Recanto Há Mar

I had a lovely stay. The staff are kind, breakfast is delicious, and the location is great if you prefer somewhere quiet. Some rooms look out over the water, while others have balconies. Rocio speaks English and Spanish fluently; I'm not sure about the other staff.

The sea is the best thing to look at here. We were right in front of it, and opening the window brought it so close. You can even shower while watching the water and listening to the waves, with blue chromotherapy light in the shower to make it more relaxing. We saw turtles swimming, the sun coming up each day, and felt the breeze. No TV, as some reviews mentioned, but we didn't need one. My husband and I stayed from September 10 to 13, 2025, and it was one of the warmest, coziest places we've ever stayed on vacation. The whole inn has such a welcoming, peaceful feel. Breakfast was lovingly prepared, with plenty of variety and personal touches. I'd also read comments saying the selection wasn't large, but honestly, who eats that much? The care Sílvia and Rosário put into it matters more to me than a five-star buffet. For animal lovers, there's Aruê, a sweet Labrador, and his sister Tatá, who's just as lovely. There are cats around too, and the hotel is pet friendly. Owners Rosário and Sílvia welcomed us so warmly that it felt like coming home, the kind of home you don't want to leave. I hadn't known the inn before choosing it, and nobody had recommended it to me. I absolutely recommend it now and will tell all my friends. An indescribable stay. Thank you, ladies, for everything. I'm already counting down until I can return. A big hug and kisses to Aruë and Tatá, and lots of success, you deserve it!

I never ended up staying here, thankfully. I booked through Booking and chose to pay in installments. Then someone from the hotel messaged me through the Booking site, saying I had to pay 50% by Pix to secure the reservation, and sent a Pix number. I canceled straight away. That seemed completely wrong. Why charge a guest twice and say it's to guarantee the booking and avoid cancellation losses when Booking had already charged my card? Be careful not to get caught out. I'm glad I canceled in time, and I won't book this hotel again.

We booked one night. On arrival, we waited more than 10 minutes before anyone received us. Once inside, two dogs were loose and immediately attacked my wife and our dog. Our dog is a gentle Husky. The attacking dog belonged to the owners. As I tried to control it, I felt that my family's and our dog's physical and moral well-being were treated with total disrespect. The dog was so aggressive that even when I kicked it away, it kept going after our dog and trying to get at its jugular. When I finally got it under control, I stood in front of it to stop it attacking again. One of the owners, Rosário and Silvia, tried to get between us and said I was mistreating her dog, as if standing in its way to keep it from getting through were an attack. Nobody apologized or showed remorse, and they didn't refund the reservation. On top of that, when I briefly went into the bathroom, the urine stench was unbearable. The toilet smelled of dirty, ingrained water. If you don't want the same bad luck, avoid this place.
