at all when I finally arrived here. The place was beautiful, cozy, old fashioned, comforting, and on top of it, the people at the Pousada, the owner Mário José, the receptionist Márcia and the entire staff were incredibly vibrant, kind and warm hearted people I have ever met and this made my stay multiple folds better. The food was supremely divine and everything was fresh and delicious. The location is good, all the good restaurants, supermarkets, medical stores were at walking distance and very close to Búzios pier. I would still go back to this place whenever I am in Búzios.

“Great little hotel”

Wonderful little hotel in a great location where you can access central Búzios easily by foot. The decoration is terrific and the staff hospitality is amazing. Rooms were large and comfortable.

Wonderful little hotel in a great location where you can access central Búzios easily by foot. The decoration is terrific and the staff hospitality is amazing. Rooms were large and comfortable. Bathroom was ok, but old, shower heads need replacement, toiletries were average. That is the only reason I didn’t give it a higher rating. Breakfast was simple but really good, quality food. Will definitely return! Highly recommend a room with sea view- simply breathtaking!

“Very Convenient Location in the Heart of Buzios”

A very rustic hotel located less than a minute from the pier, water taxis, and the two main streets for shopping, booking tours and dining. Having visited Buzios multiple times, this was the first property where I was close enough to the key points of interest that I really did not need a car unless visiting the beaches on the opposite side of the peninsula. The room was spacious, had a view of the sea and excellent air conditioning. There was a comfortable queen-sized bed in the bedroom and two single sofa beds in the living room, each with both foam and down pillows. Other amenities included a flat screen TV, ceiling fan, a small refrigerator stocked with water, soda and beer for purchase, and a nook with a desk for working. The bathroom has an exceptionally large shower and good water pressure. The Wi-Fi worked fine for both cell phone and computer in most areas of the room. The roughhewn beams combined with this being an older structure provided the rustic look. Some items are worn, outdated or in need of repair, but overall, the room was quite comfortable. I found the décor and ambience pleasant, but if you are expecting a modern five-star hotel, you would be let down. If arriving from North America, be sure to carry several USA to Brazil/Europe plug adapters for your power cables. Starting as you pass through the gates at the entrance of the property you enter what is literally a garden of lush tropical plants. Picturesque cut stone steps lead up through the gardens to the reception area. Since the hotel is built on the side of a hill, there are quite a few steps to climb from street level up to the highest room locations. Limited mobility persons should be aware that there are no elevators and the ability to climb stairs is a must. The hotel staff were all very pleasant, professional, multilingual (at least English, Spanish, & Portuguese), and will help getting your luggage to and from your room. Welcome drink coupons were provided at check-in. Breakfast was included in the room price and was very enjoyable. Due to COVID, the hotel has implemented an early (7:30-9:00)) and late seating (9:00-10:30) to avoid crowding. Never were more than four tables occupied during our stay. I found nothing lacking as they brought to our table coffee, a variety of juices, fresh tropical fruits, different types of breads, eggs, pancakes, tapioca, ham, cheeses, pate, granola, yogurt, and condiments. All served at the tables located on a large second floor balcony. As you eat breakfast, all your senses are sated with the peaceful garden surroundings, views of the sea, a wonderful breeze, and pleasant background music. Each morning I was sorry to see breakfast come to an end. Finally, due to the location being near the shopping, restaurants and bars, at night you will hear music coming from some of the nearby restaurants and bars. It wasn't very loud, and I was able to sleep with no problem, but if you are a light sleeper or need complete silence to sleep I recommend using earplugs.

This very charming pousada is perfectly located right in the center and therefore close to everything. It is decorated simply but the patio and terrace a very charming with trees everywhere. We were a little bit disappointed with the standard of the room as they call all the rooms “suites” which can be a bit misleading as it generally entails bigger more luxury rooms. The room was cute but the sheets were old and had moule stains on them, could be refreshed to new ones. However the staff was lovely and very helpful in finding good restaurants, beaches etc. The pool is small but clean! Be aware that there is a lot of noise at night, we had a room with a road right behind it and no window so we could hear the cars passing by at night.
