Reviews of Pousada Manaca

The wonderful location (access from the beach), the authentic and old-fashioned style of both the rooms and the pousada itself. The kindness of the owner, Gérard, who told us about his story and about the changes to the island over the years. The view from our room was stunning and we will never forget it. The brekfast is homemade every day and was excellent.

I am a light sleeper and could hear somehow the sound of nearby basses coming from live music concerts.

The pousada is ideally on the beahc located, you feel just like home. Gerard welcomes you like familly, breakfast is great.

Perfect location, hearing and seeing the sea from my room. Good choice of breakfast. Loved having a hammock to relax in. Was v quiet. Loved being able to have breakfast looking out over the water.

Staff were very pleasant, but pretty impersonal. They weren’t rude or anything, just gave me my key with a smile, but no extra chat!

Good location

Excellent breakfast. Good choice of breakfast items including hame-made cakes and breads. Eggs cooked to order and Fresh juice and real coffee too. The room was quiet and comfortable set in a very calm pleasant garden.

Nothing.

The location is definitely what made the stay a bit more pleasant!

• Key management system: Guests aren’t allowed to keep their room keys, and retrieving them often took too long due to the owner’s inefficient system. • Breakfast service: Limited menu with no flexibility; orders could only be made once, and even basic items like coffee took an unreasonably long time. • Service quality: Staff were generally cold and distant. As a Brazilian, I felt the lack of warmth and friendliness that one would expect from Brazilian hospitality.

The location, breakfast and cleaness

Amazing location right on the beach. Beautiful view from our room - it was lovely to relax in the hammock after a day exploring. Great breakfast.

The location was perfectly placed right on.the beach at the quieter end. The staff were very attentive and caring.

Bedside lights just need replacing.

Pousada Manaca is idyllically located right on the beach, with a beautiful view of the bay and the sound of the ocean as you sleep. The breakfast was great, and we loved the short walk along the sand to town.

The island’s power went out two of the three nights of our stay. The first night the hotel staff ran the hotel’s generator until about midnight, and then cut power so we lost the air conditioning. The second night the hotel’s generator wouldn’t start, so we had to sweat it out in 35 C weather with no wind which was not great.

Right on the beach, lovely garden. Small but nice clean rooms with hammock on the balcony (sea view). Excellent breakfast choices.

Nothing

Such a lovely and pecefuly place. The owner is present and takes care of everything - including a magnificient breakfast on a veranda on the beach.

This property is a dream. Location. View. The owner puts so much thought and care into everything and of course the nicest staff. I will be back!

Location, view, room was freshly painted. Breakfast was ok but a little slow and only available from 8:15 to 10 am relatively late if you want to take an early morning tour.

The bed was small and insanely hard. Not a bed you like to see in the 21st century. It was also quite expensive for the quality of the service they were offering. We stayed in a four star hotel in Rio for roughly the same price per night.

The owner of the property is very accommodating and always made sure we had what we needed. Very friendly staff and great location. Lovely breakfast included.

Lovely little oasis in busy surroundings of Abraão. Gerard and staff are most helpful. Room is comfy. Breakfast is great! Loved it!

Breakfast was excellent with lots of options. WiFi was really strong and consistent. Gerard who runs the place is very nice and has a lovely manner. The staff gave me breakfast early as requested for me to catch an early boat.

You have to cross a little stream going into the sea if coming from the main port so this means you have to take your shoes off to get there. There is a long way round to avoid this. This is obviously common to all accommodation on that part of the beach so nothing the guys can do about it.
