Pousada Da Ilha

It was okay.

The pool is on the small side, but with the beach so close, it didn’t matter much. It gets plenty of sun for anyone wanting to tan. The kitchen was closed, though they let us use the one at the hotel next door. There’s a grill and a small covered patio with a table and chairs, great for a barbecue. The property has a ground floor and a first floor. In March, some Christmas lights were still on the tree, but it looks lovely.

It’s a quiet place where it’s good to sleep, and the room was clean, well ventilated, and had no bad smell. The beach is four minutes away, and the center, market, bakery, and pharmacy are all close. The attendant was polite. I had just one issue, with guests at the inn having a barbecue get-together. I contacted the person in charge, and the owner resolved it right away. I recommend the place and would come back to rest.

Awful. They wouldn’t even provide a microwave, despite my explaining that we needed it for bottles and meals for a three-year-old child. The inn we were given didn’t match the one shown in the website photos, and the two rooms we stayed in had nowhere to hang wet clothes.
