Maragogi hotellia

Plussat: Our stay at Ecohar was amazing! It is located at a walking distance of Maragogi city centre, but away of the buzz, so it is very easy to relax. Isabel and the staff were great and very welcoming. She arranged our visits to the coral reef and indicated nearby places to visit. We are not vegetarians, but I can say we did not miss eating meat at the meals. All of the food prepared was fresh and delicious. The room was big enough to accommodate us and our luggage, and the entire place was very clean.

Plussat: Even though me and my partner are not vegetarians, the food was delicious on every single meal, highly recommend. Very cosy family environment. The whole staff is amazing, everyone is so kind and helpful!! I loved my time there.

Miinukset: Credit card is not accepted, only debit. This makes it a bit difficult for international travellers (even though my card is a debit card in my home country, it is considered a credit card in Brazil).

Plussat: Very warm welcome. The owner makes you feel right at home. Relaxing stay. Excellent breakfast and high quality food throughout our stay. Vegetarian, vegan cuisine, fresh local ingredients Morning and afternoon yoga and meditation add to your relaxation

Miinukset: Rooms a bit on the small side, but with all necessary amenities The beach right in front of the hotel is not so appealing. It is recommended to take a day trip to the "natural pools" for a swim. The owner can help with organising that.

Plussat: All places! Wonderful

Plussat: I really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and vegetarian food.

Plussat: Everything perfect, the location, the breakfast, the rooms and the staff. Definitely recommend it. Would definitely stay here again :)

Plussat: The host is in front of the beach and has a balcony with a beautiful view. The breakfast is great with a big variety of food (tapioca, bread, cake, juice, etc). The staff is very helpful and suggested many things to do. The bathroom was very clean.

Miinukset: The bedroom was a little messy (mostly because of the other people that stayed there) and there were towels and glasses in the same place for 3 days, so I suppose the room wasn’t cleaned in those days. The bedroom didn’t have AC and had only fans, so it was very hot even in July (when it is winter). I believe it would be almost impossible to sleep during summer time.

Plussat: The breakfast was good and the view from the balcony area was nice

Miinukset: We had to walk six blocks with all our luggage because there was no parking. The streets were blocked off for an event and we were prevented from driving to the Hotel to drop off our luggage. Upon arrival a male staff member was not very friendly he didn’t seem to care that we had to walk six blocks and then climb many stairs carrying our luggage. The front door was open to the public which was a security concern. There was a New Years Eve Festival but people from the beach were blastocyst music from large speakers until 5:00 a.m. We did sleep very well the first night. The man who checked us in wasn’t very helpful when asking about places to eat and he seemed very unfriendly.

Plussat: By far the hostel with the best view I've ever been! Can't get any better.

Plussat: Comfortable room, friendly helpful staff.

Miinukset: Snall Windows

Plussat: Beautiful place

Miinukset: Wifi did not work properly

Plussat: Staff was very helpful and breakfast was great. Shower, wifi, all good :-)

Miinukset: Pillows could be a little bit better.

Plussat: Food, breakfast, facilities, wifi, beach

Miinukset: Leaving

Plussat: - Location is ideal. Right on the beach and a short walk from everything in town. - Staff were super friendly and helpful. - Pool is awesome looking out at the beach. - Room was large, as was bathroom. - Parking provided on site as part of the room price.

Miinukset: - Nothing specific

Plussat: Right on the beach, great cost benefit for a pousada.

Miinukset: The toilet space was very small facing the wall with very little leg space

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: Everything was perfect.

Plussat: Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely spacious rooms. Very comfortable bed and good shower. Located right in front of the beach. We arrived early and were allowed into the room before 1pm free of charge. Each room has its own little balcony.

Miinukset: Would have been nice to have hammocks on the balcony.

Plussat: Nice freash breakfast with local flavours. Great location great restaurants near. Excellent customer focus.

Miinukset: They will soon renovate the rooms, so soon they will not be that outdated.

Plussat: Excelente food, great customer service , very friendly and professional staff

Miinukset: Maybe a little too noisy been close to the Main Street

Plussat: The hotel building looks great and the area have many plants which makes a great combination with the buildings. It’s a good place to have a calm stay in Maragogi and the staff was friendly and always helpful. The food from the restaurant was delicious.

Miinukset: The breakfast room is way too small for the hotel. It was always full and noisy during our breakfast. The minibar was empty. Our room was close to the pool area so it was a bit noisy sometimes.

Plussat: The atmosphere. The guy with saxophone . Quite place .

Miinukset: They should have more water for free around , or in the freeze . It’s a hot country . People drink a lot water most of the day .

Plussat: Excellent pousada. Very friendly and kind staff. Only a few meters away from the beach and a short walk to restaurants and stores. The breakfast is good.

Plussat: Loved the area and our (big!) House. The whole area has so many little creative details. delicious breakfast, lovely employees and nice Owner!

Miinukset: The beach in front was a bit dirty, but this did not hurt the beautifull view.

Plussat: - the location: it’s very close to Maragogi beach and only 10 or 15 minutes to the city center. -the staff: they are really friendly and helpful. They booked our tour for the natural pools and a taxi when we asked for it. -the breakfast: it is a good breakfast with some good options, like the tapioca.

Miinukset: - the wi-fi: it didn’t work in the rooms. - the bathroom: the door didn’t close, which is a bit annoying when you need some privacy. And the shower was open, without a curtain or a bathroom box. - the mosquitoes: it isn’t their fault actually, but there are a lot of mosquitoes there, which made it impossible for us to enjoy the balcony that we had in our room. And the door for the balcony also didn’t close completely.

Plussat: Warm pool and good breakfast

Miinukset: The room was not really until 1600

Plussat: The place is nice, specially the rooms. The breakfast is very tasty and done with care.

Miinukset: The spot where is located is not very nice. That was a bit disappointing.

Plussat: Everything!:)

Plussat: My family and I were very happy to stay in the renovated rooms. It was amazing. Thanks Katja, you are the best hostess!!!

Miinukset: The beach near to the property is really crowded at the weekend, but Katja can give you valuable tips to go to beautiful places!!!

Plussat: Excelente friendly service, Katia goes beyond and above to accommodate all guests requirements, with special personal touch and love in everything. I can see she puts her heart and soul in every thing she does.

Miinukset: No one spoke English, friend had to translate everything Food was very bad , overcooked, quality, choices Italian Restaurant food was very bad

Plussat: Everything.

Miinukset: Ambient music could be more to relax (for instance: 80’s). But, the resort is amazing.

Plussat: Almost everything....only couple of minor issues

Miinukset: Shower - hotwater too low pressure did and not see the comment about 220v not 110v so my wife destroyed her hair drier. There were three restaurants but only had chance to vist one as no one told us two of the restaurants close a couple of nights per week and we were saving those for our last two nights.

Plussat: The beach was spectacular

Miinukset: The food could be better

Plussat: The friendly,courteous and helpful staff. Overall cleanliness, the general maintenance e.g gardens, pool, general areas. Comfortable room and beds Variety of food Fresh towels for beach/pool Security on beach Bar waiters especially Leonardo!! Entertainment at night and during the day

Miinukset: Some of the drinks were very "watery!" With so much fresh fruit why use industrialized pineapple juice?! The desserts lacked creativity and "variety ". Very similar every day!

Plussat: It has a great view

Miinukset: The way to arrive to the hotel and go to the beach don't look safe. They should provide a transfer for the guests

Plussat: THE VIEW CUSTOMER SERVICE - at the check-in and, when we ordered food, the staff member was very helpful providing us with cuttlery and plates.

Miinukset: LOCATION - The access to the hotel is very bad. Located on a hill, you are quite isolated there since there is no easy way to the beach, city centre and amenities, even if you have a car - AIR-CONDITIONING - As other guests have described as well, the air-conditioner in the room was terrible - BAD ODOUR - Seemed to come from the bathroom pipes - BREAKFAST - CUSTOMER SERVICE - at the check-out and when we requested the receipt by email as instructed by the member of staff, and this was never provided.

Plussat: The puosada was clean, the room was very basic but nice and ok. We enjoyed the window opening of the door. The view over all Maragogi while having breakfast was really really speechless and good food. The boy working on the night shift was very kind and helpful. It also has a pool and hammocks where to relax. We thought it was really nice that they sent us a message after check out saying they hoped it was a nice stay for us.

Plussat: Location on the cerro above the city is fun and nice in daytime. The view from the terrace and restaurant is exceptional. The Pousada itself is average. Breakfast was you typical Brazil type breakfast.

Miinukset: At night, as soon as it is dark, the restaurant is closed, the gate are closed and you are quite isolated. Getting to the city is difficult if you do not have a car and even with one takes some effort.

Plussat: The view is indescribable. The breakfast is hearty, lots of delicious typical foods. Clean and comfortable room. Very accessible place. Of couse i'll return there...

Plussat: The staff was nice and the rooms were clean. Breakfast had a lot of variety.

Miinukset: I did not realize the beach in front of the pousada was not great for swimming. I would stay close to Praia de Atunes next time.

Plussat: Beach front, 2 pools, excellent breakfast, clean and well kept, coffee all day, hammock on the balcony of the room, a great deal! And access to Netflix if you have an account

Plussat: Friendly personnel.

Miinukset: Location is not great, a bit in the worn down part of Maragogi.

Plussat: Restaurant across the road has very friendly staff and owner.

Miinukset: Hotel staff rude at check in and out. Noise at night from construction work on roof, reception staff rude when asked why there was so much noise at night.

Plussat: Excellent location. Breakfast on the average of most guesthouses. Beaches near the property are wonderful. Staff very kind.

Plussat: The location was superior and also the people were very helpful and friendly

Miinukset: The breakfast was a little bit on the spartanian side and the bathroom would have benefited from improvements

Plussat: -the proximity to the beach - hammock in the balcony - late arrival and staff was very kind and let us use the pool - a lot of options for breakfast

Miinukset: -the price REALLY doesn't match what you get, but really. I paid quite a lot, including 50 reais extra to stay in a "beach view" room but in reality there's a small building blocking most of the view and electricity cords right in the middle of the view. - the place is a little run down and not modern/new looking. - no blankets in the room, just a sheet. - shower isn't great... All and all, the place is OK but VERY over priced for what you get. I would be happier paying half or a third for what I got there, the price wasn't justified.
