Pousada Acquamarine

The pool area is well set up, with a deck by the canal, a bar, tables, chairs, and loungers, and the staff are very friendly. The rooms are clean and the beds comfortable; breakfast is simple, but uses fresh, good-quality food. Wi-Fi is weak around the property, though it works in the common areas. The inn is in a modest neighborhood, and the surroundings aren't the best, but public transport runs along the street. There's parking, though you have to leave your keys at reception. Taking everything into account, I thought it was good value.

We've stayed here twice as a family and already hope to come back. The beach we love is close by, and the inn is happy to accommodate our pets. The neighborhood is simple, but there are plenty of places to eat, from a more upscale restaurant to a great snack bar, and the inn serves tasty meals too. The rooms are clean and cozy, the pool is lovely, and the staff are very willing to help when something unexpected comes up. It's a pleasant place, and breakfast does what it needs to without unnecessary extras. For us, it works well for a relaxing beach stay.

A clean inn with a nice mix of simple and sophisticated. It's right on the Cabo Frio canal, and the location worked well for getting around. Every place I visited, including Praia do Forte and the bars, was under R$10 by Uber.

The pool was dirty and full of algae, and during my three-day stay nobody changed the towels. When I asked for clean ones, I was told they hadn't come back from the laundry yet. Breakfast was awful and the staff were unfriendly. I wouldn't recommend it.
