Itacaré hotels

Pros: the owners are so kind ,they help us alot and they are nice people. if you come to aita cara i recomend to you gays to come over to her. you wont regert i promese you.

Pros: Lovely clean and comfortable room with nice bathroom. Breakfast was absolutely INCREDIBLE; with lots of options including delicious home-baked cakes. Location excellent; a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Staff really friendly and helpful. Overall a fantastic stay!

Cons: Unfortunately our room was right next to the common area on the 1st floor, and some of the other guests were exceptionally loud on the first night. However the staff did try and ask them to be quiet.

Pros: Super friendly staff. Excellent location, close to Pituba street.

Pros: The owners here are amazing. A young couple very involved and greet guest every day. The best hotel we stayed in during our 11 day trip. We would definitely stay here again during our return visit to Brazil

Cons: Nothing other than they don’t take credit cards. Once again the hotel manager seemed confused as to why our credit card wouldn’t work without a pin. We had used the same card throughout Brazil never having merchants request a pin. I get it. Merchants loose a percentage to the credit card companies but it was very frustrating to end our wonderful stay having to deal with this. They need to post and be open with all customer they don’t take credit cards by choice.

Pros: Very nice pousada: Modern, clean, good and quiet location, perfect breakfast and nice staff. Would definately recommend it.

Pros: Very nice location and superb staff :)! The breakfast is amazing and payment by card was possible with no problem. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend to stay there. A lot of good ideas for traveling have been provided from the owner. Thanky you so much:)!

Pros: Great breakfast, calm location, friendly owners

Cons: When it rains the road to enter the pousada is very muddy and not easy to walk in/out on foot.

Pros: Amazing cosey little spot with such friendly hosts who had great patience with the children, fabulous breakfast feast every morning! Would go back tomorrow

Pros: Wonderful breakfast, clean, welcoming hosts and very helpful

Cons: -

Pros: We enjoyed every minute of our stay. The breakfast is absolutely spectacular (thank you Jessica!), the team is very friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean, well equipped and comfortable, beaches are close by as well as the „restaurant mile“ and the village center. everything was perfect, i hope we will meet again some day!

Cons: -

Pros: Super friendly hosts and the best breakfast ever!! They even offer private surfing classes! Highly recommended!

Pros: Great staff! Lovely people, they are ready to help and the lady makes wonderful cakes for breakfast. Room was big and clean

Cons: Not the best privacy but its ok compared to other places

Pros: We absolutely loved our stay here, the owners Jessica and Ezra are wonderful people, very friendly and informative. As this was our first stop in Brazil we greatly appreciated Jessica's perfect English and their knowledge / suggestions for what to see in and around Itacaré. The pousada has a lovely garden, the breakfast is delicious and sets you up for the day, the place is kept clean and is really close to the town's beaches.

Pros: Nice rooms in a tropical setting. Close to the main beach. Great breakfast. Wonderful staff with good local advice. So friendly, made us feel like we were guests in their home!

Cons: No complaints.

Pros: Exceptionally good breakfast, with different options every day. Very familiar atmosphere. A place to calm down and relax.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The owners Jessica and Ezra were super sweet and welcoming to their amazing guesthouse!! The gardens were lovely, rooms were clean and the breakfast was the best we’ve had in awhile!! Everyday Jessica makes fresh cakes and other goodies and changes it up between days! So happy we stayed there and would love to go back.

Pros: I couldn't rate this hotel any higher. Perfect location, 3 minutes to the main strip and 5 minutes to the closest beach. The staff are what makes this hotel such a lovely oasis; they are so smiley and happy and can't do enough to help you despite the fact we speak no Portuguese so had to use google translate a lot! The food was plentiful and filling at breakfast and on the day we arrived we had some lunch at the poolside bar. We couldn't have been happier with our choice, both in terms of value for money, the great pool facilities and the sense of calm with the whole place.

Pros: Perfect stay!

Pros: The staff were really wonderful and went out of their way to make us comfortable. Loved the long lap swimming space.

Cons: We booked the standard room, and it was a little drab. But doable.

Pros: The staff is awesome! Everybody ready to help you with anything. I´ve traveled with family with a 1.5 year baby and it was a great experience, although the pool isn´t isolated from the rest of the place, and it could be a risk with recent-walking babies!

Cons: They were under maintenance of the sauna facilities, and sometimes the noise of the construction was a little annoying. But again, we were with a baby, and they started working while there were almost no one at the place.

Pros: The hostel has an extremely cosy and beautiful decorated common area with couches, a balcony with hammock and sunbed, a well-equiped open kitchen and everything else you need to feel like at home. Our room had no private bathroom but there was a nice and clean bathroom next door. Marina and Andre are the best hosts! They also travel a lot, speak almost perfect English and are really caring. They give a lot of advices on what to do in Itacaré, ask to clean your room regularly and offer a really delicious vegetarian/vegan breakfast for a small extra amount. They were also really helpful when we had problems booking bus tickets. We would love to come back soon!

Cons: The location could be a bit more central and closer to the beaches, the room sometimes smelled a bit musty if the window was closed, but nothing major!

Pros: A lovely place, with an ocean view and really friendly staff. It’s not the Ritz, but it’s warm, friendly and an excellent place to stay!!

Pros: The overall design of the casa is very modern, esthetic, and adds significantly to a very comfortable stay. Rooms are spacious, have good value, and had one of the best showers we’ve had so far in Brazil! The kitchen is well equipped, the balcony makes for scenic meals, and the owners are easily reachable via Whatsapp (also in English) :) We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it!

Cons: That being said, according to us, the casa has two (minor) downsides. First, it is located on the outskirts of town, meaning that everything is at least a 10 minutes walk. Second, the area (and rooms) very somewhat noisy and on a bad night you could hear loud music and voices from outside.

Pros: The staff is amazing and the place has a lot of space if you need to work and find some quiet time. The room was amazing, spotless clean and big.

Pros: This was my second stay at Casa Kombar and was equally as good as my first!! Lovely staff, comfortable surroundings and very clean and tidy rooms, make Kombar a great stopover on anyone’s trip to Itacare.

Pros: We booked a night at Casa Kombar and when arrived we were surprised by the beauty of this guesthouse. It’s a nice decorated place, the rooms are clean and you got enough space to move around, comparing to some other guest houses ;-) Andre and Marina are very welcoming hosts, they are so friendly and helpful. Nothing is to much for them. Because all of this, we wanted to stay longer at Casa Kombar. Unfortunately the guesthouse was fully booked, so we had to search something else. They helped us very well, while it wasn’t that easy because Itacaré was full due to the surf competition. Without a doubt we booked 2 extra nights for the day after. We asked if we could leave our bags for the night so we didn’t have to haul them around. This wasn’t a problem for them! On arrival back the day after, they putted them already back in the room. As we were not that prepared what we wanted to do in Brazil, we had a lot of questions about trips and things to do. Andre and Marina gave us many options and ideas. And if this all isn’t convincing enough, we forgot our ‘lonely planet’ in a hotel in Ilhéus, guess what, they arranged a taxi to bring it al the way to Itacaré! Thank you so much. Highly recommend this place!!

Pros: Andre/Marina we’re awesome hosts. Comfortable and clean place. Breakfast was great. Being able to get laundry done was a bonus

Cons: Is a little away from main part of town but it’s a 5-10 minute easy walk to everything.

Pros: Great place, good vibes and breakfast.

Cons: It's a little further from the action than most places but still an amazing location.

Pros: Everything is good! Wonderful pousada, nice design, confortable and clean room, good breakfast, nice helpful staff, great pool. Right by the beach. What more can you ask for

Cons: WiFi was a bit weak

Cons: No one speaks english but we managed to understand eachother

Pros: Best service I ever had in Brazil. Special thanks for Renata and Tamy, very helpfull with everything that me and my family needed all the time during our stay. Beautiful facilities and very cozy. Amazing food as well.

Cons: Our room could had blackout curtains.

Pros: Our stay at this hotel was fantastic! The place itself was very pleasant and the friendly staff made the stay even better. The highlight for us was the restaurant. The dinner was superb! We dinned here 4 out of 5 nights. The location is perfect if you wanted to stay close to the centre, where bar and restaurants are. The friendly staff will organise any activities for you. So sit down and relax! Big shout to the girls at breakfast Dê and Gil. They were very fun to chat, besides making the best banana caramel tapioca! And Rogério, at the reception, who became a friend! Obrigado!

Cons: To be honest I found it a bit pricey. However, this level of accomodation/services in Brazil are not cheap. So yes... you will pay more $$ for services like this every where you go.

Pros: Very comfortable and well appointed.

Pros: Great helpful staff Good location Amazing decoration

Cons: The breakfast variety was poor. Clean room, the bathroom could have been cleaner. Pool was dirty and small

Pros: Great location, friendly staff and luxurious setting (also great desserts)

Cons: The standard room that we booked was great design and luxurious. However there was no window and when you open the door you can look in the eye of the receptionist. The room is not ideally situated if you value privacy and a quiet ambiance.

Pros: Great food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Cons: Not sure yet :)

Pros: Helpful staff. Good breakfast.

Cons: Overpriced as expected on New Years Eve (all decent places are really expensive that time of the year). No ashtrays in the rooms.

Pros: Everything else is great. Carlos and the staff are top!

Cons: Mosquito bites at night in the rooms. They are not hermetically sealed so they come in. Have to put the A/C at freezing level to sleep and there is no comforter.

Pros: I like everything in this place. It was very cozy, clean, and comfortable. The place was always clean with a fresh sent. The bathrooms were excellent as well with a spacious shower, plus a hairdryer and makeup mirror is included in the bathroom.The morning breakfast was always a delight with different food options to eat every morning. I enjoyed my stay here very much and recommend this place to everyone.

Pros: Close to the city center and has nearby beaches (Resende, Tiririca), that are into walkable distance. Great breakfast and very polite staff. The mood is relaxing. Very good place to stay, looking forward to come back anytime soon.

Pros: The place has everything you need and the owner is a very charmant and calme man, always ready to receive.

Pros: was the best place that i had find during last my travels

Cons: nothing! all was percfect there. i love it!

Pros: Excellent value for money!!! Very good location and service. Very clean place and easy access.

Cons: It could include some amenities and kitchen tools.

Pros: Very close to the beaches and main tourist areas/streets of Itacare, but also on a quiet back street so peaceful and able to get a good nights sleep. Very clean, comfortable bed. Good value.

Cons: Staff was very friendly and helpful, but came into room without our knowing or approval to make our bed and take away towels they thought were dirty without replacing them. It was a little unsettling because we had our passports and valuables in the room and didn’t see the point in such a scare when they didn’t really much besides make our bed. They also left the balcony door unlocked after their entry, so next time we’ll be sure to specify “não serviço de quarto por favor”.

Pros: The location

Cons: The room was very uncomfortable it wasn't thought for practicality. No shelves to put anything, no hooks to hang anything. There's was a clothes rack located in the most uncomfortable position under the TV, were all the clothes would touch the floor an if you used the hangers the space would become even more tight. The space thought as a table to eat was a piece of wall that wasn't the right size to hold two plates and two glasses and we ate standing as there were two stools that didn't work for the height of the "table" you risked every time to drop things on the bed. No chairs to sit, even in the balcony. Hamack completely unusable as the balcony has no protection. If you like the thrill of falling down three floors then it's great! There was nobody to talk to, I needed to change a pillow and couldn't find anyone, internet worked very rarely, we only could use the internet one day, we tried to look for someone on the day we were leaving to call a taxi as it was raining and there was no one, internet wasn't working to contact anyone and we left with a horrible memory of our time in itacare. I have no idea why this place gets the rating it does, if you get room 22 I'm sure it won't be like that.

Pros: Arpoador Flat does not serve breakfast, but there is a kitchen in the apartment so you can prepare your own breakfast and other meals. The flat is very comfortable and is cleaned every day. The location is very nice. Quiet, but close enough to restaurants and at a walking distance to the beaches of Concha, Resende, Tiririca, Costa e Ribeira. There is a wash basin and clothesline so it is possible to wash clothes by hand. I also enjoyed the hammock on the apartment balcony.

Pros: Lovely room and excellent breakfast with saguis hopping around trees above!

Cons: We arrived a little late 7pm and payment had been taken on card, we would have preferred to pay cash.

Pros: all perfect. friendly staff, good breakfast, beautiful place, close to the beach...

Pros: Cristine is a great host, She and her Team have been always available to make our stay at Pousada Bambu very comfortable. The breakfast is really good. The pousada is very clean. Each room is cleaned every day. The Pousada is not too far away from the main street of Itacare (10min walk) and it allows to sleep without any noice around. The Beach is just behind with a very good typical restaurant.

Pros: The location is good, the breakfast alright but not exciting but above that not that much noteworthy. One very positive exception was the front desk lady. We complained that the shower was without warm water. It took maybe one hour between complaint (in the late evening) and fixing of the shower via a handyman.

Cons: The rooms are basic and the pillows are insanely uncomfortable as well as the mattresses. The bathrooms are a bit smelly and not very clean. Sound travels very well at least between certain rooms so that you can hear everything from your neighbor including partying, tv watching or mattress sport. The doors do not lock properly or are about to fall apart (loose handle, not properly closing balcony doors). The hallway was not cleaned properly (every night the wind made quite a mess knocking plants over) which was not cleaned up until the afternoon of the next day. Even though not entirely bad and surely good for a short stay the pousada is insanely overrated and definitely not worth the price for a long stay (> 2 days)

Pros: This is by far the best property I have ever stayed in. I generally do surf travel, and usually stay in very basic places. This place has a budget price but would be great for families and couples as well as singles. Oh, and the breakfast was great!

Cons: N/A

Pros: Very welcoming and friendly owners of the hostel, they make you feel like home! Great location, and still quiet at night. Good wifi, tasty breakfast, nice hammocks and overall a really good and chill vibe at the hostel! We loved it!!

Cons: We only missed a shared kitchen!

Pros: Laisa and Pedro are amazing hosts, they will help you with everything always! Really amazing people that are nice to seat with and talk to. The hostel is 1 minute walk from the principal street. Comfortable and clean rooms, hammocks, nice breakfast, laundry service. Most of the guests are solo travellers so if you are one it is perfect for you.Definitely a place to return to!

Cons: Nothing :)

Pros: A very nice, clean and tidy place, near to the way to the beaches out of the town, that are the more interesting. Pedro e Laíssa are very good hosts. She also speak some Spanish.

Cons: I thik I should put a chair or bench in the room, since sitting on the bed is uncomfortable because the upper bed is too low.

Pros: Owner was super friendly and welcoming

Pros: Really cute place just 50 meter away from the main road with all the shops and restaurants. Walking distance from the bus station and some of the beaches. The breakfast is great too and they clean the room often. I stayed longer than i planed to. The dorm is for 4 people so not too big and not too many people.

Pros: The place was great plenty to eat at breakfast, would make more if needed quite and very respectful, when asked made several suggestions were to swim what to visit and booked our onward journey Would have stayed longer if the weather had inproved ( that is if we could have

Cons: The only thing I could suggest was aircon in a couple of rooms even if charged more

Pros: The staff is great! The place is very nice: common space with plants, tables and hammocks to hang out in. Good WiFi. Quiet as it is 2 blocks from the main street full of bars. Clean, spacey rooms.

Cons: Air conditioning when it’s really really hot out. They offer both floor fans and ceiling fans, but when it’s really hot, a bit of air conditioning would be nice.

Pros: Very friendly staff. Airconditioning was not working properly when we arrived but Fernando immediately came to help and fix it. The breakfast is good and the location is perfect. Not too close to the center not too far.

Pros: Very relaxed pousada. Quiet and clean. Perfect for a relaxing break. And the owners are super super friendly. Highly recommended.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The staff was particularly kind and helpful, the location was very nice, the breakfast was really good.

Cons: The air-conditioner was a little bit noisy.

Pros: Rodriguez the host was very welcoming - and unusually for Brazil - spoke quite a bit of English

Cons: Wish i could have see marmosets and parakeets that sometimes come to visit

Pros: Rodrigo is an excellent host!! He went out of his way to make sure I had the best vacation possible. He connected me to an English-speaking travel guide for trips, to other guests to join them for an afternoon at the beach... anything I needed! He was also a big help figuring out the bus from Itacare to Ilheus. I cannot recommend him more highly, and his English is excellent. The rooms were clean and spacious, with a very comfortable mattress and pillows. The breakfast was delicious as well.

Cons: The pousada is located a short walk from the main strip on a very quiet street. The walk home at night was a little too dark/quiet for my liking as a solo female traveler, but I think it would have been fine with a flashlight (next time!)
