I had high hopes for this place, but I must say I was more underwhelmed than overwhelmed with our stay. This may be partially due to the fact that we did not go during high season, but I am not sure. Per TA reviews, we emailed ahead and requested a high bungalow for the group. The owner was very nice and reserved our high bungalows as requested. The views were beautiful from the bungalows, which themselves were cute and had what you needed. I don’t think the walk to or from the town was bad, we didn’t take a taxi once. Now to the negatives…the managers and English-speaking service has been raved about (on TA and their website), but unfortunately for us we did not have the same experience. The Pousada was like a deserted complex while we were there…lacking the English speaking staff and friendly owners. There was a bar set up, yet no one ever there working it. The breakfast was also very disappointing. If you got there 30 minutes after breakfast started, you were out of luck. Eggs and the hotdog style breakfast were never put out fresh if you missed it the first time. Fruit was good, the rest was extremely lacking. Coffee cups, plates, and utensils we also never replenished so you had to eat with your fingers and go without coffee. Wish I could have given a better review but this was our experience. Just okay.
