Best Hotels near Poço da Laje, Paraty

Eu e meus filhos amamos este passeio. Hotel maravilhoso, estrutura excelente, funcionário prestativos, café da manhã muito gostoso e de brinde tivemos companhia de macaquinhos no café da manhã. Tudo muito limpo e organizado.

I booked 2 nights in this place on December 30 and 31 and it costed me $150 the night, where the normal price won’t exceed the $50. I thought the price was in reales but it was in dollars, so I hoped it would be a really nice place due to the price. There was no security box, the wifi was incredibly slow (I had to do some work and couldn’t due it from the room), there were ants over the table, no hair drier, the handle of the door was broken and there was no lamp next to the bed. I emailed the owner and he never responded it. I went to talk to him in person and ask him if he got it but he said he had nothing to say and that the booking was my mistake. I explained all the issues I found with the room and that I was expecting a refund due to them, but he never took responsibility for them and blamed me again for the booking. I was expecting responsibility on the matter. I thought that position was greedy, he knows I didn’t want to book at that price, that it was’t the normal cost of the hotel due to holidays and that I found many issues in the room.

This hotel was wonderful, the service was fantastic for the most part. I say for the most part because I had to wait over 30 minute for a few bottles of water and needed to call twice. Also they don't really know much about technology...I figured out the TV myself and the A/C had a timer set to go off in the middle of the night, I called downstairs, no one came so I figured it out for myself. For a luxury property it would have been nice to have a makeup mirror in the bathroom and a box of tissues ( I bought my own box). One last critic would have been great to have the serve of someone to iron your clothes . We also needed adaptors so we could use our electronics (and my friend with me was from Rio, but still needed one as there was no way to plug in your cell phone charger). One more HUGE thing, the floor in the shower is a bit slippery and there is no handrail, nothing to grab onto, a bit dangerous, no matter what your age and I would have like brighter lightbulbs in the bathroom. On a Positive note (and there were many) Room was clean and bed huge and comfy and quiet at night for sleeping. Double sinks in the bathroom a plus. Everyone was super friendly and breakfast was fantastic. Pool and gardens were lovely, lush and tropical. The ice cream shop Miracolo was a dream, we went for ice cream every afternoon, not to be missed. And the restaurant Pupus was truly exceptional, the service was 5 stars and the food was prenominal. All in all we had a wonderful weekend.

We absolutely loved this hotel. It is actually difficult to call it a hotel as the owner and her incredibly warm and attentive staff truly make you feel like you are at home. The hotel is lovely with much attention to detail that we very much noticed and appreciated. We stayed in the White Room which had a wonderful balcony that we spent much time positioned on looking at over the street below. We loved the view so much that we bought a photograph of the church we looked at from the balcony as the perfect memento of a perfect stay. The hotel is in a great location-close to the Marina, walking distance from all the shops and restaurants but in an area that is quiet at night. The breakfast is exquisite highlighted by the pastries and breads that rival any we have eaten around the world. We will go back to Paraty just to stay here again!

The guesthouse is very close to the jabaquara beach, but it is a beach with sand and dark water and very little frequency, which already calls us the alert. The good beaches (Sao Gonçalo, Trindade and Paraty Mirim) are far away and you will need to use the car. The guest rooms are educated and careful, the rooms are clean, the bed and bathrooms are clean, but attention: they are very simple rooms, the showers are bad and they release little water. The breakfast is quite simple, but with fresh food. There is only a swimming pool. Nothing more. I can't comment on it because I didn't use it. The parking is good, wide, but I felt missing the demarcation of the vacancies. As they are not demarcated, there are always those “good drivers” who take a car to take the space of two. Without telling the permission of the hostel to parked cars block the exit of others ( one of the days I stayed 22 minutes waiting for the “health man” to remove your car so that I can get out). The guests have no restaurant or lunch room to serve the guests, and that is a problem for me. If you want to sit in the night, on the pool side, to take a beer, try to buy it in the supermarket. The most worse is the amount of pernilongs in the room, in the bathroom, in the pool area, in the entire hostel. I'm biten of a stick from feet to head, and the hostel doesn't offer you any of those electrical appliances (the dive is the dive), and I had to go out and buy one, if not my wife and I couldn't sleep. In general (and at the most), the hostel is paying for the expense, but it is quite simple and sinful in some points I have mentioned above.

We were warmly welcomed by Yvan, whose friendliness, kindness and interest in getting to know us made us feel write at home. The pousada was a well-groomed colorful tropical garden, complete with Caio the parrot and monkeys. Denise created delicious homemade breakfasts of fruits, juice, coffee, eggs, crepes and cakes. She, also, was kind and hospitable. The pool is spotlessly clean and beautiful. Our rooms were comfortable, nicely decorated, clean and inviting, Yvan gave us great recommendations for restaurants with beautiful views, as well as activities that were enjoyable. Speaking in many languages, he made all his guests feel like family. What a wonderful place to stay! There are good restaurants within a couple of blocks and a beach right across the street. I highly recommend staying here while you’re in Paraty. It was beyond my expectations.

Location is very good but accommodation is not long enough. Breakfast and service are excellent.
