My husband and I stayed at Privillage for 8 nights in late november and had a really great time. It was our third time in Arraial D`Ajuda and by far the best!
The sea spot right in front of the hotel has some of the most insanely beautiful shades of green and blue one can see - it`s truly hypnotizing! The pool is right by the sea and surrounded by beautiful palm trees - youre there, you're hearing the waves. The hotel is a 5 minute walk from Pitinga Beach, our favorite in Arraial', with beautiful calm sea and a fantastic combination of lush green vegetation and the dry, stunning sand hills (falésias). Walking for about 30 minutes from Pitinga you reach Taipe, another beautiful beach spot.
As a previous reviewer stated, you can have 3 perfect meals at Privillage if you don't wish to leave the hotel. Apart from the beautiful breakfast, which is included in the price, you can choose snacks and meals from a very tastefully assembled menu - work of Vinicius, who owns Privillage with Andrea, his wife. Both are great hosts and make you feel like you`re staying at a friend`s place! I forgot a jacket there when I was leaving and they were really attentive at making it get back to me - through another guest from São Paulo!
We had room 227, right next to the reception area, and liked it a lot. Comfortable, spacious enough for a couple and with a lovely little terrace with a hangmat. If you can`t miss your favorite TV shows even on vacation, you're set at Privillage: they have LCD TVs with channels like Warner, Sony, Telecine and others in all rooms.
All in all we had a great time and highly recommend Privillage if you're planning a visit to Arraial D'Ajuda. Perfect location, great food, good service, comfortable rooms and gracious hosts - what else do you need?
