Liked: The staff was really helpfull and kind, the proximity to the beach is nice but the beach itself isn't the nicest. Good friendly atmosphere at the beach bar, always musicians playing, if you hate bob marley don't come here( but who hates bob marley?? Really??).
Disliked: Unfortunately we fell violently ill after the second night, we think it might of been due to the the plates for supper were not properly dried, the hostel staff told us they would make sure it wouldn't happen again but I would still be carefull.

Liked: We were originally placed in a cramped dorm with no lockers and no where to put our bags. However when we asked the staff to move they took us to a much better spacious dorm with a lock and lockers. This was great though we were then told we had to move back to the cramped dorm as the hostel was full. The hostel then gave us a complimentary dinner and drink to apologise for this which i thought was extremely good of them. All the staff were great and more than happy to go beyond the call of duty to make sure we were happy.
Disliked: The cramped dorm as stated above...

Liked: Good breakfast on the beach :) made the mornings amazing and the staff are really lovely.
Disliked: I´d recommend common areas to hang out in...but then you have the beach on your doorstep! A few knives in the kitchen would be nice though (there was only one useful one to chop up your food)

Liked: The location is perfect. Right on the beach and still very close to the historic center of Paraty. There's very nice breakfast on the beach, and at night, there's a very nice bar on the beach! I would definitely stay here again.
Disliked: there's renovations going on, so you can't use all of the hostel. Fortunately they don't make to much noise, so it doesn't really bother anyone and it just means that soon, the hostel is going to be even better.

Liked: Very good location, helpful staff, good price and nice location for breakfast, free internet access (maybe because it was an make-over durin our stay and they wanted to compensate it to the guests).
Disliked: Breakfast wasn't so good for me after I tried it in Bahia. I didn't like the situation when in the middle of the night one guy came to our room without any luggage and just jumped on the bunk bad anockced woke up our roommate. All of us were shocked because it looked like anybody rom the street can come in and take our stuff. At the reception they told that they knew him, without any explanation for us. We didn't feel safe because of that.

Liked: The property could not be in a better location. Right on the beach. Having breakfast sat under the trees whilst looking at the ocean is pretty awesome. The hostel is currently under renovation, hence the reason for the lower score, however, the staff are really friendly and very helpful with tours etc.
Disliked: No lockers in the rooms. You have to pay extra to have a locker which is not in your room
