Pousada Residencial Paineiras

The place was filthy, and there was no privacy. The man in charge kept intruding and touching us whenever we passed near him. While we were grilling meat outside by the garage, he came to my table to talk about cellphone use, then went further and advised the person beside me to leave me. The sheets were old and smelled musty, so bring your own. The sofa felt sticky from all the dirt, like it hadn't been cleaned in years. Everyone has to coordinate around the garage because otherwise there isn't room for anything. It was noisy too. A terrible place.

The staff member was really friendly and attentive. The only thing missing is air conditioning in the rooms. That would make the place even better.

The worst part was what felt like bad faith from the owners: they canceled my stay after I checked out, so I couldn't get the vouchers. The place was also far too expensive for what it offered. It was very dirty, with cockroaches everywhere and no effective cleaning for a long time. The room was stifling, with no ventilation and just one dusty, noisy fan. There were hardly any outlets. The old, grimy pots didn't even have lids. I won't be back. A terrible experience for my family.

The one good thing was the beach. The apartment itself was dirty and uncomfortable, with no air conditioning, and it was impossible to sleep because people kept talking loudly and making a racket as if they were slamming doors. The bathroom was filthy and covered in grime, and the old, dirty sheets didn't help. The beds sank too much to be comfortable. The sofa was hard and full of ants, as was the kitchen table. The fridge barely cooled, the sink tap leaked, there was no microwave, and the outlets didn't work properly. The caretaker, luis, would butt in out of nowhere and acted strangely. I wouldn't recommend it if you're hoping to rest.
