Xamã Senses - Hotel Pousada

Stayed for 5 nights in Jan 2021. The pousada is lovely! Room are nice and well appointed, the gardens around the pool area very relaxing, as are the hammocks outside each room. The breakfast was very good too. Rooms had coffee making facilities. The hotel staff were all friendly and helpful, and provided recommendations on eg tour guides. There were some nice extra touches - eg coffee and cakes put out for guests in the afternoon, room towels artfully arranged into animal shapes on the bed each day etc. There's a small games room and gym area by the pool which is great to have, but both are in need of updating and maintenance due to some broken or missing equipment. We stayed in high season which meant some days we had to wait a little while for a breakfast table - not complaining though because the staff were taking care to ensure tables were socially distanced and this meant reduced seating capacity. The pousada is about 10 min walk from the main restaurant area of Pipa; it's very near the road to Praia do Amor.
