Pousada Recanto Barra da Tijuca

“Localização boa , apenas isso.”

The atmosphere was calm and quiet, but the Vega bed was uncomfortable, the pillows were very old, and the sheets were dirty and stained.

“Sensacional”

The view of the lagoon was great, and there was nothing else to note.

“Não recomendo!”

The only thing that worked was the location; the room was dirty, the bed was horrible, the sheets and pillowcases were grimy, and the electric shower didn’t work.

“Excelente experiência e custo benefício! Gratidão”

I liked the air conditioning, the silence, the facilities, the value for money, and everything I needed. I didn’t realize that getting there required a boat, but that was my oversight; I found out at the moment and handled it easily. The bedding had a few stains, yet everything was otherwise very clean. The front‑desk staff were helpful and I felt comfortable, making it an excellent experience.

“Uma boa aventura.”

I didn’t get breakfast, and I couldn’t find any indication that it was served outside the lodge, or was it? There was a lack of staff at the reception during the day, making it hard to arrange taxis or Uber to leave the island.
