Localização excente.

A pousada é simples mas cumpre o seu papel. Cafe da manha foi Ok. Unico ponto que recomendo a pousada é uma modernização dos quartos com um conforto maior, os colchoes são desconfortaveis, principalmente pelo preço da diaria. De resto, tudo ok. Atendimento cordial e localização perto da Vila.

Boa localização, mas alguns inconvenientes

Reservei um quarto com uma cama de casal e uma de solteiro e janela ou sacada. Chegando la, me colocaram num quarto minusculo com cama de casal sem nenhuma janela,umido e parecendo um caixote. Dormi uma noite,mas no dia seguinte pedi pelo meu quarto certo e falaram que me mudariam, que me colocaram neste quarto,pois eu estava sozinha.Falei que queria pelo menos uma janela,que abriria mao das camas,pq nao queria dormir num caixote.E o hotel so tinha eu,nao entendi o pq disso.Outra questao é que ha uma obra enorme da prefeitura em frente à pousada,que comeca às 7h com muito barulho,sujeira e lama.Nao é culpa da pousada,mas poderia ser avisada no momento da reserva,para ficarmos cientes.Um grande inconveniente é sobre o serviço de passeios,pois o rapaz do buggy ficou o dia inteiro enviando mensagem falando para fazer passeios para o meu telefone (que foi passado pela pousada), ficava me cercando no cafe da manha, e tanto ele quanto a funcionária da pousada marcavam os passeios sem eu querer! Isso era muito chato! Me senti desconfortavel! Fora isso, a pousada esta muito bem localizada.

Ruim de verdade.

Pousada muito fraca mesmo. Quanto muito apertado. Roupa de cama muito velha. Chuveiro péssimo. Café da manhã muito ruim. Pessoal de atendimento sem vontade de atender.

Pousada boa e simples

Quartos simples e razoavelmente confortáveis, com preços mais acessíveis na praia do forte. Café da manha simples. Possui também uma sacada para deitar na rede. Pra quem quiser economizar com uma hospedagem básica, fica a indicação. Ela esta bem localizada bem próxima ao centrinho da praia do forte.

Agradecimento

A estadia foi muito boa, pessoal super atencioso, prestativo, educado, simpático. Café da manhã simples mas gostosinho, Meire foi super atenciosa atendendo um pedido meu, fazer cuscuz de tapioca. Já Édson da recepção também excedeu as expectativas além de Rosa, a gerente. Muito obrigada a toda equipe! Bjs carinhosos.
