Che Lagarto Paraty

Great spot with relaxed ambience. The staff only too willing to help. Great communal area!

The whole atmosphere of the hostel was amazing! All the staff were very nice and friendly. I got the private room, comfortable and spacious. The scared rooms seemed very comfortable too. They have a very nice social space where people hang and can play Billard. The hostel is close to the Cultural Center.

Easily the best hostel in all of Paraty. Great vibes, very neat, perfect hospitality. It's a nice place to meet fellow travellers. Very close to center and all the places around. The front desk is extremely helpful.

Che lagarto is very well located on historical city center of Paraty, near of bakeries, markets, stores, restaurants and the walking zone of the city center. It's a very quiet place to stay, you will definitely be comfortable to walk a lot, drink all night, and return for a very good night of sleep. I had ride 750km by bike to get there and they even let me use their space to get things clean and safe. The place have all the facilities that you will need during your stay - fridge, stove, sink, tables, bar (last call 23:59), pool, snooker, soccer table, 24h reception, sheets, and maintenance if needed. I had a problem with air in the tubes of my shower, because of the heave rains, and they fixed in 10min. If you have any problems, please, communicate, they will definitely try to help you before anything goes wrong with your staying. I supposed to stay only 3 nights, but I stayed 8 on the private room. Nice bed, big bathroom, air conditioner, Television (but I didn't even tried to turn it on, you won't needed), and a very good card key system, I was able to enter in the room every time with no problems in 8 days (first in many). They have some rules like any other place, be aware, and go have some fun. You can use their lockers any time. I stayed with them after one of the worst storms the region suffered, and the cleaning was very impressive considering what they passed. And again, if something it's not right to you, please communicate, people can't imagine what things your are thinking or passing, and maybe that it's a chance to fix things right away or do things better next time. The staff is amazing - Jacques, Bea, Diana, Diogo, Antonio, Marcão, Mia - and more. I had a chance to talk with everyone, always friendly, curious, and helpful, you will definitely find some answers about food, drinks, sightseens, boats, beaches, directions, and so on. if you see they are busy, be patient, if you need something, use your questions to get all the answers you need. If you like snooker, Marcão and Jacques will be a very strong players if available. And if you need more accurate game with them, Diana can provide you a very nice "Jorge Amado" to improve your aim. You will find people from all over the world, ages, singles, or couples. Be friendly, gentle and opened, the Paraty experience will be much more easier and amazing with.
