Pousada Maria Helena

Awesome.

On the first day I tried to cancel, but they refused to refund me, even though I believe consumer law gave me that right. I later saw better-equipped inns nearby and closer to the beach, with air conditioning and breakfast included for the same price. Do your research. I wouldn’t recommend this place. The kitchen was filthy and basically unusable, and the inn was under construction without warning us. We had to wake up very early to the noise. The woman who greeted us in the morning was extremely grumpy. Parking was awful and disorganized, with fewer spaces than cars. The ceiling fan sounded like a tractor.

The rooms and bathroom are good, and the overall setup is great. The parking area is a bit small, but with some care it fits all the cars. The location is excellent, just a three-minute walk from the sea at most. I recommend it, and I always stay at this inn when we’re in Guaratuba.

It’s a simple place, but the staff treat you so well. The room was clean and spacious, and it’s close to the beach in a convenient spot. The attendants are the prettiest in Guaratuba, and there’s the angelic Giovana with her little motorbike. Highly recommend.
