Pousada Doce Vida

The place is very basic, the sheets don’t smell fresh, and the owner, Sr Antônio, was extremely rude. I’d forgotten a pillow and went back for it, saying it might be at reception or in the room. He insisted, with a sarcastic, sour attitude, that it wasn’t there. I asked him to check the room, and he kept saying it wouldn’t be there. When he finally looked, it was. He angrily tossed the pillow onto a bench outside near where we were waiting, then slammed the gate shut. He didn’t just lose one customer, but several. It’s a terrible place, I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone, and it’s very expensive.

The rooms aren’t fancy, but they have everything you need for the price: a balcony with a hammock and table, a comfortable bed, cable TV, air conditioning, a minibar, and an electric shower. The place is wonderful, and the hosts are excellent, helpful, and friendly. I’ll definitely be back.

We went last weekend, and my family and I felt very comfortable. We wanted somewhere quiet and cozy to sleep, with a hearty breakfast, and that’s exactly what we got. The owners were attentive and welcoming. Thank you, Sr Antonio. See you again!

It’s a simple inn in a convenient location. Seu Antonio, the owner, has good suggestions for seeing Tamandaré and Carneiros. For more detailed information, though, it’s worth stopping by the Quiosque de Informações aos Turistas.
