Pousada Aquarela

Ana Paula gave us such a warm welcome. The inn is peaceful and close to everything, with a really hot shower and a comfortable bed. It looked just like the photos she showed. The only downside was having to head home after an incredible weekend. Thanks, STL s2.

The location and facilities are good, and the inn is clean, but the Wi-Fi kept dropping out and there was a strong sewer smell coming from the bathroom. The price is accessible, but it isn’t cheap, so these issues really should be looked into.

It was clean, and the location is excellent, just a minute from the bus station, but there were several problems. The TV was about 15 inches and mounted high up, so my short-sighted friend couldn’t see anything. They only provided toilet paper and a bathroom floor towel. Since it was rainy season in a town where people go out into nature, a mat at the entrance would help keep the place clean. There was also just one thin blanket per person. If I wanted another, I would have had to go outside in the rain in my pajamas and wait for someone to answer the intercom. That might not have worked anyway, since the owner said she was traveling and there might be nobody there. There was a bucket and an ice cream tub full of water in the outdoor area, with a toilet brush in them, which can attract disease-carrying mosquitoes. I take back what I said about breakfast, that was my friend’s mix-up, sorry. But don’t worry, this fussy tourist won’t stay there again. There are plenty of other inns in town.

We were welcomed nicely, and the room was simple but clean. The bathroom was clean too, though very cramped, and the shower was warm. Wi-Fi was excellent, the fan and minibar were fine, and the bed was okay. The TV was tiny and didn’t get any channels, which was disappointing since it was raining and we spent a long time in the room. The location is good, but our room was right by the street, with the door opening straight onto the sidewalk. We didn’t open the window and didn’t sleep well because of street noise. There were no towels or soap, but I always bring those, so it didn’t matter to me. For a place without parking or breakfast, the price was accessible.
