“Localização Esplêndida”
The highlight of this lodge is its spot and breakfast; it sits on a hilltop at the end of Praia do Pontal toward Jabaquara, with a clever access system: the garage is at the highest point after the beach, yet a pedestrian gate on the lower side leads straight to the historic center by a quick walk. The location is truly flawless, free from the noise and bustle of the town center, surrounded by plants and birds. Breakfast is generous, featuring tapiocas, omelets, fresh fruit, breads, and natural yogurt, and we even got to share the room with playful capuchin monkeys. The room is comfortable, the shower pleasant, and we enjoyed a great balcony overlooking the city. The huge bed gave us a restorative sleep. Safety is another plus; we briefly used the room’s AC with the balcony door open, and the staff kindly asked us to close it, showing proper control of common areas. We booked boat tours through the lodge and everything went smoothly, with very reasonable prices. The staff were very friendly. On the downside, the breakfast could benefit from higher‑quality coffee; this is a common issue in Brazilian lodges that only offer lower‑grade beans, though it does increase costs. In Paraty, one expects better gastronomy, especially after the last holiday’s absurd prices and the effort restaurants put into excellent service. The lodge has a solid standard and deserves a visit, but the rates are high, so the value feels off. Minor repairs are needed in the rooms: a lamp was almost non‑functional and some bathroom items, like the box door, were stiff. I suggest the apartment balconies be better used as social spaces; we only had an uncomfortable hammock and an old wooden chair. Adding two simple, comfortable chairs and a small bistro would give the balcony a big upgrade. I hope the management takes our feedback into account to improve the service further.
