Our stay was wonderful and the Easter chocolates for Easter Weekend was a nice personal touch. There were some minor issues (LED lightstrip behind headboard flashing constantly) that was immediately reported when we arrived and fixed within the same hour of our arrival. Staff was friendly and helpful, parking was safe (they park and bring out your vehicle when you need it). The only thing (but it wasn't a deal breaker) was the slight damp/mouldy smell in the room, but it's like that everywhere in the area due to the high moisture and humidity in the area. There are however some black mould spots that needs attention, just for the hotel to note - especially on the curtains and in the shower.
Our stay was comfortable and breakfast was good (nice variety daily). Just please note that they do charge ”tourist tax” which wasn't indicated on our booking, Trip.com and the Hotel is responsible to disclose this beforehand.
Well-located hotel right in front of Pontal Beach, just a 5-minute drive from the bus terminal and a 10-minute walk from Paraty's Old Town. The bed was quite small, and so was the room; however, the bathroom was spacious. The room includes a small fridge, and there's a vending machine at the reception if you need drinks. Overall, you get what you pay for.
Breakfast is served at a beach kiosk directly in front of the hotel. The same kiosk hosts live Brazilian music performances in the evenings, creating a cool and lively atmosphere.
The staff were very friendly, and boat tours can also be booked through the hotel.
The hostel is right by the sea, but the beach isn't really suitable for swimming due to the cleanliness of the water. To the historical city center it is under half an hour by foot. Here also the boat tours to better beaches depart. A small supermarket for the necessary conveniences is nearby.
The pool of the hostel is well maintained and a nice cool off for hot days. The rooms have a good size and are at a good price. The only thing that confused us was that we did not get new soap after 5 days we got by on very small soap bars.
Ibis budget. Não tem muita diferença para os outros ibis. Cama confortável, toilet separado do chuveiro, quarto sempre limpo. Tem um mini mercadinho na recepção, mas tudo absurdamente caro.
This time we were pleasantly surprised. It became cleaner, breakfasts became better (they added cheese and ham). Of the minuses: they removed the free welcome capirinha in the evening upon check-in. It used to be a good promotion.
