A estadia foi bem tranquila, o quarto era arrumado rapidamente, assim que saíamos para o café da manhã e quando retornávamos já estava tudo arrumado. A pousada é bem grande e com 3 piscinas sendo 2 delas aquecidas o que é maravilhosos. Além disso, uma das piscinas fica de frente para o bistrô da própria pousada que tem opções excelentes para você almoçar, jantar ou petiscar. Além dos drinks… Muito boa, recomendo!

Très bon séjour ! Vue magique de la chambre magique! 3 Piscines dont deux chauffées très agréables Petit déjeuner très correct et inclus. Très belle plage en bas de la rue. Centre ville à 30minutes à pieds. Je recommande!

Incrível

Pousada incrível! Quarto muito espaçoso, com uma vista maravilhosa da Praia de João Fernandes. Café da manhã completo, com opções feitas na hora, muito saboroso e variado. Localização excelente, poucos passos da praia, mas um pouco longe do centro. Os funcionários foram atenciosos e receptivos. A desvantagem foi não ter garagem e pagar rotativo durante todos os dias para deixar o carro na rua.

Muy bien

La posada es muy linda y el personal muy amable. El desayuno es bueno y la playa está a solo unos metros. A tener en cuenta que está ubicado en una zona con pocos servicios, pero el centro queda a 20 minutos caminando. Mi habitación en particular, tenía bastante humedad, pero el resto todo OK.

Lugar muito bom, bonito, atendimento dos funcionários impecáveis. Unicos pontos negativos são a falta de um estacionamento, visto que na rua paga para deixar o carro, e as escadas que seriam um impecilho em questões de acessibilidade

Paraíso em João Fernandes

Foi maravilhoso! Consegui um ótimo quarto, com uma vista sensacional! Coisa de filme! Em todos os hotéis, eu facilmente coloco este no meu TOP 3 de melhores lugares para se hospedar. Atendimento sensacional, simpáticos. Pousada com uma estrutura ótima (melhor se tivesse estacionamento). Só tenho elogios. Quarto maravilhoso, com serviço eficiente de limpeza, ótima sensação de segurança, boas comodidades, ambiente incrivelmente agradável. As piscinas aquecidas são sensacionais. Se precisar de um ponto negativo, é a piscina "fria" que parecia não ter muita atenção na limpeza, mas ninguém usava ela. As demais piscinas, impecáveis. Não tenho o que reclamar da estádia, pois parecia um sonho. Recomendo demais! O por do sol é lindo demais para acompanhar!

Infelizmente deixou a desejar muito! passei calor

A localização é muito boa, piscina com uma vista linda, piscina climatizada! Restaurante abriu 14:30 achei bem ruim o horário! Faltou luz no bairro, o hotel ficou sem energia pois não tinha gerador, passei a noite toda sem luz minha saída era às 11:00 e sem luz, nenhuma satisfação! O café da manhã razoável, não tinha muita opção!

Normal

Pontos positivos : vista para a praia de João Fernandes , 2 piscinas aquecidas mas somente uma tava aquecida legal , preço justo e mt perto da praia, ótimo restaurante para jantar em casal, apesar do Check out cedo deixaram usar a dependência da piscina para tirar a areia do corpo. Pontos negativos : não tem estacionamento , mt escada ( não tive problema mas quem for com idosos ou alguma pessoa com deficiência complica ) café da manhã com pouca variedade ( não tinha banana , algo que considero básico ) o Check out é as 11 horas muito cedo pra você curtir o último dia na praia.

Good but not awesome

The pousada is nice but not as you see in the pictures. Our room was at the top and there is a long way up, with low light at night The breakfast was ok, nothing special. It’s one block and a half to the beach, they change the pool towels only every 2 days. The curtains doesn’t cover completely so you get light early. The bed mattress for the small bed had a bump very uncomfortable, and the bed sheets low quality. Front desk people were kind and helpful

2/10 Poor

Gato por Lebre

Decepcionante pois o que foi mostrado na internet não correspondeu ao nos hospedar, quartos muito pequenos com mobiliários velhos e mal conservados, isto na categoria luxo, sem estacionamento sendo necessário deixar o carro na rua e tendo que pagar R$ 50,00 sem nenhuma segurança. O café da manhã razoável porém iniciando muito tarde( 8hs). A localização da pousada em relação à praia é boa.

Muito bom a limpeza dos quartos e ambientes da piscinas. Localização boa, fica de frente a Praia João Fernandes e 8 minutos de carro da rua das pedras, local para de noite curtir os diversificados restaurantes que tem. Indico a pousada.

8/10 Very good

Gostei ,mas não me hospedaria novamente.

Um pouco decepcionada, para começar a pousada não tem estacionamento o que te obriga a parar o carro na rua e ainda pagar 70 reais de diária pra poder deixar ele parado na rua. Café da manhã muito fraco com pouquissimas opções, piscinas sujas. Em nenhum momento vi alguem limpando as piscinas. Fiquei triste com esses pontos. De 1 a 10 daria nota 7.

Pousada necessitando de manutenção.

A pousada está precisando de manutenção em alguns itens. Um dos colchões do quarto estava com a mola de ferro para fora do colchão. A pia do banheiro estava com vazamento molhando o chão. A chave da porta do quarto estava torta e não girava com facilidade. O serviço terceirizado de refeições funciona bem com pratos servidos no almoço de boa qualidade. Funcionários da recepção bastante solícitos.

Desde Argentina lo recomendamos.

Es un lugar muy recomendable por su ubicación es excelente a media cuadra de la playa la posada cuenta con una vista increíble, además cuenta con 3 piletas y un restaurante impecable. Las habitaciones amplias cómodas el jacuzzi hermoso. La recepción de Leonel es gratificante su predisposición como así también de todo el personal en ocuparse y estar atentos a los mínimos detalles. También quiero destacar a Mariana por su amabilidad y respeto. Sin más palabras recomiendo ese lugar. Vayan a conocerlo.
