"Rooms were ok, beds not super comfortable but lockers quite big - some of them weren’t working tho. Breakfast was awesome, buffet style with lots to choose from. The ladies running the breakfast and cleaning is lovely, so sweet and trying their best to communicate through google translate. The lady in the reception is not very nice and was being rude to me during my stay, for absolutely no reason. She doesn’t speak a word of English either so really hard to communicate - I know English is rare...

Pousada Arraial Inn

Pousada Arraial Inn

10/10 Excellent
"When we arrived we were greeted by Pedro. He made us feel very welcome and was super helpful. This was our first visit to Arraial do Cabo so he took plenty of time to orient us to the town and sent us a digital copy of a map highlighting all the points of interest. All the staff bent over backwards to accommodate and questions or needs we had. The inn is a cozy little oasis in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. It is decorated beautifully, well maintained and kept clean. We loved the little personal note left in the room when we arrived and another the next day by the cleaning staff. I highly recommend this Pousada!"
