Hotéis em Ipojuca

Prós: Service

Contras: Price

Prós: The staff was extremely professional and constantly making sure you were having an excellent time during your stay.

Contras: More hotel tour options would have helped plan and see more tourist attractions and beaches.

Prós: Awesome location, awesome staff, great apartment, great food (the tea at 5 pm is a must!!). Romantic, beautiful, great weather. We look forward to coming back!

Contras: Internet in apartment is slow, and the cable tv doesn’t have the capability of pressing a button on the remote to listen to movies/tv in English (the original language of those shows. Lots and lots of channels with only dubbed programming)

Prós: The pools, the chairs around, the gym and the spa

Contras: We were expecting better food

Prós: Everything was great apart from a minor issue.

Contras: If it wasn’t for the amount of mosquitoes at our villa it would’ve been perfect. Something should be used or else is impossible to use the private pool area.

Prós: Everything!

Contras: Nothing!

Prós: Fantastic location and facilities.

Contras: English speaking is a bit of barrier but not a huge issue.

Prós: This is the best hotel and the best experience that we had ever had! The place is gorgeous, the staff is amazing and everything amazed us. We totally recommend the Nannai, it can be a little bit expensive but totally worth it!

Prós: The staff was very nice, and we allways had activities (tennis, golf, bingo) to do in the afternoon. It was nice spending the day by the beach doing water sports (stand up paddle board, kayaking, snorkling) and tanning.

Contras: There was nothing I didn't like. I thought maybe the area around the hotel was going to be a little bit nicer to go on a run or something, but they told me it wasn't the best idea so i went to the Gym (very nice) instead.

Prós: Everything is "top" : location, facilities, staff... Also very good for casual bird spotting.

Prós: It is really close to the beach and the main square of the village. The people working there are absolutely lovely, very very friendly. If was my second time there and it did not disappoint me. I definitely will stay there again.

Contras: Great breakfast, including the amazing tapioca. Staff was really friendly and location could not be better, as it is 3 minutes walking from the beach and the natural pools.

Prós: Staff wasn wonderful, property is very clean, breakfast was amazing and location unbeatable, the owner of the property is a German guy and a Brazilian woman, Inmet the guy and we talked he was very helpful and even let is stay in the room a couple of hours after check out since our flight was only at 5pm. Air conditioning worked perfetly and shower was very good. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone.

Contras: I wish there were a second set of towel in the room, and also that there were a laundry service.

Prós: Nothing

Contras: Placa, street not good to drive. Neighborhood not good. has some mosquitoes.

Prós: Quarto limpo, funcionários atenciosos, no centro de Porto de Galinhas o que evita ter que se deslocar de carro. Os proprietários estão sempre por perto a fim de garantir a satisfação do hóspede.

Contras: nothing

Prós: Very comfortable, tidy , very nice decoration.

Contras: The street is a little messy.

Prós: Everything was tide, clean and comfortable

Prós: Breakfast was definitely the highlight. Every day was amazing, with the icong of the cake for the escondidinho de frango. It was amazing. Location is really great, close the beach and still not noisy.

Prós: Activities for kids and recreation staff in general

Contras: Beach is terribly dangerous with huge waves It is not possible for kids even to touch the water!! Rooms are comfortable but just one on top of another with lots of noises and no personal space (typical of Brazil) Breakfast is POOR for Brazilian standards. Juices were undrinkable and not natural. Only good was tapioca lady with best attitude and coconut / caramel tapioca. Value was bad for the amount we paid!!

Prós: It s close to the beach and the town. The breakfast and dinner are nice.

Contras: Food is too expensive. Some people who work there are not that friendly. My room was too noisy.

Prós: Location

Contras: AC

Contras: Too many kids. Too noisy at all times. In particular, during breakfast and dinner the noise was quite something. I had been there before and it was much better. It seems that this hotel became a place for families in the last years.

Prós: I already travelled the 6 continents, and you will not find anything on that quality without spend a lot more money. Great cost for benefit. very clean and confortable place with good internet and amazing regional breakfast. I highly recomend and would stay again for sure!

Prós: I like everything, really everything perfect

Contras: Nothing to worry about. Everything perfect

Prós: The room was very good and confort.

Contras: Breakfast could be better, especially the cakes. The hot tube lacks maintenance.

Prós: Great location and service

Contras: A bit pricy.. but provably because it is carnaval

Prós: The staff was really nice, did a great support, the breakfast was really good.

Contras: The jacuzzi wasn’t working but wasn’t so bad.

Prós: Hotel is good clean, little away from beach, everyone was very attentive.

Contras: No availability of shops, taxi, no balcony, no place to dry your cloths.

Prós: Great place to enjoy some of the beautiful beaches of the area. Rooms are clean and the staff makes you really feel like at home, especially Meli, who gave us the right suggestions always with a sincere smile. Definitely, I reccomend this pousada.

Contras: I dont recommend the parking situation in front of the Pousada during rushhour from Praia/ Pontal de Maracaípe to Porto de Galinhas. A motociclo hite our car. Better use the small road beside the Pousada.

Prós: We stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment, it was great! The rooms are very clean and beds really comfy. Nice clean sheets and they even leave flowers decorating your bed.. How sweet!!! There were different pillows and all very comfortable. All the staff were really friendly. Cleide was at the reception when we arrived, she was extremely helpful! The staff in the morning when we had breakfast were also really lovely, one of the ladies saw we were a large group coming and already set up a table for us to sit together! Breakfast itself was very nice, lots of local dishes: mandioca, cuscus, banana da terra and freshly made tapiocas, plus lots of fruits, breads (which I think were homemade), cakes and cereals. We used the jacuzzi at night time, they have a booking system so it doesn’t get overcrowded, great idea! The jaccuzzi itself was nice (maybe not as many bubbles as you would expect, but it was an added bonus) and being on the rooftop we had a great time looking at the stars!! We were all very impressed with the whole service! Thanks to all the team! Definitely great value for money!

Contras: We liked everything!

Prós: Breakfast: good, many options. Fresh made tapiocas available. Bed and pillows: comfortable Room is clean, staffing is friendly. I would recommend this place.

Contras: No parking slot. But available slots in front of the place. So there was no trouble to park there.

Prós: The room and toilet were quite clean. The bed was comfy. The balcony had an amazing view from the third floor. The location was good for my needs. The beach in front of the hotel was wonderful. The staff were super nice. They speak a little english, so you need a translator to communicate properly but they were very friendly and helpful.

Contras: Nothing. All good.

Prós: The property is very clean and modern. It had lots or facilities and the breakfast was really nice, with lots of healthy options

Contras: It wasnt in the center of Porto de Galinhas, so we had to get an Uber to get there

Prós: The people were super kind and helpful. We enjoyed the small pieces from the kitchen, they went from table to table with a little plate, during the breakfast very much. The tea time was amazing! Great idea and great cake and tea. Amazing view for the ocean.

Contras: For the price of the room the shampoo could be better and a good brand. The bed was good but for some reason I didn’t sleep very well.

Prós: The view and the staff, perfect

Prós: Excellent ocean view from the room. Nice sun beds and service.

Contras: It's a bit far from Porto if you want to spend long days in the hotel and then all evenings in the town. though taxi and uber are all around

Prós: Breakfast was excellent. Lots of fruits, good assortment of bread and delicious omelets and tapiocas prepared on request. Room was very comfortable, with a beautiful beach view and a large bed. Besides, the hotel has all the infrastructure for guests to enjoy the beach. 24h reception and parking available are definitely a plus.

Contras: Not much... I guess the service at the pool could have been a bit more attentive and fast. Lunch took a considerable amount of time to arrive when we decided to have it at the hotel. But I guess that's about it.

Prós: Great room with nice decorations. Very quite. Breakfast. Wifi even on the beach.

Contras: Very small fitness

Prós: Everything! The best place I ever stayed

Prós: Second visit to this hotel and always wonderful. Just incredible to have an adult only policy which really makes the difference. Excellent bar and pool menu and superb prices - no being ripped off! Alexandre and Ed were excellent and very professional.

Contras: There is nothing not to like!

Prós: Friendly staff. Great breakfast. Relaxing place

Prós: Location

Contras: Breakfast

Prós: The pousada’s staff is wonderful and very good breakfast .

Prós: Recommended! Very nice and clean place just 5 minutes walk from the beach. The owners are really cool people and the pousada has a very relaxed vibe.

Contras: Minor thing, but the breakfast lacked healthy options such as fresh vegetables. It was mostly comprised of sweet stuff so not ideal for super healthy people.

Contras: A praia, a comida.

Prós: Staff, facilities, location

Contras: Room too old, small.

Prós: Our stay was wonderful, all the staff were very attentive and the food was great, the pools are wonderful with recreational activities. We high recommend.

Prós: Cool activities being organized in the resort. The staff does their best to make you happy.

Contras: Horrible breakfast. Every day the same. At dinner veggies not fresh. No taste. Seems like food was frozen and reheated multiple times.

Prós: I loved the pool area and the food was amazing. The staff was also very friendly and always ready to help.

Contras: Some areas were under maintenance and renovation, and the bars were open until 6pm.

Prós: Everything was perfect!

Contras: Food is good but could be a little better considering it is a 5 star hotel.

Prós: Staff was very friendly and my family is very grateful for the nice dinner (from Quebra-mar restaurant) offered in the balcony of the main restaurant, where we could have our daughter with us.

Contras: I was expecting much more from the baby room with more options and more sophisticated toys. Items (beers and dishes) in the bars’ menu were not available.

Prós: The property is extremely well cared ... it's not a new or boutique building, but everything is in perfect state.

Contras: the useable beach isn't in front of the property... 5 minutes walking

Prós: Management went out of the way to make us fell confortable even providing a microwave for our bungalow! (2 young doughthers)

Contras: Could improve a little bit in the cousine

Prós: kindness os staff RP Marco helped a lot

Contras: maintenance, food, bed, bed linen, furniture, amenities, smell of the rooms

Prós: Great location

Contras: Food could be better.

Prós: We are very happy with Walter , THE OWNER AND THEIR EMPLOYEES, EXCELLENT

Prós: Staff was very friendly. Breakfasts were superb. We enjoyed the fresh fruit and fried bananas very much. We had a clothes drying rack in our room which was really useful.

Contras: Sometimes our bed was made without a top sheet. This may have been a confusion between what we are used to and how they do it in Brazil. Not a big issue.

Prós: They provided in the room a clothes hanger, walking distance from the city center, the provide coffee during the afternoon, and the staff gave some great tips for sightseeing and restaurant.

Contras: Shower is not the greatest. And the parking availability is for 2 cars, luckily it was not high season and we could park inside.

Prós: fantastic staff. Always ready to assist in any request. We were with our 1.5 yo son who loved the kids pool, the little playground area, and the waves. It would be nice if there was some natural pools like at the beach downtown, but we wouldn't have enjoyed as much if the beach was that busy. It was a great and positive surprise. Loved! Wished we could have stayed for longer.

Prós: Location and confort

Contras: I'm don't have any reclaims

Prós: The staff were excellent!

Prós: The location is perfect, the beach is beautiful and the property is very nice and clean!!!

Prós: Clean, friendly people, great pool, big breakfast, and awesome location right in front of the beach.

Contras: Nothing! Everything was perfect.

Prós: The staff was super kind and the proximity to the beach.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Location, staff, everything. Very clean, nice location.

Prós: Excellent breakfast, decent restaurant, decent location. According to the life guards patrolling the beach, the sea has a dangerous spot right in front of the hotel, but walk 50 m to either side, it is OK to go deeper, so no big deal.

Contras: Cockroaches. Big ones. And small ones. In two days, four small ones and two big ones in our room, the other of which bit me in the hand during the night, giving me one of the most unpleasant awakenings ever. Actually first I thought it was a small mouse until I managed to hunt it down. When complaining about the clearly inadequate fumigation, the front desk reply was pretty much "meh, there's an empty lot next to us". Should be easy to fumigate then? During my visits to 50 countries and some 300+ hotels, I have never seen as many cockroaches in such a short period. Apart from this major issue, the place, amenities and location were fine. Maybe a room on a higher floor (ours was first) might be just fine. Oh, and the rooms have digital safes, but they are not bolted on. You could just put it in your bag and walk out and deal with the contents later.

Prós: Close to the beach, friendly staff

Contras: Not too close to downtown Porto de Galinhas

Prós: Staff nice, view lovely.

Contras: Room basic, no soft lighting, safe deposit extra, hair dryer you have to ask for, one bin, no WiFi working in room. No yogurt at breakfast.

Prós: Location is awesome. The staff is really friendly. The reception offered us a free breakfast while we were waiting for our check in at 2pm. The place is really cute and calm. The hotel offers beach towels and umbrellas.

Contras: I got a pair of shorts damage because of bleach they use to clean the bathroom. Also me and my husband got food poison after eating a fish in the hotel restaurant besides that we really enjoyed our time in the place

Prós: Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Contras: Hotel is in need of renovation. Bathroom door would not close properly, bathroom window needs repair and painting. Shower box tile grouting needs cleaning, The real rating for this hotel should be two or three stars. I guess being beach front counts positively.

Prós: Great location, very friendly staff, nice facility and very spacious

Contras: The room was relatively small

Prós: Beautiful property on Maracaipe beach. Right on the ocean front, with a vast green space with palm trees in front of the bungalows. There is beach furniture and hammocks available for all guests. The breakfast is phenomenal.

Contras: The wi-fi in the property hardly ever worked.

Prós: The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful, providing umbrellas for unexpected rain showers and even towels for the beach inside and outside the property. Furthermore the Breakfast was very well displayed, with a large variety of food and drinks and combined with the breath taking view from the establishment simply the paradise vacation experience one is looking for. The swimming pool(s) and the beach are very clean and provide many seating opportunities, from hammocks, chairs and rain shelters everything was available. The rooms are bright and the sound of the waves during the night is an additional experience for itself. The cleaning service was perfect and the cleaning staff very helpful, going out of their way to help us blowing up 2 water unicorns before we passed out trying to do it manually. Overall I can highly recommend the place and would easily rate it with 9.5 / 10.

Contras: Nothing.

Prós: Only the garden

Contras: left the place 3 days before the end of my booking , old cottage in bad condition , crack in the wall behind tv , licking from ceiling , filters of air condition outside the cottage disgusting , garbage bin not empty for 3 days , towel never change in 3 days , WiFi only in common area witch one , come on time to upgrade , tv channel forget about , breakfast American style every morning , very cheap place for the money spent , experience to forget soon , far way from Porto galinhas , they said 2,5 km ...are about 6 km , fortunately I have rent a car. Sorry but I travel a lots for business and leisure and this place doesn’t value for money requested .

Prós: Lovely view of the sea and direct access to beach. Car highly recommended.

Contras: Restaurant food not great, wifi unreliable

Prós: Great staff (especially Vanessa in the restaurant), superb breakfast, beautiful view on the ocean from the bungalow and a lovely pool. Cant think of anything negative. Would have loved to stay longer.

Contras: -

Prós: We had an amazing week here with our 5yo and 2yo daughters. This is a beautiful and quiet little resort, directly at the beach, that has everything you need to have a wonderful and relaxing time. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The restaurant serves good food that has a home-made feel to it (the fish stew / moqueca was one of our favourites). Accomodation is simple but clean and comfortable. The swimming pool is great for when the sea gets a bit too rough. We enjoyed chilling out in the hammocks between the coconut trees that line the beach. For those looking to get a bit more active you can rent surfboards a few steps down the beach. We absolutely loved this place, highly recommend! Would love to come back some time.

Contras: We stayed both in the farmhouse as well as the two-bedroom bungalow. Unlike the bungalow which is beautifully decorated, the farmhouse felt a little underwhelming at first and perhaps could do with a bit of renovation to get the extra wow factor. There are street dogs visiting the resort every now and then. Although they are friendly they scared our little girls on a few occasions.

Prós: PRISCILLA IN THE RESTAURANT IS HOTEL SOLAR She is MAGIC with a smile on her face she would make any guest feel at ease and the service and attention she gives is out of the world. The reception staff DANIEL and Leonitlo were excellent I would highly recommend this resort to anyone.

Prós: Actually I booked the hotel for my mother and brother. From the feedback everything was perfect. Staff. Breakfast. Comfortable room. Access to the beach. Very clean they loved. I’m very happy to choose the hotel and make my mom and brother have a nice holiday.

Contras: As they said it’s not much to tell bad about the hotel. They liked everything just a small point was the restaurant was a bit expensive but this is not a big deal.

Prós: Magnificent property, superb staff and an excellent location make this a gem in Porto de Galinhas!

Contras: Could not stay longer enough.

Prós: everything was great, wi-fi switched off every now and then but was fine for work e-mails etc

Contras: Could have done with more international food items for breakfast and dinner,

Prós: I loved this hotel, it's pretty confortable and has a warm atmosphere to visit with family. The hotel staff is amazing and always willing to help. The hotel was really clean, the food was pretty tasty and the music show each night are very varied and entertaining.

Contras: The wifi signal does not work properly and it was an issue on some days that I needed to work remotely. I would appreciate a higher variety on the food menu for dinner each night.

Prós: The proprety is clean, and the location is very nice. The staf was wekcoming and everything was just fine. The atmosphere was exceptionnally relaxing.

Contras: Relaxing atmosphere, good food.

Prós: Friendly staff, spotless clean, great WiFi connection.

Prós: On an excellent beach with clean warm sea. Staff very helpful and approachable. Excellent breakfast and a clean and comfortable room. Nice garden with seating and views of the beach. Everything was immaculate. Secure parking on site.

Contras: The village is short of good restaurants.

Prós: Breakfast was great. Staff was very welcoming.

Contras: There was a lot of plastic at the beach. It would be fantastic if some of the pousadas could put up some bins.

Prós: Beautiful gem, clean and with excellent staff. We'll definitely go back.

Prós: Breakfast was great but other meals were just okay because Serrambi only has 3 "restaurants" but one closed at noon and the other, Barretos, had a limited menu although the food was great and they delivered for free! I had to go to Porto de Galinhas (15 min by car) often to have a nice meal.

Contras: I had a rental car which made it very easy to explore the area and get meals. I would not recommend staying at this Pousada without a car. I must say that the roads to Serrambi are awful, full of potholes and no light at all at night making it dangerous to drive at night. The location is superb if you want peace and quiet, a deserted beach and relative good swimming. I had to walk about a kilometer towards Maracaipe Beach to find a perfect swimming spot that was safe and clean. I loved the location because I love walking on the beach and I felt super safe and peaceful. I was there in August which is the super low season and also winter which is windy and rainy. Summer is another beach altogether!

Prós: The place to be - we will come back for sure!

Prós: Carlos is an excellent host. He strives to make you feel comfortable and welcome.

Contras: Wifi was spotty in bedroom, but worked well by the swimming pool.

Prós: Amazing breakfast and amazingly cheerful staff

Contras: Personal possessions stolen from our room. Tablet computer stolen off the table in our room while we were having lunch in the hotel restaurant. The door was locked when we left and the door was locked when we came back two hours later.

Prós: Everything! The pousada is beautiful with an access to the beach, the rooms are well equipped, with a nice view of the ocean. The breakfast is very good and diversed. Staff are very nice! I did a great massage in a beautiful room in the pousada, with Diana who was very professional. The pousada is 7 minutes driving from the center, and it is a great thing that make you feel much more relaxed and private!

Prós: Excellent ,courtious,helpful staff , great location

Contras: Larger spread of breakfast

Prós: Great Food with Amazing View!

Prós: On the beach, with lots of room to relax and suntan. Good breakfast. Great balcony with hammock.

Contras: Staff doesn't really speak English, so not always welcoming and helpful. Bathroom a bit basic, toilet flushing was terribly weak. Rough sea, not a spot for swimming and a bit noisy at night (but who doesn't want to fall asleep listening to the waves?)

Prós: the food was very good

Contras: I like all

Prós: Nice location. Away from the crowd, but still very accessible to town center (25 minutes on foot, or taxi or Uber). All the rooms have sea view. (Really right on the beach). This pousada targets matured couples. No kid running around in the property. Great breakfast with menu varies every day. Freshly baked chicken pie and pão de queijo. Restaurant of this pousada is well run. Nice choice of regional seafood and meat dishes of northeastern Brazil. (We did not tried the international dishes like spaghetti bolognese) We enjoyed the lunches and dinners which we strongly believe much well prepared than those restaurants in the town center. In addition, very nice caipirinha com frutas (both maracujá and abacaxi are great). Wine menu is very limited but you an bring your wine with a very reasonable corkage fee (BRL30?) Winter is cool enough at night to enjoy wine. Finally, we were able to arrange local tour via this pousada. We were very happy that we did not go to the piscina natural at the town center but arranged a local tour to praia de carneiros. Nice recommendation from this pousada on local tour operator.

Contras: Nothing we did not like. It will be great if hot water is more easily available for clients who want to prepare chimarrão or other types of tea themselves. By the way, coffee in pot is freely available by this pousada which is so nice for us who have been living in Brazil for quite some time)

Contras: No English spoken.

Prós: Clean, all rooms offer a beautiful sea view, great breakfast, friendly staff. It’s not close to the village, but it’s a 25 minute walk if you enjoy some walk along the beach and 5 minute car ride. They have a small pool area and a beautiful garden. It’s a three story building so if you have mobility problems, you should ask for a room at the first floor to avoid the steps.

Prós: The people are very friendly and always there to help. The silence, no loud music, not so much people around on the beach and everything very clean.

Contras: The time to check in and out. 14pm to check in is late because normally we arrived early and has to wait. And the time to leave, is to early, we can not enjoy the day. Could be after lunch.

Prós: The amazing view and the facilities around the rooms. Including the performance on the Saturday evening

Contras: Minor complaint the sink in the bathroom was cracked but functions just as good. Just didn’t look good. But very minor issue compared to everything else

Prós: Everything was great... Better than I expected

Contras: Nothing

Prós: The place is perfect for who are willing for peaceful and laziness with a beautiful beach view! The food served at the restaurant property is pretty tasty and with a great value for money!

Contras: Nothing to complain!

Contras: The receptionist was very rude and the staff in general very distracted

Prós: The location of the place and the place itself are really nice

Contras: The management doesn`t care for the requirements of rest and calm of their guests. Example: When we arrived on 22nd Dec.17 there was an extremely noisy construction under way, right along the beachfront of the hotel-garden (a wooden terrace was built).It continued until 26nd. Exception? Not at all. In Dec.15 we had exactly the same construction noise around the swimmingpool -area before and after Christmas. Very unprofessional and ruthless.

Prós: The bed and the pillow were very comfortable. The room is very spacious The public area of the pousada is very well kept and full of art and good vibes which is very beautiful

Contras: The bathroom in the room really needs some renovation... The service and the breakfast are ok but there is space to improve

Prós: Friendly environment, professional costumer service, delicious breakfast

Contras: I notice the uniform of the girls are made out of corduroy velour, it’s extremely hot weather for them to wear it working as hard as they do during the day

Prós: Wonderful spot just in front of the ocean, 1h walk from Porto de Galinhas with a beautiful walk.

Prós: Nice spot to relax a few days.

Contras: On high tide the beach can‘t be used as the water breakes directly on the concrete blocks in front of the pousda. Also we had surf shorts stolen from our terrace during one night.

Prós: Our stay was perfect, exactly what we needed to rest and enjoy our holiday. The staff gets an extra star, all of them friendly, smiling all the time and giving us a warm feeling of being welcome. The owner was there most of the time, also very kind and friendly. Recepcionists were also very helpful, giving suggestions of things to do around Maracaípe and Anne even drove me to the doctors one day I was not feeling well. The day we left we knew we are definitely coming back to Brisas as soon as we can! Thank you all!

Contras: Nothing to complain! It was perfect!

Contras: Wi-Fi connection could be better Wi-Fi poderia ser melhor.

Prós: Awesome location right next to the sea and away from the crowd at Porto de galinhas.

Prós: Nice beach for learning surfing (for both children and adults). Good restaurant in front of the beach.

Contras: Not much in walking distance - you should have a car if you stay there.

Prós: Great place. The room was close to the restaurant and swimming pool. The beach was really close too. You can enjoy a relaxing time while having breakfast. Overall, it was what we were looking for. We would come again!

Contras: Nice food at the restaurant, but the service was a little bit slow for the small number of people using the bar. Also, they charge the service fee.

Prós: Beautiful Pousada, spacious and clean, funky coloured decor around the grounds with hammocks and gardens to enjoy. Pousada relaxed vibe with a more expansive hotel gardens feel (ie you have your own space) when you get shown to your room. Pleasant staff and service generally very quick. Clean simple rooms with cute little wooden keys and door signs; lots of nice details everywhere. Lovely restaurant area with generous breakfast (6:30-10am). Some provision at meal times for veggies (around the same as most places in Brazil!). Right on the beach with palm trees and clean sand right on the doorstep via a short ramp. Less than 10 mins in a taxi from the main stretch of Porto de Galinhas, which was great as our Pousada felt tucked away and quiet whilst knowing we were near enough to other things going on when we wanted to be busier. The bar and restaurant are open til 8pm. We timed our visit accidentally just right to catch the best dates for when the tide is just right to see the Piscinas Naturais around a 10 minute walk out to see along the sea (Little Rock pools with fishies and crabs, and we even saw an eel in one of the bigger pools!). Tip - take some flip flops or wet shoes for this as it’s a bit too rocky in parts to enjoy clambering over! It’s flat but uneven. That same evening we caught a trip a few minutes walk away from the hostel on a Jangada (little raft boat) to see the sunset and watch our guide gently scoop up some seahorses in a jar to show us before putting them back amongst the reeds (RS30 each for the mini trip which lasted just under an hour and so worth it). We stayed for 3 nights at the end of a 5 week stay in Recife for Carnival, and it was the perfect post-madness break haha! We got a bus there from Cais de Santa Rita bus terminal in Recife for around RS11 each, and it took 2.5 hours to get to Maracaípe. It was good value for money but not super cheap, but well worth what we paid. Obrigada!

Contras: When the sun goes in, watch out for mosquitos in the gardens and around the sand/sun beds as we got eaten alive (none all day though, and mossie attack at night is common anywhere!). Around the bar area at night it was much better. Bar area only open until 8pm, but ideal if you plan to go into Porto de Galinhas or chill in your room at night (the minibar is the same price as the bar so you’ve always got a few beers handy in the fridge) for when the bar is closed. If you’re a party animal, this maybe isn’t the place for you, but if you’re happy to chill in the daytime and enjoy the beach on the doorstep, the gardens and bar, and the little pool, you can always head into the more touristy Porto de Galinhas at night for a much busier scene (which we actually didn’t enjoy as much as the calmness of the pousada haha). It took staff a little while to reply when our card payment didn’t work first time, but they were super helpful when they did get back to us.
