La vista desde el hostel es hermosa. Las instalaciones necesitan actualización, esta muy deterioradas. Pesamos que no habia lugares para distinción, justo antes de subir a la lancha por la finalizacion de las vacaciones, nos enteramos del area que esta en un predio aparte. El aquario deja mucho que desear. Escasa agua, suciedad. Innecesario. El desayuno relativamente bien. Falta yogur, pero es un detalle. Insoportable el ruido proveniente de che lagarto. Musica y gritos todos los dias hasta las 4am

Bom no geral mas itens a melhorar

Atendimento muito bom, mas perde pontos por não forcer nada de água gratuita, nem filtro, além de não ter interfone para falar com a recepção. O hotel é bonito mas a área comum precisa de manutenção. Tem muitos lugares deteriorados pelo tempo.

Pé na areia como a gente gosta.

Nós gostamos muito, lugar é em frente à praia. Tem uma piscina natural, da para nadar com os peixes. Café da manhã muito bom, as 2 meninas da cozinha muito simpáticas. A Adriana nos recebeu bem e nos ajudou bastante. Queremos voltar para aproveitar mais.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Decepcionante

Zona bonita da ilha mas demasiado longe do local de desembarque, temos que andar com malas na areia. Impossível descansar devido a festas noturnas diárias até às 6 da manhã. Depósito de água de toda a pousada é no telhado e está em constante enchimento e ouve-se toda o barulho (alto) a todo o momento. Não arrumam o quarto e o pequeno-almoço não é dos melhores. Decepcionante!

Bom

Hostel entrega bem tudo o que promete. Sandra (dona do estabelecimento) muito solícita. Localização do hostel, apesar de um pouco afastado do centrinho, tem uma vista incrível. Uma reforminha e limpeza no forro do banheiro cairia muito bem (rsrs).

Foi tudo ótimo, exceto pela cama do quarto que tinha o colchão maior que a base, o que incomodava bastante na hora de dormir! Quase caí algumas vezes. Fora isso, tudo dói incrível!

A pousada é um charme, vista impecável! Somente incomodou um pouco a questão do barulho porque tem festa aos finais de semana e o atendimento na recepção deixou a desejar. Deixo minha avaliação como forma de ajudar a melhorar!

Lugar muito lindo, vista maravilhosa. O aquário precisa de manutenção, drenar a água para renovar, fora isso nenhum problema externo tudo muito agradável. No quarto precisa de alguma ajustes qto ao banheiro, o botão da descarga estava emperrando, precisava atenção ou iria vazar muita água. Eu recomendo o lugar, independente de qualquer informação acima, todos muito atenciosos.

Vista do quarto excepcional

A vista do quarto eh maravilhosa, a melhor do hotel e provavelmente a melhor vista da "baia" de Abraaao porque eh a construcao mais alta da regiao. Acho apenas que o quarto poderia passar por leves ajustes, como a cama do tamanho do colchao (sim o colchao eh bem maior que a cama) e roupas de cama e cobertor estao velhos e ate com um certo odor. O atendimento eh otimo, equipe bastante acolhedora

Não há luxo, a internet é lenta mas o atendimento pessoal foi perfeito e a localização maravilhosa. A piscina natura, onde vc nada cercado de peixes, é algo de outro mundo. Tivemos de vir um dia antes em razão do decreto de lockdown.

Ótimo, mas a limpeza pode melhorar

Foi ótimo, a vista é linda demais e a localidade também. Mas acho que a limpeza poderia melhorar, principalmente do aquário (que é a atração principal do hostel), diversas vezes eu vi latas e garrafas que as pessoas jogavam lá e ninguém tirava.

Ótimo local

Ótimo local para se hospedar, tudo muito agradável e limpo, atendimento perfeito. Café da manhã simples porém com o mínimo necessário pra uma refeição. A distância para o centro é um impencilho pra quem vai com malas grandes. Funciona como Hostel e pousada e a noite tem balada a partir das 18h, o som não chega a incomodar.
