Boa localização, mas alguns inconvenientes

Reservei um quarto com uma cama de casal e uma de solteiro e janela ou sacada. Chegando la, me colocaram num quarto minusculo com cama de casal sem nenhuma janela,umido e parecendo um caixote. Dormi uma noite,mas no dia seguinte pedi pelo meu quarto certo e falaram que me mudariam, que me colocaram neste quarto,pois eu estava sozinha.Falei que queria pelo menos uma janela,que abriria mao das camas,pq nao queria dormir num caixote.E o hotel so tinha eu,nao entendi o pq disso.Outra questao é que ha uma obra enorme da prefeitura em frente à pousada,que comeca às 7h com muito barulho,sujeira e lama.Nao é culpa da pousada,mas poderia ser avisada no momento da reserva,para ficarmos cientes.Um grande inconveniente é sobre o serviço de passeios,pois o rapaz do buggy ficou o dia inteiro enviando mensagem falando para fazer passeios para o meu telefone (que foi passado pela pousada), ficava me cercando no cafe da manha, e tanto ele quanto a funcionária da pousada marcavam os passeios sem eu querer! Isso era muito chato! Me senti desconfortavel! Fora isso, a pousada esta muito bem localizada.

Pousada boa e simples

Quartos simples e razoavelmente confortáveis, com preços mais acessíveis na praia do forte. Café da manha simples. Possui também uma sacada para deitar na rede. Pra quem quiser economizar com uma hospedagem básica, fica a indicação. Ela esta bem localizada bem próxima ao centrinho da praia do forte.

Localização excente.

A pousada é simples mas cumpre o seu papel. Cafe da manha foi Ok. Unico ponto que recomendo a pousada é uma modernização dos quartos com um conforto maior, os colchoes são desconfortaveis, principalmente pelo preço da diaria. De resto, tudo ok. Atendimento cordial e localização perto da Vila.

A estadia foi muito boa, pessoal super atencioso, prestativo, educado, simpático. Café da manhã simples mas gostosinho, Meire foi super atenciosa atendendo um pedido meu, fazer cuscuz de tapioca. Já Édson da recepção também excedeu as expectativas além de Rosa, a gerente. Muito obrigada a toda equipe! Bjs carinhosos.

Pousada simples. O quarto estava limpo e arrumado. Não tinha sabonete disponível, papel higiênico da pior qualidade e não tinha tomada do novo padrão de três pinos. A pousada não tinha adaptador específico de três para dois, mas conseguiram um outro adaptador e consegui fazer uma gambiarra. A posição da cama e do ar condicionado não está boa, pois o vento vai direto na cama. Quarto de frente para a rua muito barulhento. Funcionários muito prestativos. Acho o valor da diária alto pelo que é oferecido.

Bad experience

Bathroom looked like it had just been used when I checked in (the shower was wet and steamed), the bed was curved which hurt my back during the night. The door to the room only stayed closed when locked, but still very fragile. There was no window in the room! Street was very noisy (you could feel the door vibrating with the loud sound).

Hotel bem localizado, bem pertinho da Villa e das praias. Quero agradecer ao recepcionista Edson pelo excelente atendimento. Acho que o cafe da manha pode melhorar.. no primeiro dia descemos as 09 da manha e nao tinha quase nada para comer e não fizeram reposição. Quem chega logo na abertura do cafe encontra a fartura, mas quem chega depois come os restos...achei isso muito chato!! Quarto confortavel e bem limpo.

Pousada muito simples e precisando de reparos

Me hospedei com minha família em Julho2018 e fiquei bem insatisfeita. O quarto tinha cheiro ruim, a porta do banheiro toda descascada (tenho filha de 1 ano e toda hora eu tinha que tira-la de perto para não se machucar), a porta do banheiro não abria inteira por conta do tamanho do banheiro (batia na pia), a torneira do banheiro vazava e a pia ficava toda molhada. O Box do banheiro abria muito pouco sendo difícil de entrar. O chuveiro quase não esquentava e quando esquentava era só um fio de água. A limpeza da pousada é feita com água sanitária mas tão concentrada que o cheiro era muito forte, horrível. Café da manhã bem simples mas ok, pão, frios, manteiga, 1 tipo de bolo, café, leite, ovo mexido.
