Truly an immersive experience, having the tropic forest and a beach within a few minutes of each other was fantastic. All the housing is tastefully curated and the pool is a great edition to your routine. Every morning there are home made fresh exotic juices, breads and yogurts...eggs made to order. The owners are lovely and will help in anyway they can.

Limpeza do quarto estava muito caprichada, mas a limpeza das áreas comuns deixou a desejar. Outra sugestão: colocação de itens no frigobar, não tinha nem mesmo água. Para quem está sem carro, o acesso a vila é mais difícil por ter que pegar um trecho de estrada, mas não chega a ser distante.

Conforto e simplicidade num paraíso natural

Estrutura com casas completas, separadas, dentro de uma área de preservação ambiental, com acesso direto à praia, localizada no povoado de Santo André, o qual tem estrutura bem básica, mas alguns ótimos restaurantes. Se for cozinhar em casa, recomendo fazer a maior parte das compras em Porto Seguro ou Santa Cruz Cabrália. Tem café da manhã opcional na cafeteria em frente à piscina, valendo a pena experimentar. É um ótimo lugar para famílias, com bom custo-benefício. É um local para descanso e contemplação da natureza.

Paraíso

Lugar mágico! Estive no Mata Encantada, no início de janeiro de 2020. Éramos 2 casais, um amigo e dois cachorros. Alugamos uma das casas que nos comportou perfeitamente. Casa completamente equipada e extremamente confortável. A pousada está localizada na a cerca de 3 km da balsa de Santo André, antes da Vila de Santo Antônio. Fica em uma APA e praticamente não tem vizinhos. A praia é muito tranquila, quase deserta neste ponto. A pousada fica literalmente no meio de uma mata, na beirada da praia. Comandada por um casal de suíços extremamente simpáticos e atenciosos que cuidam do lugar como se fosse um filho. O café da manhã e bar da piscina ficam por conta da Mayo, que além de ser um doce faz geléias, pães, iogurtes e outras gostosuras para o café da manhã. Também cuida para que a cerveja e vinhos estejam sempre gelados e dos tira gostos na beira da piscina. A pousada possui um mirante de tirar o fôlego e algumas espreguiçadeiras na beira da praia. Tudo é extremamente bem cuidado e indicado para quem procura paz e tranquilidade. Minha única observação é em relação às camas. Poderiam ser maiores e mais confortáveis. No mais tenho somente elogios e pretendo voltar o quanto antes.
