Pousada Matahari

The breakfast was excellent. The pousada is right in the center of Arraial, near shops and restaurants. It’s a bit of a walk to the beach, but the walk is beautiful.

I left with a full heart and already can't wait to come back. Five stars barely cover how good my stay was. The inn has a lovely, cozy feel and such a nice energy, and its location made it easy to get everywhere on foot. Breakfast was delicious, and both cooks were so friendly. The other meals were just as tasty, with that homemade flavor, and very reasonably priced. Congratulations on doing such a wonderful job.

The outdoor area was pretty, and the inn is conveniently close to the town center. The staff were mostly lovely: the cooks who made breakfast served it with so much care, and the receptionist was polite and friendly. The rooms were another story. They were small and everything felt very old: the minibar was rusty, the bathroom sink handle was broken, and the air conditioning stopped working. There were so many letdowns that we couldn't wait to leave. They should put more into the rooms, since that's where guests spend most of their time. The owner was also quite arrogant in one situation. From other reviews I read, this wasn't the first time that had happened.

The location worked really well for getting around. There were lots of restaurants on the street, and Mucugê and Bróduei were close by. Parracho and Mucugê beaches were nearby too, and vans to the other beaches passed right along that road, so we could just wait out front. We loved our stay. The inn was well equipped, our room was good and everything was clean. The service was excellent, and the women serving breakfast were so sweet and attentive. They deserve all the best!
