The breakfast is excellent and the products are fresh and plentiful. The owner pays attention to the guests' comfort. The rooms are clean and there is practical furniture for small objects and the baggage. The staff is friendly and polite. Our room did not have beach view but it's not necessary since the beach is really close.
Pousada aconchegante, cômodo simples porém atendimento e localização maravilhoso!

O quarto não estava em bom estado e precisava de manutenção urgente: pias entupidas, geladeira muito velha e suja.
A pousada anuncia uma piscina que é minúscula e está em péssimo estado.
O preço cobrado não condiz com o que foi oferecido.

Gostei muito da minha estadia na pousada do Corrado. Ele é um italiano muito gentil, nos atendeu com muita atenção. Fez diversas sugestões sobre a cidade, onde comer etc. Gostei que o check in não tem burocracia e um monte de papéis para preencher. A pousada dia literalmente pé na areia. Na frente da pousada só tem um quiosque bar. O café da manhã é bem caprichado e feito na hora. A cabana que ficamos é toda de madeira, 100% rústica. Mas tudo organizado e limpo. Eles tbm possuem apartamento convencionais. Voltaria.
A pousada imbale é muito bem localizada, quase dentro da praia. Foi ótimo dormir com o barulho do mar. Corrado é muito atencioso e prestativo. Ofereceu upgrade de quarto em parte de nossa estadia. Café da manhã com muitas frutas e farto. Quartos bem limpos, mas roupa de banho não é muito nova. Colchões e travesseiros também não. A piscina estava suja com areia, não utilizamos. Se está do ladinho da praia, está também um pouco longe do acesso de carro e dos principais restaurantes à noite. O rio que passa lá perto pareceu poluído.
Excelente! Contato com a natureza e hospitalidade!
Mesmo que você vá com a expectativa alta, vc vai se surpreender. É um abraço de hospitalidade e natureza. O café da manhã é uma experiência a parte. Conrado, super cordial e com dicas excelentes. Fomos muito bem recebidos. Certeza que volto pra passar mais tempo desfrutando do que a natureza ao redor tem pra oferecer. A localização é a melhor possível.
Conrado e funcionárias excelentes ! Ele foi super prestativo e atencioso ! Nos deu várias dicas de locais para conhecer ! Super recomendo e voltarei com certeza !
Para quem busca uma hospedagem rústica pé na areia, Casa Imbale é o lugar perfeito

Recepção do grupo da pousada excelente; café da manhã muito bom; localização excelente; conforto do chalé que escolhi sofrível, carece de detalhes que elevariam o nível de conforto; comodidade boa;
Foi uma experiência incrível! Localização maravilhosa, de frente para o mar. Ainda tem proximo o encontro do rio com o mar que podemos ficar com tranquilidade. O Conrado é muito gentil e simpático! O cafe da manhã é um espetáculo a parte, com uma cesta de frutas farta, suco, frios e cafe fresco. Como fica numa reserva florestal, estacionamos na cidade e fomos de mochila. O acesso à pousada não demora 10 min a pé.
