Pousada Rota do Sol Bombinhas

The room was comfortable and the staff were friendly, and I especially enjoyed the excellent breakfast. But we couldn’t use the beach chairs because they were all broken. We had to ask for bath soap when it wasn’t replenished, and shampoo wasn’t provided. There was a small area in the room with a fridge and a counter with a sink, but no plates or cutlery. It’s a nice place, with a few things that could be better.

We loved the spacious bathroom with gas heating, plus the private balcony and clothesline. The rooms were cleaned daily, and the air conditioning was very powerful. My TV wasn’t a smart TV and only got two channels. The beach is very close, and it’s one of the few places in Bombinhas with a fresh water shower along the shore. There are pharmacies, a market, restaurants, and convenience stores nearby. The staff were very helpful, and in high season the reception is open 24 hours. There’s guarded parking. Breakfast is simple but tasty. One suggestion: have some ice available at breakfast, since the bottled water and juice were warm. I’d definitely return.

They lend you chairs for the beach, and the outdoor pool is beautiful. The hotel itself is simple, decent but not luxurious. Rooms are cleaned every three days, and changing the linens in between costs extra. Breakfast was alright, though I missed having a toaster.

I wouldn’t recommend this place. The rooms are worn down, the sheets are really old, and we even saw cockroaches in some of them. Cleaning isn’t included and costs extra. The receptionist was rude every time and not helpful at all. We asked for a packet of sugar for a child’s milk and were turned down because sugar is only served at breakfast, which was quite basic anyway.
