Pousada Luar

My wife and I stayed at the inn for four nights. Its location really is a ten, with the beach, little market, grocery stores, bakery, and pharmacies all close by. I might stay there again, but I’d definitely bring insect repellent. The mosquitoes were everywhere at night, so it was nearly impossible to sit in the outdoor area. We had to keep the air conditioning on in the room to keep them away. That air conditioning was either freezing when it was on, even with the temperature adjusted, or unbearably hot with mosquitoes when it was off. Our room was right behind the kiosk, which serves snacks, appetizers, pastries, and similar food at night. That’s a nice option, but the noise made it almost impossible to sleep until it closed around midnight. It sounded like people were banging pots inside our room. The soundproofing was so poor we could hear everyone outside, regardless of the time or how loudly they spoke. Light came through the windows even with the curtains closed, so blackout curtains reaching the floor would help. The outlets were right at the head of the bed, so you could easily hit your head on a plugged-in charger. The light switches, fan controls, and room card slot were also inconveniently far apart. Breakfast was very basic, though not bad. It had boiled eggs, bread, coffee, milk, cold cuts, some fruit, and cake. We missed having something local from the Northeast, like tapioca. The pool water was cloudy and needed cleaning. I only went in once during our four days, because I never saw it get cleaned and felt a bit disgusted. The bathroom had plenty of space, but the toilet seat was broken and the shower only worked on the summer setting, with lukewarm water. It wouldn’t work for anyone who likes a hotter shower.
