Chale Yababali

The outdoor area won me over. It opens onto the Atlantic Forest, with birds like bem te vi and tiê sangue playing by the pool. I stayed in chalet 4, which was clean, fresh-smelling, airy, and close enough to walk to the beach. Inside, it’s cozy and tastefully done. It’s quiet and feels like a little paradise, good for couples or families. Sr Jefferson was very friendly and attentive. I loved the place and will definitely come back. Highly recommend it!

The pool area gets plenty of air, though it could use better lighting. The house has the basics covered, including pots, plates, glasses, fans, Wi-Fi, and Netflix. It feels like a family-friendly place, and Jefferson was polite, helpful, and attentive.

We’ve been coming back almost every year since the place first opened. The location, beach, convenience, and price all work for us. Maybe I’m their longest-standing customer!

I’ve stayed in chalets at praia da Lagoinha many times, and this was easily my worst experience. I left earlier than planned because the stay was so unpleasant. The place may have been nice once, but now it felt neglected. Every drain in the chalet was missing its cover, leaving a bad smell and potentially making it easier for cockroaches to get in. It was dirty too. I had to clean the bathroom as soon as I arrived, using my own shampoo and the hand sanitizer from my car because it wasn’t fit to use. They charge 100 reais for cleaning. I don’t mind paying that, but I expected the place to be clean when I arrived. I wouldn’t recommend it.
