Café da manhã muito bom. Acomodações dentro do esperado. Funcionários muito educados e atenciosos. Piscina muito boa e limpa. Estacionamento um pouco apertado.
Excelente custo benefício. Recomendo!

A pousada é bem localizada próxima à Vila (centro histórico), porém precisa desesperadamente de uma reforma e melhor gerenciamento.
No meu quarto não tinha toalha para tomarmos banho e só recebemos no dia seguinte, ou seja, no primeiro dia ou eu me secava com uma toalha de rosto ou usava a mesma que a minha esposa.
O quarto também é velho, o banheiro minúsculo e ambos precisam de (bastante) manutenção.
O café da manhã é ok, sem muitas opções de comida e ainda parece que é contado… nos 5 dias que fiquei hospedado não consegui comer um pão de queijo sequer, pois sempre acabava, demoravam pra repor, e quando repunham não passava de 6 unidades (aí ia alguém mais rápido e pegava tudo).

Quarto muito ruim . Não reflete as fotos . Chuveiro caia pouca água , quarto pequeno , mobília bem antiga , não tem o mínimo de conforto . Café da manhã razoável , bem simples . Não vale o custo benefício .
Pousada simples, com cara de praia. Uma piscina grande, ensolarada o dia todo. Quartos gostosos ( precisam de um pouquinho de manutenção. As portas do armário não paravam fechadas). Café da manhã simples mas muito bom!

No café da manhã, falta queijo branco e suco de laranja. Na piscina falta o último degrau da escada, o que dificulta aos idosos sairem dela.
Estadia incrivel. Quarto bem espaçoso e café da manhã com varias opções. Piscina bem cuidada e bastante espaço de estacionamento. Um bela sinuca e um lounge super confortável para fechar a noite.
O quarto é bem pequeno e bem velho ,cheira mofo,cama pequena e desconfortável,armário muito sujo,banheiro super apertado e tem aquele esquema de banheiro e chuveiro junto isso é bem antigo,terrível pra pessoa que tem alguma deficiência.nas fotos está muito direferente,café da manhã bem simples.
Foi uma experiência maravilhosa, excelente atendimento das moças da recepção! Só não gostei da porta do banheiro que é de vidro e tem insulfilme mas não esconde nada, se for viagem com amigos assim como fiz, isso pode deixar desconfortável. Café da manhã delicioso. Eu volto com certeza.

Não vale o que cobra
A pousada é muito bem localizada, devido aos quartos todos ficarem de frente para a piscina e a extrema falta de educação de alguns hóspedes, fica muito barulho. O quarto estava com a cama quebrada e com cheiro de urina, o guarda roupas acomoda as roupas somente de uma pessoa, café da manhã muito fraco

Check-In confuso, houve demora no reconhecimento ou no processamento da reserva. Café, ok, mas no segundo de dois dias de estadia faltaram itens básicos como queijo, opções de suco, melhor capacitação do atendimento. Check-out, confuso também, não havia staff para recebimento das chaves.
Muito velho é muito simples. Box do banheiro não cabia meu marido. Cama ruim . Café bom . Local bom . Mas precisa de um reforma. Sugestão: mudar o restaurante para cima onde tem a sala de jogos. Vai dar um upgrade maravilhoso. A vista e privilegiada nesse ambiente e fica as moscas . Ninguém usa .
O colchão era péssimo precisa ser trocado com urgência dormimos num buraco do que restou da espuma . Outra coisa que não gostei as toalhas não são trocadas diariamente. De resto o atendimento é excelente o café da manhã e bom. Localização boa. Lugar sossegado
Ótima localização, tamanho de quarto e banheiro bons.
Entretanto, as portas das duas partes do banheiro são em vidro, o que favorece com que entre a claridade no quarto com o nascer do sol.
Senti cheiro de mofo no quarto.
