Customer review

14 January 2008 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: location is very good although the closest beach isnt swimmable. the second closest beach however is not far away and is much less crowded than the big ones in town which arent long to get to either. the rooms are cool and the breakfast fills you up nicely. the owner was most helpful and informative, we remain grateful to her help with regards to future accommodation of our trip. this place is not far from lots of cool grafitti as well if youre into that sort of thing. and shiploads of juicestalls around here as well. defionately recommend this place and probably would give full marks if it werent for the fact that this is the first hostel i have been to in brazil, so cannot really compare to others.
