Pousada Recanto Sol a Sol

There’s lots of space, and it’s clean and well organized. Praia do Forte is 10 minutes away. Really good!

The guesthouse is spotless, and the staff who handle breakfast refills and cleaning are lovely and polite. The breakfast is delicious, made with so much care by Bernardo’s mom. The team deserves a lot of credit. There’s plenty to do for families too, with a kids’ area, court, pool, sauna, and barbecue space. The rooms are okay, though the key for room 2 needs to be sorted out. Praia do Forte is a 14-minute drive, while Praia das Conchas and Ilha do Japonês are 25 minutes away. Arraial is also a 25-minute drive. Even with the distance, I’d come back.

The bed was good, and we slept well. The rooms are a suitable size for a night’s sleep, though sizes may vary depending on what you need. The bathroom is spacious, but you can hear some noise from other rooms, which was the one uncomfortable part. It took a few minutes to drive to the main beaches, but the location still worked well for us. We found this place while looking for a fair-priced stay. There’s lots of room and activities for all ages, including a playground, pool, small soccer field, hammocks, and other cozy spots. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The person who checked us in and out also gave us tips on nearby places and things to do.

The breakfast is very good, the rooms are comfortable, and the guesthouse is clean. There’s a full leisure area for children, a barbecue, and guests can cook if they want. It’s not close to any beach, but the location is still convenient, with supermarkets, a bakery, snack bars, a pharmacy, and a shopping center about 1 km away. A few things could be better: the guest kitchen needs better pots and pans, and breakfast starting at 8 a.m. is late. During peak season we need to leave early for the beaches to find a spot, or we may not even get close to our destination. Some room maintenance also needs attention, including shower leaks and cleaning the air conditioner filters. Even so, I’d stay here again.
