    Excellent staff in a family run business who went out of their way to help us, especially helping us when we needed to go to the hospital to get some treatment, taking us there and back and translating with nurses. It really helped that the staff spoke good English and very friendly. Great location.Also recommend you to take the boat trip tour as referred by staff who have the best contacts.

    it wasn't anything that we did not like

    My top 3 things I really loved about the Pousada Arraial Inn was 1st the Room which was ideal for my wife and I, my 2nd favourite was the location it was at a suitable distance from the busy restaurants, traffic and food trucks, my 3rd favourite was the amazing staff that looked after us during our stay, they helped out with our enquiries, when we entered our room they catered to our honeymoon with fresh roses on the bed, made swans out of the towels and provided us with wine and fondu which my wife and I loved and hesitated on disturbing as it was such a lovely thing to see. To add a bonus point to the list was the food for breakfast was just what my wife and I adored about the Inn, It was simple but amazing... and if you needed more the staff were happy to supply with a top up!.

    The complete experience was amazing. Having travelled from Rio and visiting this place it was nice and quiet, and easy to walk around. We used boat taxis to visit beaches, which were beautiful, highly recommend.

    The owners were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast each day was excellent, with a variety of fresh breads, cakes, eggs, and fruit, with great coffee and tea. All of the staff was courteous and efficient. Parking was on the street in front, but always monitored by the staff. Restaurants and shops are available about a 10 minute walk away along the beachfront. One great restaurant is Tio Dorp.

    I wish we had more days. Arraial Do Cabo is absolutely gorgeous and quiet. We really enjoyed our time here.

    -> Very friendly receptionists and maids. I was unhappy with the cleaning and the maid left a very sweet message for me with some chocolates. So, so sweet of her. -> The location is absolutely great.

    The bed was actually twin beds put together, therefore with a space in between.

    The staff is kind and helpful, providing all that's needed for a pleasant stay and also helping in booking tours (like boat tour and scuba diving). Cozy accommodation, comfortable room with good shower, complete breakfast, great value for money.

    The intermittent towels room service and no available free water for the clients any time.

    I like Pousada Arraial In. The staff was very kind (they gave good recommendations for tours and food) Good breakfast with typical food of Brazil. The location is great, very closed to Praia pescadores and Do Forno (you can walk to both beaches). In Praia pescadores you can take any boat tour. Parking is on the street (no private parking available), however it was safe to leave the car outside during the stay. The room was clean (but the towels were not change daily). The vapor or sauna was working perfect. I recommended this pousada for short vacations or it is a good option (cost-services).

    The pool is very , SUPER small . The girl from the reception is not super friendly . Zero communication , we had an active at 8am on the day after our arrival but she didn’t send us the address, we had to be at the reception waiting someone in the morning of our activity at 7:30 am to get the address. It could be avoided if she had sent the address before . The breakfast is okay but has potential to be better .

    - we arrived at 12.30 and no effort were made to make our room ready quicker and we had to wait 2 hours - the man receptionist did not speak a word of English and made no effort to communicate - room are very small - when we entered the room, there was so much parfum we had to open all window and go out - AC is leaking and sometimes not working - cold water in the shower and in the swimming pool - they have a nice coffee machine but you can’t use it for breakfast (unless you discuss with the manager for 10 min) - way overpriced I don’t know where all the good reviews are coming from
