Pousada Enseada das Garças

If you are looking for sunbathing, you should be aware that the sun does not reach the pool area from late March to late August. But there are other beaches nearby.

The bed was very comfortable, and the proximity to the lake creates beautiful scenery.

Parking was gated, covered by CCTV, and the private beach was great. However, the stairways to the rooms and the beach could be safer.

The breakfast is fantastic, and the dishes, while a bit expensive, were of really good quality. However, the quality of the food varied from day to day, and there were various products missing from the menu items.

The hotel is rustic, yet gorgeous and quiet, and the rooms were clean and well decorated. However, some rooms had bugs, and the cleaning could be better.

Opt for a room with a sea view to enjoy the stunning scenery and beautiful sunsets.

Consider visiting nearby beaches such as Buzios and Arraial do Cabo for a change of scenery.

Be aware that the quality of the food for dinner may not meet expectations, so consider exploring dining options outside the hotel.

Due to the hotel's natural surroundings, be prepared for the presence of insects, especially in rooms closer to the trees.

If sunbathing is a priority, note that the pool area may not receive direct sunlight from late March to late August, but alternative beaches are available nearby.

Plan for limited dining options nearby, and consider ordering meals in advance due to the hotel's isolated location.

Exercise caution on the stairways to the rooms and the beach, as some guests have raised concerns about safety in these areas.
