Pousada Marahub

There were bugs in the sheets, and the rooms seemed poorly maintained and unhygienic. Breakfast was meager, low quality, and often running short; they even served leftovers the next day. The kitchen staff preparing it gave dirty looks when asked for something, rudely put plates down, and sat talking loudly among themselves. The whole experience felt unpleasant and unfair. Reception was no better: staff were unhelpful and slept on the couches, with no concierge at night and the door left open. One night, someone came in off the street and slept in the reception area. I absolutely wouldn't recommend staying here.

The room was spacious, and the location was great, but the shower barely had any water coming out. Breakfast had little variety and nothing was replenished. If you came near closing, tapioca was pretty much all that was left since they make it to order. There wasn't much else to choose from, and when you asked for several, the kitchen employee looked displeased. The bread and cakes were stale. We didn't have a good experience.

The location is excellent, and the bathrooms are spacious and in very good condition. The rooms are nice, with a comfortable double bed plus a single bed, TV, minibar, and Wi-Fi. They don't have windows, which is common in local buildings that are narrow and built right next to one another, so keeping the air conditioning on is essential. You can ask reception to have the room cleaned. There's no parking lot, but people park on the street. I left my car right in front of the inn for a week. The local community is strict about security, especially for tourists. Staff were polite and helpful, and the women in the canteen deserve a special mention for always being so willing to help.

We really liked breakfast. There were breads, cold cuts, drinks, and fruit, plus tapioca with different fillings and omelets made to order. The triple room was large, with good wardrobes, comfortable beds, nice towels, good cleaning service, and a big bathroom. The location was excellent, right across from the beach and close to several restaurants with reasonable prices. The photo below shows the view from the shared balcony, not from inside the room. There isn't a window in the room, but that didn't bother us.
