Pousada Recanto Forte

It was a good beach hotel. The price was good and everything was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was really good and fresh. Security was well maintained. Praia da Cachoeira do Bom Jesus is a super touristy area, which means it is well maintained and super safe. You can walk around without any problems. Stand at the crosswalks and people will eventually stop and let you through. Brazilians are very nice people and they are willing to help you have a safe and good trip. If you speak Spanish you will also do good as this is a hotspot for Argentinians. I digress. The hotel is a nice clean place with good AC and a parking lot where you can park a car if you rent one. I will warn you, traffic can be pretty intense during the summer as this is a destination beach. This is a nice beach hotel and I would come to stay again. There was an off-putting smell in the bathroom when we first arrived. I realized the "p" trap had dried out in the shower drain, so after a little use, the water trap filled up and the air cleared out and we had no more problems. Really not that big of a deal. Just some friendly advice. The AC is left off to conserve energy when not in use, so the room can get pretty warm. However, once activated with the key fob it works very well to cool it all down.
