Barreirinhas hotellia

Plussat: The resort was nice. Not a typical 5 star resort, but certainly the nicest in the area. The breakfast was great with a large selection of fruit and hot items. We had a quadruple room for our family of four which was very spacious with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Ac worked well.

Miinukset: The resort is on the river which means there are a lot of mosquitoes, even in the dry season. We were there in August and our room was filled with them upon arrival. The cleaning staff leaves the door open when the clean. We killed all the mosquitoes in our room upon arrival and asked not to have our room cleaned during our stay. This was effective for keeping the pests out.

Plussat: For the price (80us$) the double is just fine. The swimming pool was nice.

Miinukset: The rooms are a little like a construction camp. The have little effort. Are big because the have plenty of space. Internet only in the hall. Breakfast was not according to the level. Short variety and only with quality was the fruit. Particularly bad the juices.

Plussat: Best Resort in the area, with two pools plus the river Pregiusas, to swim in. Food good, not expensive and portions were ENORMOUS. Room very clean, a little spartan for European tastes, but hey we're in Brazil. Also hotel had very efficient tour desk, to organise activities and trips to the sand dunes and Lencois National Park. Would stay there again of in the area

Miinukset: Poor wifi. Only works in lobby and pool area. A resort of this standard should really have it in the rooms, which is a problem if you are foreign, and need wifi to get internet.

Plussat: Awesome pools, well-maintained and with just the right temperatures. Great staff and attention. Clean rooms, quite large, with a great shower and clean-looking water. Good (if expensive) restaurant. Good (if basic) breakfast. Calm, mostly-foreign guests; no noise at night (at least in our room). They have a workshop where guests can learn to make small argyle pots/cups (and take them home). Air conditioning worked well.

Miinukset: Mosquitoes get into the room somehow, even though all windows are protected by screens (still, probably fewer mosquitoes than any other riverside spot in Barreirinhas). River deck was not as well maintained/staffed as other parts of the hotel. Restaurant is noticeably more expensive than others in town (though it's also better). Location is not central (cabs to the center of the town are BRL 20 per trip, BRL 40 round-trip). Forgot a cap near the pools and it didn't turn up, so must have gotten swiped by either guests or staff (which were awesome otherwise, but didn't seem to really try to locate that cap).

Plussat: This hotel was amazing in every way. The staff is extremely helpful, they even made me a free sandwich because I didnt eat anything before going out for the day. The hotel is located by the river, and I loved to swim in it. The rooms are very clean, and I left all my values in the room everyday and everything was still there when I got back. I see a lot of people saying that the location could be better, but honestly is a R$5 from the center, and it takes less than 5 minutes. I’ve seen other hotels located closer to the center but they are also closer to the noise. I think Toca dos Aventureiros is the perfect location to stay in Barreirinhas. Ps- please eat the tapioca for breakfast

Plussat: perfect. super friendly staff! super relaxed and beautiful place!!

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The staff was extra helpful. They arranged for tours an made "tapioca" for breakfast

Plussat: The hotel is located in the end of the town, really quiet place in the nature. The rooms are well decorated and very clean! The staff is really friendly and helpful! Although they do not speak English we manged to talk with them using Google translate.

Miinukset: The water flow in the shower had in the room really bad and slow (we saw that's a problem all over brasil) so after treep if you want to getrid of the sand ask them to use the shower in the reception first. The hotel is far from the main city and restaurants, but the hotel offers food delivery service so it was convenient (not so expensive). In the first night the service didn't work so they found another restaurant that pick us to there and bring us back. So the distance from the city is not so much a problem

Plussat: Everithing was very good. The staff helped us for arranging the dinners and the tours to the lencois that were Amazing! Breakfast homemade is really good.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff is very helpful for organizing activities or transfers with good prices! The breakfast is generous and very good! The view on the river is nice!

Plussat: The Pousada is quite, clean & u have your own hammock at your veranda. WiFi available at the comment area but weak in the room. It’s bit far from town but we asked for delivery to Pousada & it was convenience and all good. They helped to arrange for tour with reasonable price.

Miinukset: Pousada is bit far from town which required you to take a taxi if you wish to go out at night. We enjoyed our stays as we prefer not to go out since the town doesn’t look so pleasant. It would be good if WiFi cAn be assessed from the room so that we don’t need to seat at the comment area where there was lot of mosquitoes

Plussat: It's super clean, the staff is amazing.

Miinukset: The backyard can be imporved a little and location can feel far from the center but it's very close to bus station and lot of other shops and restaurants.

Plussat: You have a very informal relation with the staff, that can organize all your (personalized) walks in Lencois and will help you with everything you need. There is a fun in the bedroom and the breackfast is absolutely satisfying. They also give you a towel. Pretty clean. There is wifi.

Miinukset: There is just a bathroom for clients and staff. my window doesn't close properly and it's full of mosquitoes, since there is no net. Wifi doesn't work fulltime, but it's understandable considerated the isolation of Barreirinha. You can pay just in cash and in town there is just Banco do Brasil.

Plussat: Cineide and Edson were fabulous hosts to their traditional home. Really appreciated all the help when I was sick. Took me to hospital, made soup, went the extra mile. Always happy and smiling. A great welcome.

Miinukset: The hostel is a little bit from the Main Street but for me okay as less than 1km.

Plussat: Although we don't speak Spanish and the owners do not speak English, we got by with Google translate. They were very friendly and helped us book tours for a good price. We also cooked in the kitchen too.

Miinukset: There were mosquitoes in the rooms, so we slept under a mosquito net which we needed to keep adjusting to keep it sealed! The shower was luke warm, but fine given the time of year as it was hot and humid anyway. The breakfast was a bit simple.

Plussat: Best host we have ever had. Cineide was incredibly helpful, even before we had arrived at the hostel she was giving us tips and helping sort out transport for us. The hostel name is correct, we were in GREAT HANDS!! Accommodation was great value.

Plussat: The owner was very kind and friendly. She absolutely can't speak English, but she used translator and understood Spanish. Good breakfast, water server, luggage service. No mosquito in my room. 5mins walking to center.

Miinukset: There is only 1 fan in dom. Daytime was terribly hot. (At night, it was fine) I booked 6bed's and other 4ppl (they were nice) booked 10bed's, she put us 8bed's room together. I don't understand this situation.

Miinukset: There was no charger for phones close to the bed and a lot of mosquitos

Plussat: The hospitality was wonderful. The owners were very helpful and nice and kind.

Miinukset: The bathroom had ants

Plussat: The owner are incredibly nice and friendly, they helped us with everything and give us the best price in town!

Plussat: The pool was nice for the kids. We loved being surrounded by Brazilians only. The are really nice and easygoing fellow hotel guests.

Miinukset: The walls are super thin. We had a bit of a youth camp feeling, which some may find charming and others may hate.

Plussat: The room was clean, the bed was good, there was shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. I forgot my smartwatch there and was able to retrieve it a few days later.

Miinukset: The door to the varanda didn’t lock and I was in the first ground. Breakfast ending at 10am in a resort like place, I think it should end later.

Miinukset: WiFi not working, poor housekeeping, overpriced everything, and far from the center of town. The facility itself is beautiful but not worth the money. Do yourself a favor and stay at one of the many cheap pousadas in town and use the savings for extras tours, food, shopping. This is what we plan to do on our next trip to Barreirnhas.

Plussat: I needed to stay 1 night after a multi-day trek in the dunes. The place is clean with basic amenities.

Miinukset: Pricey for the quality and the area. The large hotel is based around a large pool area and kids areas. No foreign travelers there - very much a Brazilian « resort » destination. Walls are quite thin and heard the neighbors / those in the hallway.

Plussat: The pool with the swim up bar was nice after a whole day of tours. The rooms were big and spacious. Our bed was comfortable. Nice pier restaurant on the river with nice pizzas. Great views. Lots of options for breakfast.

Miinukset: This was definitely not a 4 star hotel. The rooms are very old and unclean. The sofa was very stained and we didn’t sit on it! The shower still had hairs on the walls when we arrived from previous guests. The pool was nice but the floats and sun beds had mould on (some of them) and could really use an update. The hotel could use a complete renovation! The WiFi was very slow/not working most of the time. Better signal outside of the hotel and in the sand dunes than at the hotel! The staff were rude and unhelpful most of the time. Check in was not friendly. The tour centre (one of the reasons we booked it) was useless. He sat on his phone while we waited to be served. Then refused to serve us because he didn’t speak English. We speak some Portuguese but he refused anyway so in the end we used a tour company from outside the hotel. When asked if we could pay for pool snacks at check out, staff said it was fine but then this was followed by hassling of reception staff both at 11:30pm at night and 7:30am in the morning!

Plussat: Location on riverside

Miinukset: Unfriendly. basic rooms and bathrooms. Poor service mostly.

Plussat: Hyvä uimaallas

Miinukset: Vanhat huoneet, huonot ilmastointikoneet

Plussat: a lot of things to do, nice hotel

Miinukset: kind of in the middle of nowhere lol

Plussat: It was beautiful.

Miinukset: Had a problem with the excursions.

Plussat: A nice location at the river and extensive garden area. Nice atmosphere, very quiet and private.

Miinukset: Really far walk to the restaurant. Old pool. Breakfast offers minimal variety and wouldn't be sufficient if you stay a whole week there. It is also far away from the center of Barreirinhas.

Plussat: The location and the entire setting is excellent. Beautiful garden and the bar/restaurant at the river is great. Breakfast buffet very good. Staff very friendly and helpful

Miinukset: The rooms are tiny. Not much space for two people. Air conditioning wasn't working very well....

Plussat: Top restaurant!

Miinukset: The swimming pool is dirty - no English speaker in the hotel - WiFi is not efficient (we had to wait for one hour to be able to check out)

Plussat: The garden and the river.

Miinukset: The breakfast.

Miinukset: Far away from the city center. Huge differences between theoretically equal types of rooms. There are other accomodation options in the city which are more value for money.

Plussat: Restaurant on the premises is handy when arriving late.

Miinukset: Owned by a absent foreigner, so poorly supervised. Personnel is somewhat dragging their feet. The finishing touch in service is definitely not there. E.g. a boiled egg during breakfast was "not possible". Had bedbugs in my room, before posting this experience online, I mailed the pousada twice to report this, but they didn't even react.

Plussat: The rooms are very large, furniture brand new, nice staff very kindly and regardful

Miinukset: The location is not so close from Barreirinhas city center, you will need a transport if you want to get there.

Miinukset: Pool was out of order during our stay.

Plussat: Lovely pousade, so beautiful and cozy with all the handmade statutes, plants. Kids loved the pool, nice after the trips to the dunes. Very good value for money. Host was very helpful and kind.

Miinukset: internet could be bit faster

Plussat: room and breakfast

Miinukset: location

Plussat: Amazing value for money - it's well located, staff is incredibly helpful, and very clean. I'd recommend it to everyone

Plussat: The hotel is perfect as a base to then explore the area. It is expensive but it seems to be normal for Barreirinhas. Other than the high price, it was totally in line with my expectations and extremely comfortable and charming.

Plussat: Gréât place

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Welcoming owner and staff, big smile, warm heart, clean room.

Miinukset: One of the slides was not active, distance to restaurants. Would welcome serving other meals on top of great breakfasts.

Plussat: Very comfortable environment. We had a room on the second floor with nice balcony. Quiet and clean. The breakfast included is a feast, the parrots can help if you can’t finish. Nice swimming pool and garden to chill. If you enjoy conversations the host is a very passionate guy with patience even we had to use google translate every time.

Miinukset: The location is ten minutes drive out of town. The closest food booths for dinner is out of walking distance in the dark at night. We were told by taxi is R$20 one way to town IF you can find one. Speaking Portuguese is quite necessary to get yourself around.

Plussat: this pousada is very charming. Staff is very efficient and the room is very clean. the breakfast had many things and they are delicious. Everything was fine.

Miinukset: there were some frogs because of the river and I didn´t know about it. despite of this, nothing to complain.

Plussat: River view is amazing. Rooms are basic and clean w hammock. Good layout. Close to centre.

Miinukset: Lot of construction still happening. Pool looked a bit dirty / cloudy.

Plussat: We found everything as we expected, or even better! Besides the breakfast, the hotel served lunch and dinner as optionals, which was very convenient. The staff was very helpful and polite.

Miinukset: The wi-fi almost never worked.

Plussat: Breakfast was okay, the pousada was simple and everything you really actually need in Barrerinhas, especially when you are not likely to spend much time in the room anyways. The aircon in the room was great and the hammocks for each room are a nice touch.

Miinukset: The bathroom was not very clean, just a lot of humidity and moisture leading to mould. The bed sheet did not fit the bed so my husband and I had to keep on adjusting the sheet so we didn't have to touch the old gross mattress. The double bed was two single beds put together so we couldn't snuggle at night as it was too uncomfortable.

Plussat: They help you to organise the transfers and the excursions. Good breakfast, good context and outdoor.

Miinukset: The room was not cosy even if it was clean.

Plussat: Very clean room, best location, helpfull personal

Plussat: The main atributes were the location and the cleanliness of the rooms. The receptionist, Conceição, was very helpfull. She answered all our questions and helped us plan our activities during the trip.

Miinukset: The area used for breakfast needs more space.

Plussat: The two receptionists are AWESOME! They saved my trip! Amazing client service. I will always stay here for sure!! They do a lot more than the job description! They are there to make clients happy. And the hotel is right in the middle of the city where everything happen! It’s the perfect place with the perfect employees!

Plussat: Simple and clean

Miinukset: Staff doesn’t speak English, but available and helpful

Miinukset: Room was not clean and very noisy, staff was not helpful.

Plussat: The staff was very nice and helpful.

Plussat: We really enjoyed the nice hotel staff, delicious breakfast, and swinging in the hammock on the balcony. Its great located, just a few footsteps away from the city center. Rooms are basic, but clean.

Plussat: Excelent location and value for money

Miinukset: -

Plussat: Spacious room, balcony, friendly staff, good breakfast and good shower and airconditioning. Easy walk to restaurants area but deserted road to the entrance.

Plussat: It's an older hotel, so amenities just feel older overall. You have to be okay with that. But for the price, compared to nearby hotels, made it worth it. And while it may be on the older side, it still felt clean. The location was perfect. Tours will pick you up outside of the hotel. Breakfast was simple but great and convenient. The outside garden area by the river is beautiful and very peaceful in the mornings. Relaxing and pleasant stay!

Miinukset: Some things need to be updated. Sometimes I would catch an unpleasant smell.

Plussat: We arrived late and they accommodated us.

Miinukset: Didn't feel clean. Fan didn't work. Mosquitos in the room. Not much help with getting to our next destination.

Plussat: Very clean place. Very good welcoming. Excellent breakfasts

Plussat: The host went out of his way to accommodate us and help us with our trip and our needs. Breakfast was generous and good.

Plussat: it’s relatively far from the center, in a residential (not happening, no restaurants/markets) area. this can be positive or not. bathroom was constantly wet. i didn’t like the owner’s attitude towards tours. later, seeing how he handled them with fellow guests at the house, i was happy i got mine from elsewhere (besides, it was cheaper).

Miinukset: there’s a small private beach on the back of the house. you’re staying at local people’s house and it has a very cosy feeling (can use the kitchen). breakfast is great (bread, spread, cream cheese, papaya, fresh fruit juice, cake, milk, ovaltine or powdered chocolate, coffee...). rooms are bright and airy, ceiling fan is enough unless you’re in the lower bunk bed.

Plussat: The host very thoughtful in your needs. She helps me carry my bags and get a ride to the center, as well she can help with tours and getting around the city. The breakfast was good: juice, fruit, bread, butter, cheese and ham next to a coffee. Recommended

Miinukset: Distance is bit far- 20 min walking to the center.

Plussat: Authentic and lovely place, helpful and charming people, good breakfast, amazing cleaning staff !

Miinukset: The staff does not speak English

Plussat: We were in Villa Jurara, the rooms are no "villas" but very new and nice with very good beds, nice bathroom and balcony, also a very good (silent and smooth) air conditioner.

Miinukset: From the villas you have to walk a bit for breakfast along the very hot and deep sandy street. The beach is a bit far away.

Miinukset: Too expensive for a hotel room in which you hear your neighbor shaving in the morning and where you fin frogs in your air conditioner.

Plussat: staff was great, very helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. Wifi worked just fine. Breakfast was simple, but very tasty.

Miinukset: It is located beside a school. It gets noisy early in the morning.

Plussat: Our favorite in Brasil! This was the best Pousada we stayed in. The personnel was super friendly and helpful. We took a trip leaving at 3am in the morning, they prepared sandwiches, cake and fresh juice for us. The outside area is great for relaxing. The rooms are clean and very nice.
