Pousada dos Gravatás

It's a great spot to relax and sunbathe, with direct access to the beach. The terrace deck is nicely designed, with both natural and artificial shade. The swimming pool is ready for adults and kids, and everything is neat and clean. The drinks are well made, and the restaurant food is delicious. The rooms are good, though the pillows could use a review and the toilet drains very slowly. It's wheelchair accessible.

The included lunch was surprisingly good and served until 5 in the afternoon, which works well if you're at the beach all day. The location is terrific, right by the beach. Staff were helpful throughout our stay and even offered a late checkout at no extra cost while we relaxed by the hotel pool. The rooms are only so-so, but still worth it.

Geribá is a marvelous beach, and we should look after it for the future and for our kids. The water is still cool and lovely, but the tide can be dangerous. Thankfully there are plenty of safeguards and rescue services now. For younger visitors, take it easy with the beer, it's hot and you'll get thirsty, and the nights go on late at this resort. Beer is very expensive here these days, and in Rio too. I moved to the countryside, where it's cold and things are cheaper, though people complain a lot about staple prices. This is the best spot in Búzios, Geribá, and Brazil, in my view. I've always admired it and used to hang out and stay at my favorite place on the sunny beach. It was less crowded in my time, though we did have crowds. People were coming here for more than thirty years, but many quickly moved on. In summer and on holidays there were only a few, and this small city kept its nature and quiet. Just to be clear, I never stayed at this hotel. I live nearby and came to this beach every day, so I'm sharing my experience of the famous hotels and rooms in town. You can come and relax, the kids won't bother you, they're busy with their own weekends and hanging out at your spot. I think Búzios stays free. Just passing through here one more time to say hello to everyone. So long.

The breakfast and lunch area has great food and staff. The location is the best part, right on the beach. Bar service is very basic, and with a group of more than four, you'll probably receive something different from what you ordered.
