Paraty hotellia

Plussat: Simply perfect. Felt like home from home!

Plussat: Excellent Breakfast

Miinukset: The room was lovely but I would have liked a chair or 2

Plussat: The quality of the furnishings and the beautiful and restful garden with the wonderful attention to detail. The breakfast was lovely with plenty of fresh-fruit, yoghurt, breads, eggs, juices, tea and coffee. The location was peaceful and only a short walk to the historic centre.

Miinukset: The parking was not on-site, but only a short walk away and it was possible to load and unload luggage at the entrance, so it was not a problem.

Plussat: Everything was fine, from the really helpful staff to the room and the breakfast.

Plussat: Very nice and quiet place, close to the city center. The garden is really beautiful and they serve a good and tasty breakfast. Really good and comfortable place where to spend few days in Parachy.

Plussat: Very cozy hotel, that makes you feel just as if you were at home! Location is just perfect, few minutes walking from the historic city center. Staff was very friendly, the room is clean and very comfortable, and the breakfast is just great!

Plussat: Really good, clean hotel with a great grassy courtyard and outdoor sitting room. The staff was helpful with directions. The hotel also offers cake and coffee in the afternoon.

Plussat: Facilities/comfort/simplicity/attendance/hospitality/glamour/architecture/infrastructure / nearest to the center

Plussat: Near the beach with amazing view. Kind of isolated, really clean and simple but beautiful design.

Plussat: We stayed for 5 nights on our honeymoon. Casa Mar is in the style of a chic guesthouse rather than a hotel, very quiet with discrete service (they leave you alone but are always there when you need them). You are a trusted guest rather than a number, for example the honesty bar (serving great wine at very reasonable prices) and kayaks for you to use at anytime for as long as you like (they don’t make you sign in or out etc). You feel like a guest at an uber chic coastal villa. It is 10min by taxi from Paraty which we actually preferred because it is located above a peaceful fishing village with an excellent seafood beach restaurant and a 5 min walk to another swimming beach. We kayaked around a nearby island and saw turtles and dolphins. We stayed in the suite with a big spa bath - it doesn’t have direct views of the water but looks out onto rainforest with big doors opening onto a private balcony. Breakfast was perfectly curated: fresh fruits, freshly baked breads/croissants and freshly squeezed juices. Nothing fried, no big buffet etc. All in all, if you want to stay at a big hotel with 24 hr room service right in the heart of paraty this is not the place for you. However it was a peaceful oasis for our honeymoon and we would definitely come back.

Miinukset: Bring bug spray as the mosquitoes are out in force overnight

Plussat: No fault, there is nothing wrong!

Miinukset: No fault, there is nothing wrong!

Plussat: A real gem. A really nice sized small hotel / ‘guesthouse’. Very chic and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Highly recommended.

Plussat: The hotel is family designed and run and very, very nice. Extremely tasteful, with eight handsome rooms. Prices were high, very, because it was New Years Eve. At the normal rate, this would be an exceptional deal. The inn has a glorious view and is steps from the beach. Breakfast was excellent. I'd stay here again without question.

Plussat: I loved location and comfort!

Miinukset: I found some hazards. Side of balconies didn’t have any protection and I thought people could easily fall from them as end of corridor upstairs walking towards stair. There is no protection just before arrive at stair and people could walk over the bamboo roof and fall from there. It’s quiet dangerous.

Plussat: Such a beautiful hidden place... we had a great time, thank you Gustavo for taking care of us. Everything was perfect, a charming room with a wonderful view, best service, tasty breakfast... Thank you for all the recommendations around Paraty! We enjoyed every minute at Casa Mar Paraty

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Beautiful location looking right out over a lovely bay with a series of steps right down to the beach. Part of a small, charming fishing village that seems to thrive - plenty of boats going out daily and plenty of lovely fish to eat locally. A very well planned-out property with large guest rooms and bathrooms and great communcal spaces to hang out overlooking the bay. Fabulous landscaping and planting on the propert - clearly done to a very high standard. Lovely breakfast with cereal, yoghurts, fresh fruit, baked items and eggs cooked to order. Cake made daily and left out to help yourself to. Honesty bar. Very helpful and informative staff. A bonus that the place itself has kayaks that you can take out whenever you like. Lots of local bays and beaches to explore. Easy, quick and inexpensive to get a taxi or uber if you want to eat out in Paraty of an evening but the local restaurants right down the steps on the beach have really great food and drinks.

Miinukset: I have nothing to complain about, this was absolutely ideal for our needs. I was slightly alarmed by the presence of a very young toddler in one of the parties. In my opinion, this place would not be paticularly suitable for very young children who are self-propelling but not at the level of having any understanding of danger, as there are lots of places for them to fall off edges.

Plussat: The facilities are excellent. Very good breakfast, with plenty of options. Staff is more than great. Location is great, very central and close to many good restaurants. The room and bathroom have wooden floor, which is great. The shower is fantastic. The pool is also very good.

Miinukset: The hotel had a low occupancy due to low season. The room might be a bit noisy, for my taste during high season.

Plussat: location was great..good variety of choices..they were able to fix eggs to my specificactions....the understated elegance of this pousada is what makes it special..it is a quiet haven to disconnect and chill without actually losing connectivity

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Excellent tranquil accommodation in perfect location with a fabulous restaurant. Staff very helpful. Highly recommended.

Plussat: Located right in the historical Center of Paraty, this property is an oasis that never stopped delighting us. Original colonial building with perfect proportions and typical architecture. From its beautiful garden, to the many facilities offered like swimming pool, gym, spa and huge library. The bonus is the breakfast and the kindness of the owner. Thank you so much for all the love and attention you generously offered us.

Plussat: It is a lovely hotel in a great location. The breakfast is the only thing that could do with some improvement. All other food was exceptional

Miinukset: The breakfast could do with improvement

Miinukset: They didn’t have a room service 24hours

Plussat: The whole staff was really friendly and helpful. Amazing atmosphere. Quite, close to the beach. Really idilic.

Miinukset: Nothing to say

Plussat: The owners and staff are so helpful (and speak English and French fluently!). The property is gorgeous , the monkeys are a bonus. The pool and gardens are serene. And its a quick walk to the beach.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much problem for them from getting our laundry done, to booking a jeep tour at the last minute and sorting out a taxi for us on several occasions as Ubers are scarce in the area. The service was amazing, the accommodation is absolutely beautiful and exactly how it looks in the photos. Filled with animals from cheeky little Mico monkeys to the residential Parrot and beautiful birds flying around. The breakfast spread was delicious with freshly made omelettes and crepes. There's also a lovely afternoon tea and cake offering which was a nice touch. Highly recommended this place, a little piece of paradise in Paraty.

Plussat: Very nice staff. Very helpful in all respects. Excellent breakfast at the pool. Beautiful gardens. The monkeys, cats and parrot. Nice jacuzzi (protected from the rain) with an excellent caipirinha !

Plussat: The food, the cleanliness

Miinukset: Liked everything

Plussat: Breakfast very good Super quiet Private terace for every room Monkeys and parot in garden

Miinukset: Pool and Whirlpool out of order

Plussat: Eliconial is a wonderful oasis located in a beautiful garden. The hosts are overwhelmingly friendly and give you the feeling of being a more than welcomed guest. Breakfast is fantastic! If we come back to Paraty, we will definitely book there again.

Plussat: Great hosts, great stay! A bit pricey, but it was New Year's, so that's ok. If we ever go back to Paraty, we will definitely stay here! I particularly loved the location - it's a bit "out of town" but super-close to the beach. Walking to Paraty for dinners is safe and walking back from all the wonderful restaurants in the evening is easy. The hosts are simply amazing.

Plussat: Everything :)

Miinukset: I could hear the neighbours, but it was not a big deal

Plussat: Very pleasant stay at Elicolonial. we asked for hot tub and massage and they arranged both for us the same night. Great breakfast and nice and relaxing atmosphere.

Plussat: We spend a few days in Paraty 2 or 3 times a year. We never stay anywhere except Pousado do Ouro. The staff could not be more friendly and professional, the facility itself is just spectacular and their breakfast Is outstanding. We love it.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Excellent value for money Nicely decorated and well located with a lovely staff. Hard to beat!

Miinukset: Loved it all but the breakfast could have been better

Plussat: Perfect location in the historical centre. Beautiful characterful property and helpful staff who assisted with booking restaurants and trips. Room very comfortable and clean.

Plussat: Great pousada right in the centre of the old town. The room we stayed in was across the street from the main building but very charming and nice. Pool and bar area is nice, unfortunately the weather was bad so we couldn’t enjoy them properly. Having on site parking that central was a plus.

Miinukset: Room was slightly dated but added charm

Plussat: Great local breakfast. Fruit selection could be a bit better

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Amazing staff and facility! I’d recommend for anyone!

Miinukset: Sauna not very hot

Plussat: Very quiet location but luckily close to the main tourist area with plenty of excellent restaurants, harbour only a few minutes' walk way. The garden and pool are very beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. The antique buildings are nicely restored and renovated, decorated with attention to the detail. As the hotel is small and the grounds are rather extensive we have enjoyed lots of privacy. Beds are very comfortable, the windows have shutters. Breakfast was very good. Staff were very friendly and helpful, the receptionists were able to communicate in English or French!!!!! Very seldom to find in Brazil!!!!! For us Paraty is the most beautiful small town of Brazil, the bays, the ocean and the mountains are unique.

Miinukset: I am afraid there is nothing they could do about in beautiful Paraty: as the town is on sea level there are problems with flooding on rainy days, which has also an impact on the walls of the antique buidings, the walls get damp and generate an unpleasant smell. However, on dry days the smell disappears quickly and completely. One thing I did not like was that the floors of the room and bathroom were made of antique cobblestone, very difficult to keep clean and unpleasant to walk barefoot. As cobblestone is very typical for the old town of wonderful Paraty I assume the original floors of cobblestone remained that way in order to keep in line with the antique original structure of Paraty.

Plussat: This is a beautiful and quite pousada, in the center of old Paraty (the most beautiful part), but yet a way from all the noise. The place is well maintained and very clean, the rooms are very charming, spacious and comfortable. There are several beautiful commune area to relax within the pousada. The staff and the owner are very nice and ready to help. Breakfast is typical Brazilian style.

Miinukset: WiFi can be improved.

Plussat: A great location with a fantastic courtyard and garden space and the staff

Miinukset: Having to leave

Plussat: Beautifully laid out and very tranquil. Simply styled but very comfortable bedrooms. The outside and communal spaces have interesting curious and pictures. Lovely sitting areas with hammocks and other seating. Pool side has comfortable sunbeds and shaded areas Staff couldn’t have been more helpful or pleasant. Location great for accessing restaurants, shops, beaches and boat trips.

Miinukset: A minor thing, a hair dryer in room rather than on request.

Plussat: Superb, tranquil, elegant and charming pousada in the old town. Beautiful gardens where you can sit and relax. Great pool and bar area. Everything very peaceful - no kids allowed and no piped music. The decor is really delightful: lots of art and objects from around Brazil and the rest of the world. And there are loads of little comfortable niches you can relax in and read a book. My bedroom was simple and comfortable with a good-sized bathroom and plenty of hot water. The staff – from the owners to the people who look after the garden – are charming and friendly. The breakfast is good - very Brazilian: bread, cheese, fruit, cake etc. And you can have it indoors or out by the pool. Very much recommended. I had booked for three nights but I extended my stay and stayed for four as it was the perfect relaxing break that I had been looking for. Will definitely return.

Miinukset: My stay was perfect.

Plussat: We had a suite which was a good amount of space with a big bathroom and comfortable king sized bed. We had good hot water pressure, they give nice shampoo, soap and conditioner. The breakfast was lovely. The pool area was our favourite- comfy deck chairs, plenty of shade and a refreshing pool. It was a very relaxing stay and all of the staff were super helpful as well.

Miinukset: The smaller rooms looked pretty small- so may not have been as comfy as ours.

Plussat: The place is SO beautiful. The breakfast is great (especially orange cake and passion fruit cake) and employees are nice and really helpful. I loved being in this pousada. Plus, the location is perfect to visit the historical center.

Plussat: wonderful location, close to beaches and restaurants, the owners are wonderful people

Miinukset: everything was perfect

Plussat: Very good stay runned by nice family. Everything was perfect, very good breakfast, clean rooms with daily maid service.

Plussat: great location if you want to be near the old city in Paraty and not in it. staff was great! really helpful. the amenities sucked a little bit (lots of ants, the beds squeaked, and breakfast wasn't good, to our opinion). however, what you pay is what you get, so in general, a great place to stay in Paraty

Miinukset: ants, breakfast, and beds that squeaked

Plussat: Location from Historical centre was 5 Minute walk. Cost of the Room. Owners were excellent. Breakfast was very good, cooked eggs anyway you wanted.

Plussat: location

Plussat: The Pousada is ruled by a very nice, lively and welcoming family. It's truly a place for families with kids. We had our best 'café da manhã' of all our Brasilian trip: wonderful homemade breakfast with local products. Parking is available in the courtyard down the rooms.

Miinukset: Maybe the wash basin could be a little bigger and the tap fixed better but shower is large and hot water available. The wifi signal could be more poowerful but Paraty makes you feel so good that you almost forget to stay connected to the global network...

Plussat: Everything was perfect! This place is like a paradise. Thank you!

Plussat: Everything was perfect.

Plussat: A unique experience. Breakfast was very good - especially the tapiocas. Easy bus from Paraty main station. Few minutes walk to the beach. Owner was very friendly, welcoming and accommodating.

Miinukset: Very noisy from all the animals (although you've got to expect this as you're sleeping in a room side by side with nature!)

Plussat: Room, nature around

Miinukset: I think the facilities in the room could be improved mainly regarding the shower and toilet. But is just a detail

Plussat: The host's Vivienne and Pedro were so friendly and kind to us. Me and my friend had our phones stolen prior to our arrival and when we arrived to Paraty Paradiso we quickly forgot about the disaster of having our phones stolen as we were suddenly submerged with kindness, nature and beauty. I thank Vivienne and Pedro so much for their accommodation and their staff were so kind too. The breakfast was lovely, the family of dogs, peakcocks and the cat added to the family vibe, not forgetting their son who is the cutest little boy! Could not recommend Paraty Paradiso more if you are looking for the perfect nature break!

Miinukset: nothing!

Plussat: The property is beautiful - garden is well maintained and very peaceful. You feel welcome from the moment you enter. The dog Samba stayed with us for our entire stay, walked us to the beach, jumped on the boat for a day trip and joined us paddle boarding. Pedro was extremely friendly and the treehouse was a great surprise! Hot shower, amazing view, nice breakfast, we would definitely come back.

Plussat: The place is just amazing. We slept in the cabana and the experience was great. The pousada is sureounded by beautiful nature, fruits trees, animals. Great equipments pool, sauna, kayaks... and the staff is excellent. Many thanks once more to Natalia and Netto for the time we share and your generosity. Definitely love this place and recommend it.

Plussat: It‘s really a paradise!

Plussat: This place name says it all !

Plussat: Very nice

Miinukset: The staff they took good care of us I asked them to flowers in the room and they did more than that they put rose peddles on the floor and it really paid off

Plussat: Food,pools,sauna ,gym was very nice,the staff are very friendly, the transfer transport to town was very good.the view it’s beautiful during the day,the river it’s so beautiful.

Plussat: Fantastic infrastructure for such small Pousada. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Miinukset: The WC has glas transparent doors. Not really romantic. An optional curtain would be better.

Plussat: Excellent staff who always go the extra mile. We found the rooms to be very clean and comfortable, and the pool areas were great. Delicious food and the most amazing cocktails we've had- couldn't ask for a better hotel!

Miinukset: Only 2 slight issues were a shortage of sun loungers and the air con in the restaurant was too cold- we wore jackets to dinner!

Plussat: New and clean. It is in the opposite direction of the beach but it has a tranquil environment and the mountain view’s with is awesome. The river surrounds the property and brings a very calm ambient

Miinukset: The menu of the restaurant could improve. The swimming pool is too cold, they could warm it up

Plussat: We needed help setting up tours and they were more than happy to help. They even drove us down to the city and picked us up later in the day so that we didn’t have to worry about parking. They were excellent.

Plussat: Staff were super friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Roberta at reception was really sweet and helpful as we're staff in the bar, despite our lack of Portuguese. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the facilities were great. The lift in and out of historic centre was really useful and saved us from getting taxi's.

Miinukset: It was too far from Paraty city. Despite the hotel offering transfer to and from the historic centre at no extra charge, we felt too far from restaurants etc. As it rained for most of our 5 nights and the road leading to the hotel became a muddy bog we felt cut off as it was impossible to walk anywhere. Our room was very noisy. We could hear people in the room next door using the toilet, showering, vomiting! We were woken up 2 mornings at 03.50 by someone's alarm going off! If you want peace and quiet don't stay here. When the hotel is very busy it feels like there are a lot of people in a small area.

Plussat: Great Breakfast plenty of choice, ,great coffee and cakes loads of fruit. Room spacious and very clean.

Miinukset: Maybe offer the free transfer into Paraty a couple of times during the day or start them at 6pm till 10/11pm

Plussat: Nice pool and great breakfast! The staff is excellent. There is one girl at the reception that speaks good english and she helped us a lot how to get from Paraty to Angra. She was so helpfull with all our questions!

Plussat: All the facilities are great. Very nice breakfast. Pleasant employes.

Miinukset: The shower at bathroom is so week. Temperature never stabilizes and there is no water pressure. So dificult to rinse long hair! Even with transfer, the distance to downtown with children is not a good experience.

Plussat: The staff were fabulous, they went above and beyond to keep us happy throughout the stay. The hotel was very clean and a special shout out to Tais (I think that's how you spell it) who was the one young female who could speak English and gave us advice whenever we asked and tipped us off on the best pizza and pasta in town! (after a few poor experiences in Rio). The hostel was very flexible and relaxed which we loved, for example giving us impromptu rides to the town off schedule, letting us use the pool passed the closing time and a late check out when we had a late bus. The night worker also let us use the staff microwave late one night! The 7 of us had a fabulous time and we thank you so much pousada eclipse! Xx

Miinukset: Only negative feedback was that the WiFi was pretty weak and cut out often. I think this may be normal as the area had frequent power cuts (amazing at night to see the stars!) The location is a bit away from the center of Paraty which was saved by the free shuttle offered by the pousada.

Miinukset: The bathroom could be better. (towels to be larger). The room without chair and could be more confortable

Plussat: The warm welcome

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The exceptional attention to details. The very professional and caring staff! The delicious breakfast, and the gifts!! We loved everything about our stay at Casa Turquesa!

Plussat: Very special place, personalised and helpful. Beautifully created and fabulous location. You really couldn’t ask for much more.

Plussat: Beautiful Hotel, great design, friendly people, central location. Our stay in this Hotel was wonderful. The staff is very friendly and they take care of you. The Hotel is well located - close to shops and restaurants, and also close to the pier where you find all boats taking you to the beautiful islands of Paraty. Although centrally located, in the hotel - especially the beautiful garden with plunge pool - it is very calm amd cozy. The breakfast and the tea time are very nice with good food and fresh products.

Plussat: Great attention to detail - nothing was a problem and whereas there re no beaches in Paraty per se the hotel organised a very good taxi to a really beautiful beach only 15 mins drive away

Miinukset: To walk out to a beach would have been ideal but then you wouldn't have had the whole charm of Paraty as an old town on your doorstep

Plussat: The house is amazing, the pool, the tea hour, the food, the service... I've travelled around the world, including Europe and very "rich" countries, but I never had such a great experience like in Casa Turquesa. I lived in Rio for almost a decade and it wasn't my 1st time in Paraty, so I never thought they could have a place like that in Rio! Highlights to the amazing food they serve, everything is always super fresh; and highlight to all the little details they worry about: organizing/cleaning your bedroom according to the time of day, different souveniers and treats in your bed every day... It was just amazing. Best "fast" honeymoon ever!!!

Miinukset: Nothing. We had a hard time on deciding what "constructive suggestions" we could give them (like a bigger range of rain boots sizes), but all we could come up with were tiny suggestions that didn't really made our experience be bad because of not having it. The house is perfect, the service is unbelievable good. No need to worry about ANYTHING!

Plussat: A beautiful building wth lovely rooms and very friendly staff in a perfect location.

Miinukset: It is expensive

Plussat: We visited paraty in Nov 2018 and very happy that we stayed at Casa Turquesa. * Tete - the owner and the whole staff are wonderful and accommodating.. they went above and beyond to make us comfortable and feel at home.. I love going back to our room at the end of the day to find little treats ..

Plussat: Very charming, staff is always friendly and reception is 24/7, the room was spacious and comfortable and the location is absolutely perfect. Also, they have free parking.

Miinukset: If you go to breakfast a little later, many items are gone and there is no replenishment.

Plussat: Fabulous place, modernised enough to keep the modern traveller happy but not so much as to lose the charm of the age and significance of the building.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Comfortable beds. Really good shower. Nice pool. Towels provided. Potted water provided. Staff friendly. Good range of food at breakfast. Reasonable WiFi. Facing the beach.

Miinukset: As not used to having to put toilet paper in a bin instead of in the toilet, a bin with a lid would have been preferable. The placemats used for breakfast were not always clean Room service didn’t always include cleaning the shower, sink and toilet Avoid busy times for breakfast (weekends around 9.00) as staff unable to cope with large numbers, ran out of virtually everything with long waits for orders from the egg station and for food to be replenished

Plussat: In our 6 week trip around South America this has been one of the best hotels we have stayed at. From the time we arrived we felt very looked after...the staff spoke English very well and helped us with anything that we needed. Our room was perfect...having all the facilities expected and the bathroom is amazing with two showers (one open and one under cover)! The pool area is definitely the highlight of the hotel...with a little jacuzzi in it...it is the perfect place to relax with a cocktail. There is a bar and couches in the pool area as well. The hotel is very clean and the decor is done so well. If we ever in Paraty again we will definitely be staying here! Highly recommend this hotel.

Miinukset: There is only two staff (waiters/barmen) that work at any given time, and they take care of anything you need whether at the pool or in the lounge inside. This meant that sometimes it took a bit of time to find one of them to assist us. But that being said, they were always so helpful and attention even when doing anything for us. So more of an observation than a complaint.

Plussat: Good infrastructure, air conditioning and good breakfast.

Miinukset: More options of boat rides from the concierge
