The place is indeed beautiful. Almost a TV-made scenario. There's lots of attractions to spend the time, both for kids or adults. Staff is friendly. Grocery store is fine. The breakfast is good. And that's it. One of the worst experiences I had in a Pousada/ village though. The beach in front of the place is full of sargasso and waves are not kid-friendly as some had stated. They're strong. Besides, water is not clear, it's very brown. The menu is expensive and has only few options. It does not have a single vegetable, only protein and carbs. The house is FULL of bugs and small animals. We saw huge roaches every day there, inclusive in the tableware drawer. There are frogs everywhere at night, even around the shower. The illumination is bad between kitchen and living room and there's no AC nor fan there. There's an open gap between the walls and the roofs. No way bugs will be kept outside. So disappointed when talking to the staff about the bugs and the answer was like "you're in the middle of the wild, you should expect this". Complete lie. I had just come from a Pousada in Carneiros Beach, in the middle of the wild, and did not see a single bug the 4 days I was there, not even mosquitoes. Will never go back to Costa Dourada village. Not worth the money at all.
