Pousada Náutilus

Good service, and the place itself is nice.

It's a simple, cozy pousada with a good value feel, handy for walking around the little town center. The pool and garden make for a nice place to unwind after a beach day or outing. The basic room setup includes air conditioning, a minibar, a safe and TV, and there's Wi-Fi and parking too. It's close to the center as well as Santa Tereza and Prainha beaches. A few things to keep in mind: borrachudos can be bothersome at certain times of day or in some seasons, so good repellent is a must. Parking spaces may be harder to get during high season, so check the rules and limits. Breakfast gets some praise, though some people find it just okay, depending on what they expect. Prices vary a lot by date and room type. As a 2026 reference, a comparison site showed a low of about R$ 232 per night, recent averages around R$ 305 on weekdays and R$ 551 on weekends, and a range of roughly R$ 255 to R$ 653 in recent weeks. A good fit if you're after a convenient location and a relaxed stay without fuss, as long as your expectations for breakfast and the facilities are in line.

The service was awful, and what was offered had nothing to do with what we found there. The curtain was torn, and the pool was grimy when I arrived after paying for three nights. When I asked to cancel, they said it was a matter for Booking. I checked Reclame Aqui and found several similar complaints. In reality, it's the pousada that receives the money, not Booking. They have been doing this for years, according to what I found. Please check Reclame Aqui and avoid this trap. They said that if you want to make breakfast, there's a microwave, even though breakfast was part of what they had talked about when I arrived.

The service was great, but the place itself was disappointing. I paid almost a thousand reais and only later realized breakfast wasn't included. The double room had two single mattresses pushed together, leaving an uncomfortable gap in the middle. The place seemed dirty, and the towels looked like they had been washed and reused countless times. I wouldn't recommend it. There are much better options in the area.
