Pousada Naonda

At under $200/night, Na Onda is a beautiful bargain. We reserved Room 4 (highly recommended) where the view out the picture window, and the expansive porch, look directly towards the Atlantic Ocean and its lapping waves. We liked the location for the quiet as well as the view. It is near the Port, where the snorkeling is very good, and there is a decent restaurant within walking distance. The Pousada serves a BIG breakfast directly to your porch or patio at the time you request. For example, eggs, ham, cheese, cake, sweet bread, French bread, juice, fruit,sausage, coffee, tapioca, and more. Luckily I brought my own teabags, and they supplied me with hot water. Every afternoon there is a hearty snack that we ate for dinner. The bed is firm but comfortable, and the room is a good size. There is a fridge in the room that is stocked with water, cokes and beer. The Pousada provided us with a corkscrew. Theresa (who speaks English) helped us with our activity arrangements and also made our arrival go very smoothly, especially since the buggy rental was not awaiting us at the airport (delivered to the pousada later). After the airport, Theresa and the pousada’s driver took us to the National park office for our park passes and helped us book a couple of park hikes. Even though that is the last thing we wanted to do after a long day of travel, it paid off and we were very glad to have the arrangements made. She also helped us find a guide as required for Atalaia beach. The rest of the staff could not have been nicer! They are so friendly and helpful. The sheets were changed almost every day, the room cleaned immaculately, and they were very patient with us English-speakers.

Fabulous stay

All was great

Excellent location near the port and by the sea. Really helpful staff picked us up and dropped us at the airport, helping with a quick tour of the island on the way to the accommodation, and with booking of tours. Excellent breakfast set up outside room each morning.

Nothing to complain of.

My husband and I loved everything about our trip and stay at Pousada Naonda. The staff was beyond helpful and able to answer our questions about the island. Breakfast was great - you order from a Menu and they deliver to your room on your little private terrace. When you return in the afternoon, they serve you little snacks like fresh juice and brazilian style treats. Maria Terreza was so sweet and even brought my husband and I some extra treats when she found out we were on our honeymoon! The best part of the pousada in my opinion was the view. It’s location by the port makes it rather secluded and in turn, there’s very little light pollution at night. The stars are amazing and we spent evenings star gazing counting the shooting stars. It was amazing! I highly recommend this Pousada, ask for room #4. It’s worth paying more for it! All in all, we will absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a stay off the beaten path. Thank you everyone at Naonda for an amazing stay!

It was awesome, nothing to change!
