"Ótimo local. Perto de 3 praias (praianha, praia grande ,praia do forno ,praia dos anjos . Perto dos barco taxi,aluguel de triciclo ,bugi. A subida é um pouco desafiador mas devagarzinho da tudo certo. Fizemos maioria dos passeios a pé. Tem ônibus (703) da prefeitura que te leva para a maioria das praias por apenas R$2. Só senti falta de aluguel de algum transporte (bike ou bike elétrica). Poderiam fazer uma parceria com alguma empresa por dia . Séria bacana . O local da pousada em si é muito linda. Limpa. A piscina e sauna são Top . Café da manhã muito bom . Os quartos super agradável, Netflix,agua fria/quente,Wi-Fi. Entrega nos app de comida chega de boa na porta .E a melhor =>a vista .
