La posada esta ubicada arriba del morro, y hay que atravezar una subida muy empinada para llegar. Es realmente el mayor problema que tiene esta posada. Teniamos auto alquilado, pero no cualquier auto sube semejante pendiente. Los taxis y deliverys te dejan en la base porque no quieren subir. Sinceramente, cuando llegamos y vi esta ubicacion me queria cambiar a cualquier otra posada y me preguntaba como lei esta situacion en los comentarios antes de contratar!

Ficamos em um bom quarto, porém o banheiro estava fedendo xixi. A equipe bacana. O que mais incomodou foi os próprios hóspedes com bateção de porta e a noite gritando atrapalhando nosso descanso.

A pousada tem uma estrutura muito boa, com condições de excelência porém, peca em detalhes, no quarto em que fiquei, o frigobar estava ruim, com a base apodrecida de ferrugem e não fechava, tive que colocar peso em meu cooler para escorar a porta para manter fechada; a água do chuveiro e pia com forte cheiro de mofo, as toalhas cedidas já estavam velhas soltando felpos, a cama de possuía um dos pés apoiados por pedaço de madeira. De positivo, o quarto era amplo, com boa ventilação, o café da manhã era caprichado, a pousada é organizada, com área de lazer. No geral foi bom!
