Atlantica Apartamentos Imbassai

We booked at the last minute and got good service. Dinho, the friendly caretaker, checked us in and explained everything. Having checkout at 12 was handy since we could go out for coffee first. For apartment 05, better bath towels and more comfortable pillows would help. The TV has no digital antenna, so it doesn't work, and a water filter would be useful. We arrived late with no bottled water and spent the night thirsty. You really need a car here. It's about an 8-minute drive to the center.

Gabriel gave us such an attentive, helpful welcome, which you don't come across often. The apartment was airy, spacious, and very pleasant, and the whole place was quiet and peaceful. I'd definitely come back with my family.

The apartments are cozy, and everything was clean and well organized. It's a great value if you're looking for an apartment. The beach is a bit far, but you can walk there.

The owner made us feel really uncomfortable. Whenever we were heading out, she asked where we were going and how long we'd be. At 10:38 the next morning, she was already checking whether we really planned to leave at 12 and asking why we'd bought barbecue meat if there wasn't time to cook, since we still had to pack and check out on schedule. She kept walking past and watching while we grilled. Our van was delayed until 17:00, so we paid for an extra half day because we had children and lots of luggage and nowhere to leave them. At 16:30, while we were getting ready to go, the owner turned off the wifi. The whole situation was deeply embarrassing. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. The facilities and space are good, but the location is a problem. The property is surrounded by brush and reached by a dirt road. The nearest bakery is 1km away on the main road, though the owner had told me it was right next door. The beach is almost 3km away. Going out at night without a car is difficult: it's a long way through brush, and the dirt road has little to no lighting.
