Pousada Barra Bonita

This hotel, due to a not large number of rooms, feels very cozy, like a small villa. When you check-in, they ask which drinks you want, and bring them up to your minifridge already. From there it's a quick walk to the beach, and you're at the huge stretch of sand leading up to the crowded parts on the right side, with the day trips to Gunga beach, etc. My suggestion to make this place even nicer is that they should partner up, or at least get some contacts for day trips. Otherwise you'll have to find them out for yourself, which is just a hassle when you want the convenience of a few options to start with. That means, you'll have to walk some 15-20 minutes (or more) to the crowded touristic area and ask around by yourself. The hotel also got a pizzeria on the ground floor, and the pizza is delicious there. Good for those days when you come back from a long walk or a lazy day in the sun and forgot to drop by any small market to buy snacks.
