Pousada Estrela do Mar was a nice bed & breakfast. The best parts of the hotel are definitely the staff, the location close to the beaches in Barra & the Barra Lighthouse, and the breakfast! The hotel itself is otherwise quite basic. We stayed in a 1 bed- room and though there was a small balcony, the room itself was small. Also, make sure they turn on the hot water for the shower! We didn't have hot water our first day because it wasn't turned on.

Thanks for staying with us and your feedback. I am glad you enjoyed the location, breakfast and the bed. Our "Basic" room is indeed quite basic. As you mention it is small. The "Superior" rooms are slightly more expensive but they are bigger. This is an old house which was restored and turned into a guesthouse. All the rooms are different sizes. Our showers have 3 temperature settings on them - cold, war and hot. I imagine a previous guest turned it to cold. I am really sorry that the maid who prepared the room for your arrival did not observe that. As you remember we rectified the problem as soon as you informed us
