Ecocharme Pousada do Marcilio

Nice location near the airport, away from the night noise. There's a pretty good restaurant attached to it for both food and drinks. We stayed at a very spacious room. Clean, comfortable and silent. One minor issue was the shower: it had to be either turned off or extremely hot. Should be fixed. Aside from that, would stay again.

Rooms are comfortable and clean, just not very big. We had a double and a single bed...very good. Air conditioner is good and kept us cool in very high local temperatures. TV has no premium channels, but enough to entertain us before bed. And we didn't come to stay watching TV anyway....lol. Breakfast is good with food and drinks for all tastes. There is also an afternoon coffee offered at 5pm which helped to wait till dinner time. For tips on Island and Boat tours, GABI (lady that works at the front desk ) was extremely helpful, giving tips and information about them.

We, a group of 4, arrived by nightfall from the airport. The receptionist didn’t speak English. But not to worry, they guided us to our windowless rooms. The photos attached are from the room where the air con was only smelly but working. They told us it was the only two rooms available. Only later did we see Brazilians checking in and they got one of the “nicer” rooms in the back. The place is also directly next to the only big street on the island. The room next to the kitchen of the restaurant (busy from 6.30am). The breakfast is the Brazilian standard and thus a disaster. Only the coffee is drinkable. The other room had an air condition that smelled so bad that it caused my father to have a constant cough. He ended up sleeping in the hammock. Additionally, after the stay, my father, my girlfriend and I had bites on our legs and arms. Might be no correlation but it does not seem unlikely that we encountered bed bugs there. Imagine your a week of your holidays in this place. Please book somewhere else.
