“Beautiful Hotel”

Beautiful hotel in the perfect location. People there were super friendly and very helpful with suggestions about things to do there. The hotel is not a modern building, it’s old and beautiful but the rooms were great. We were a family of seven staying there and everything was great.

“Cosy and comfortable rooms”

Rooms are clean and comfortable and the hotel is in a good location, walking distance to many restaurants in the area.

Rooms are clean and comfortable and the hotel is in a good location, walking distance to many restaurants in the area. The breakfast is basic and they also offer some cake, biscuits and hot drinks for an afternoon tea time. Staff are friendly but I did not come across anyone who spoke English well. So if you are someone that requires help (and do not speak Portuguese) or has many questions on what to do / see, you should do your own research online or find a hotel that is recommended for help in planning day trips, etc. For me it was fine as I was able to plan my days doing my own online research.

This pousada is in a great location a few steps from the historical center of Paraty. Our taxi was able to pass in front of the pousada which was helpful when we arrived late in the evening with our bags (most of the historical center is not accessible by car). The front desk attendant was very confused when we arrived, even though I had alerted the pousada to our evening arrival. He eventually figured it out and led us to our rooms. Both rooms were nice with fans and ample space. It’s a historic building so there is a lot of charm but one window was cracked and there are no screens on the windows so misquotes got in at night. Breakfast was a standard spread, lots of fruit, sliced meats, cheese and breads. The granola was beyond stale however, and I didn’t try the other cereals but they all looked like they’d been there for a while. I asked the front desk for help booking a boat tour and they were very nice and told us that they’d call and confirm a tour for us. When we turned after a day out, the front desk attendant had no idea about our previous boat tour request but told me that he’d confirm the trip that evening. The next day when we were hoping to take the tour we found out that the tour company was on holiday and was unable to take us. We scrambled and figured something else out to do that day, but it would have been nice if there was better communication among the front desk attendants as well as with the vendors who’s services they sell. Other than those hiccups, our stay good and we enjoyed Paraty and the neighboring beaches very much.
