- "Whilst the photos show always the biggest rooms, our room for 3 people was of a good size. The only thing I missed was a wardrobe. These are fast becoming obsolete! :). We even had a small fridge. The quirkiness of the hotel was AMAZING. Arriving, I was a bit apprehensive ( the front gate, is on first approach off putting). But I grew more and more in love with the place by the minute. The staff were SO HELPFUL. Telling us to remove jewellery/ take an Uber NOT walk to the lighthouse in Barra. ALL SOUND ADVICE x The breakfast has mini Brazilian favourites ( kibe/ cochina/ etc) A lovely place to stay. They even have a pool table"
