Lovely stay!
We loved everything about our stay!! The friendly staff who spoke excellent English, all the freebie coupons to free drinks, ice cream, and dessert at Pupus, a very special restaurant next to the hotel. Super beautiful and charming decor. We even forgot something and they mailed it to us. We hope to go back again some day and can’t recommend it highly enough!!

Great place in Paraty
Located in the middle of the Old Town in Paraty, Sandi was a real surprise. Extremely well equipped hotel, with multiple pools, spas, lovely landscaped gardens, friendly staff, it’s spread over an entire block in the middle of town. The bed and room were extremely comfortable, the bathrooms were modern and very functional. We were offered a free ice cream and a drink as part of our check in and the hotel breakfast was fresh, tasty and convenient. The staff were cheerful and friendly and helped us find information on tours etc we could do during our stay. Being centrally located, the “markets” that spring up nightly are right on the doorstep of the hotel creating a very vibrant experience, the hotel is also surrounded by bars, restaurants and shops, so there is plenty to look at and do during your stay.

Staff was amazing! Since the time we got there until we left... IGOR from the breakfast was over the top, super friendly and made us feel special, he knew all about the local food. Room was amazing!!! 206 is the best in the hotel and we couldn’t be happier with the service. Gabriel from the boat tour was fast on his response and got us a nice trip for the following morning! I don’t have anything to complain... nothing in USA could be compared to the service of this little charming hotel!! Good job all :))

Bad experience - would not stay again
The decor and location of the pousada is great. However there were some problems when we stayed for 2 nights: - ourbroom was not cleaned despite being out for most of the time (presumably they felt this was not needed as it was a 2 night stay?) - the staff were not able to stop a large group of guests from being loud at a very late hour around the pool area, bearing in mind this is an open air area with paper thin walls. After repeated complaints I had to speak to the group myself with little assistance - the room was very musky with a mouldy smell Overall would not stay again and a bad experience unfortunately

Sleeping with windows facing AC . Serial liars
We got a room with the two windows facing two huge AC units standing in the courtyard (happy to send pictures). The noise was unbearable, even when closing the windows. it was like sleeping with an old fridge next to your ear. I immediately asked for a different room, telling that I was willing to pay for an upgrade. But they said that the pousada was fully booked (most likely their first lie). They assured me that during the night they would anyway turn off the AC (second lie). The next day I complained again, telling them that the AC units had been active all night long. Their third lie was telling me that they were about to cover the AC units to reduce the noise. They obviously never did that and at that point I gave up. They are just a bunch of liars. Avoid at all cost there are plenty of alternatives.

lovely 2 night stay
Had a lovely stay at the pousada. The staff were very friendly and helpful. we arrived on the Wednesday and struggled to find the hotels parking lot, after a call to the reception a member off staff came out to meet as at the car and help take our luggage to the hotel and parked the car for us. The pousada is in the historic centre of Paraty, which is nice to wander around in the evening. On the Thursday the staff guided us to one of the nucer local beaches which was near by, really enjoyed the break.

OK
All in all, this was an expensive hotel that was quite overpriced. If you look around you can find some others that are a little further away from the central location for a fraction of the price with comparable amenities and similar breakfasts. The part that really ticked me off: upon checking out they handed me an additional bill for 150 R (after I made the reservation on Expedia). I didn't understand what it was for at first and the hotel attendant explained that this was the "service fee" for the hotel. The staff member again handed me the bill. I got the help of a Brazilian who then spoke to her and.... as it turns out... this was bill was actually "optional" AKA a Grigo ripoff trap. I found this to be kind of insulting and vowed to write a negative review and not come back. I hate this kind of stuff.

Excellent place to stay in Paraty
This is a beautifully maintained historic property in the heart of old Paraty. It's in convenient walking distance of most that would be of interest to a visitor, especially including a number of good restaurants. The bright colors of the hotel make it a great place to wake up. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with lots of fresh fruit, breads, eggs made-to-order, and interesting food options. Wi-fi worked pretty well. Service from staff was excellent, and enough English was spoken that this non-Portuguese speaker had no trouble communicating essential things. The only difficulty was finding the designated parking area when I arrived after dark. It's off of an alley several blocks from the hotel - a necessary setup because the hotel is in a pedestrian-only zone, but a little challenging when you first arrive in an unfamiliar city. You have to turn left at the post office, but I only found the post office by asking people I saw standing near where it was supposed to be - it's not well-marked, at least when closed. All in all, though, my stay here was excellent, and I wish it could have been longer.
