Staff are nice people. The room was dated, dirty walls and other places that the cleaning staff can't really help. Exposed box spring of the bed. Room key requires a certain je-ne-sais-quoi for it to work on the door. More of a property owner issue? Otherwise, sheets and towels were OK. A/C was cool. Internet was adequate. Shower had hot water and strong pressure. Location was less than 10-minute walk to Praia Grande, just a bit more to Praia de Anjos. Ample parking. Building and property are quaint. It's no Holiday Inn or Motel 8.

Agradecer à equipe de funcionários, principalmente à recepcionista Tainá, que nos ajudou também a fechar um passeio de barco em cima da hora. Foram extremamente cordiais e solícitos conosco e com o nosso pet, diferente de outra pousada que se diz petfriendly em arraial, que liguei antes de reservar a pousada gênesis e só o atendimento por telefone já tinha sido um descaso, fiquei imaginando se a gente tivesse se hospedado nela ao invés da genêsis. Mas ainda bem que fechamos a genêsis e o atendimento presencial SUPEROU o atendimento por whatsapp que já é ótimo. Outro fato foi que pedimos pra trocar os travesseiros e nos deram opção de travesseiros mais moles e conseguimos trocar. Pra finalizar, conseguiram um check in mais cedo no nosso caso o que foi total diferencial também e ficamos muito gratos. Obrigada Tainá e toda equipe, funcionária do café da manhã simpática, o dono (que aparentava ser) que aparecia no café da manhã simpático, enfim, experiência muito positiva. Voltaremos com certeza, pousada com custo benefício excelente e mentalidade de overdelivery, ou seja, entregar além do que foi solicitado ou contratado. Faço questão de agradecê-los, nada como nos sentirmos à vontade e bem vindos em um lugar.

Ótimo custo benefício. Localização central, próximo a restaurantes, mercado, padaria, comércio. Estávamos sem carro e foi super prático. 5 minutos a pé da Praia Grande, 10 min a pé da Praia dos Anjos (onde tem o “centrinho” de arraial do cabo e de onde saem os barco táxi e passeios de barco), 15 min a pé da entrada da trilha pra Praia do Forno e 30 min a pé da Prainha. A pousada é agradável, limpa, silenciosa, com café da manhã justo e tem vaga de carro pra quem vai de carro. Eu fui e voltei do Rio com empresa de transfer e não me fez falta nenhuma não de carro. Fui passar um dia em Búzios com motorista contratado lá em arraial mesmo e foi super tranquilo. Recomento muito a Pousada Gênesis.
