Lovely beach

Clean and safe and in a great location right on the beach. Beautiful walks are possible along a long and sandy beach. Swimming is a bit challenging due to the rocks. But you can go out at low tide. Short walk to the village nearby. Breakfast was fine. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Heaven on Earth

Super service, friendly and helpful staff, good and quiet location, breathtaking view. Wake up early and watch the sea turtles in the sea. Beds are comfortable, rooms are clean and it’s great to relax on the hammock. Breakfast is amazing. Monkeys come to have some fruit every afternoon. Words can’t define how great this place is. We are definitely coming back.

Nice boutique hotel right on the beach

The Porta do Lua is a charming, small boutique hotel right on the beach. The complimentary breakfast is plentiful and varied. The staff is very nice and try to accommodate English as best they can. The tide swings are amazing in Bahia, when the tide goes out mid-morning, vendors show up on the beach with masks and snorkels so folks can snorkel in the tide pools. You can walk on the rocky bottom to get to the tide pools, but it helps to have swim shoes or Crocs. The beaches are very nice and you can walk forever in either direction. You can walk to the downtown area in approx. 5 minutes, lots of restaurants and artisan shops. Very nice area for a romantic get away.

Worth a try...

We had a wonderful experience. The hotel staff is super nice, but this was not unusual in Brazil where everyone treated us well. Most people do not speak English in Brazil but that did not get in the way of a good stay. The rooms are "rustic" with hard floors, '70s style, and while the size is adequate, they are small. We had two of our best meals there at this hotel. The service and the setting are ordinary, but the food was simply great. They offer free tea and coffee at 4pm daily. Internet access is free. If you are considering this hotel, remember that this is a resort type place and is located within a village like setting with some unpaved roads and when it rains it is a mess (but we considered that a part of the fun! People walk to the village center which consist of numerous shops and restaurants to walk around and shop. The mood is informal with 95% of people walking in flip flops. Two negatives about this area and this hotel if that there is no swimming pool and the beach appears rocky in some areas at low tide. It had rained for three days before we got there so the ocean was choppy, windy, and muddy. Still we saw people swimming. In low tide, pools are water are created within the rocks which is a marvel to explore on foot and see small creatures. The other negative is the cab ride cost of about US$100 each way to Salvador airport (65km). Our driver spoke English which was a nice change and the cost was small as compared to our overall expenditures in Brazil!

Excelente opción, de lo mejor de Praia

El lugar es espectacular, la atencion, excelente. Desayuno inmejorable y la comida de la posada no solo es muy buena sino que ademas tiene buen precio. El alojamiento está impecable, no hay una persona que no te atienda bien. Usé la habitacion de 1er piso, tienen hamaca paraguaya en el balcón y vista al mar que es una maravilla. Sin dudas, para volver. Consejo para casi todo Praia do Forte: llevar calzado para el mar, hay mucha piedra pero con ese calzado estás perfecto.

Pousada muito bem localizada e ótimos funcionários

Foram dias maravilhosos na Pousada Porto da Lua. O serviço é ótimo e a comida também. Quartos limpos e aconchegantes com vista para o mar. Só senti falta mesmo de uma piscininha de água doce, mas passava boa parte do dia nas piscinas naturais bem na frente do hotel. Se está na dúvida só vá, pois vc não irá se arrepender.

Estadia muito agradável

Passamos alguns dias muito agradáveis e confortáveis na pousada. Aproveitamos muito a praia, principalmente nos períodos de maré baixa, quando forma piscinas naturais em frente ao hotel e também nas praias próximas. Fundamental levar sapatilhas para passar pelas pedras com segurança. Vimos vários tombos. A pousada nos proporcionou conforto e facilidade para usufruirmos da praia em frente, alternando entre praia, espreguiçadeiras do hotel, restaurante/bar do hotel. Acesso fácil ao centro da Praia do Forte, onde se encontra o comércio e diversos restaurantes e bares. Quarto simples mas confortável, adequado para o tipo de hospedagem na praia. Equipe do hotel muito eficiente e atenciosa, auxiliando a tornar a estadia mais agradável. Deixamos o carro estacionado em uma vaga em frente ao hotel, dentro do condomínio onde se localiza. Através de QR Code recebido do hotel, pudemos entrar e sair do condomínio para circularmos entre o hotel e o centro da cidade. Com uma curta caminhada pela areia da praia, na maré baixa, é possível chegar ao centro da cidade e ao Projeto Tamar.
