I was very impressed with how well maintained this hotel is. I know how hard the salt air and humidity is on buildings, Hotel Costeiro is not fancy but they have taken care to give this hotel character through the local art on the walls and the old time Olinda furniture in the halls. Breakfast was good and they made some of the best tapioca I've had.
Set in a beautiful park next to Olinda´s São Francisco Convent, this hotel features a colonial museum and modern rooms. Free Wi-Fi, free parking and a large pool are available.

The breakfast was excellent! As were all of the meals in the restaurant there. The staff was super friendly and kind, from Robson at the front desk to Marta who took care of our suite!

Breakfast is great, rooms are ok, staff was nice and it is walking distance to Olinda's historical center. The beds were comfortable. It is an ok place to stay during carnival, but for the price, I would try to book something better a bit earlier next time. Wifi ok.

Accommodation closely located to the Olinda's historic city center and all the sightseeing. Very nice and helpful staff.
Olinda mar pousada provides beachfront accommodations in Olinda. A few steps from Bairro Novo Beach and 1.6 miles from Milagres Beach, the property offers a garden and a bar.
Olinda is odd in that it is lightly populated.
For instance, there are a phenomenal number of churches in a very small area but (I imagine) way less people than there were historically,
The beach is close by and nice.
It is a stark contrast to Recife so close by.
The minor basilica is worth a visit with it’s gold or nation.

I didn't realize that my dates coincided with what is called the "previa", or preview to Carnaval. So this was an unexpected treat in a way! I don't have the tolerance or stamina for actual Carnaval, but being able to partake in and witness the preliminary street festivals was quite fun. Olinda is lovely and so walkable. I do wish that the signage for the historical markers was restored and improved. For example, the Ribeira Market is a local spot for purchasing souvenirs. It also is significant for being the market where enslaved Black people were sold alongside other "commodities". Given that Brazil has the largest percentage of people of African descent in the Americas whose ancestors were enslaved by the Portuguese, this history should NOT be overlooked, "whitewashed" or hidden. One can enjoy the beauty of a place AND acknowledge the painful legacy of enslavement throughout the Americas. Lastly, don't swim in the beaches here. Raw sewage ends up here and you can see this in the brown water. If you want a beach to swim in, head south to Porto de Galinhas.

Charming historic town. By total coincidence I was there on a Sunday night in the lead-up to Carnaval, and a local Carnaval team was practicing. Fun to watch. This evidently happens on Sunday nights for at least several weeks (longer?) leading up to Carnaval.

An incredible little haven of peace and beauty next to a buzzling city of Recife. The beaches right in front of the town are not extraordinary but within 10-15 min drive there are large beaches with little bars etc. Like anywhere in Brazil, litter and especially plastic is a problem.

I was disappointed with Olinda for being a well known tourist city in Brazil. Dirty where the beach is distant and without conditions for swimming and with little tourist attraction. Generally speaking I would not go to Recife / Olinda on vacation. The city is also very dangerous, according to residents.

We were there only one night but we enjoyed the Historic Centre and walking up to the lighthouse. The best part was taking a funicular to the treehouse restaurant! A three minute walk from the Convent.
Location and friendly staff.
My husband and I got there a little late in na night, Erica received us really well with an amazing a welcome drink. It was a drink with guava juice and cachaça.
She accommodate us and gave a recommendation of a place to have dinner.
On the following day we had breakfast at the property. Really delicious made with love.
I really enjoyed this night we has there. I wish we had more time to enjoy Olinda and the Pousada dos Quatro Cantos. I highly recommend it ;)
The pousada is extraordinary decorated with art. The staff is very nice and always helpful. The breakfast offers a rich variety of mouthwatering brazilian foods. Our kids enjoyed the relaxed atmoshphere and to play in the swimming pool. Our room was nice and offered plenty of space for 4 persons, the air conditioning worked very well. Within 2 minutes walking distance you can find a nice cafe / restaurant, a super market, a bakery and several providers of local food and even a hairdresser.
This hostel is incredibly nice. I almost didn't leave to go explore the city. The common areas have a gorgeous view and the place is very clean. I slept so well because they have air conditioning in the bedrooms and the bed itself I found very comfortable. The staff was so patient and kind to me with my inability to speak Portuguese and the location is so close to the water and restaurants/bars and stores, I really have no complaints about it.
Beautiful hotel, historic Convento on the top of hill.
Room is simple but clean. Breakfast buffet is great. They even make brazil traditional food Tapioca.
Perfect location. In historic zona, has astonishing view. close to everything.
All staffs are so nice. Especially security guard Marcilio. He troduced us the history of this Convento, helped us to order delivery food to enjoy the view in it's own restaurant.
Me and my wife LOVED our stay! Graça and Rita were warm and helpful, the place is exactly as the photos, the breakfast delicious and the house really well located. Extra points for the high speed internet connection that allowed me to do a couple of video calls without any interruptions. I highly recommend this place for both business (aka digital nomads looking for a nice scape) or leisure.

Very nice pousada with friendly staff and very good breakfast. The rooms are cozy and comfortable and the communal space is great for relaxing in the hammock. Good kitchen for cooking and great localisation. Very good price for value!
I would definitely recommend staying in Flor de Olinda!
The team at Pousada São Pedro were so incredibly welcoming and accomodating to all my requests, they made sure my stay in Olinda absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend their personable, friendly approach highly enough and the work they go to in creating a unique and welcoming atmosphere!
The hosts were so kind and welcoming, and provided lots of advice. The hostel was very beautiful with good facilities, including a kitchen and pool. And the location was great, a short walk from the historic centre. We loved our stay, would recommend!
Wonderful location, in the heard of Olinda. We loved the pool in the back with the view of sunset at night. Nice selection for breakfast. Came two years before but I think this time I enjoyed more. The staff were really kind and helpful :D
The staff is very nice and do not hesitate to help you or offer to keep the bags, use the tables and the condiments. The breakfast was very good and diversified ! The location to visit Olinda is great.
Perfect location in Olinda, amazing view from the room terrace on old city and Recife, historical house decorated with Art artifacts made by the owner. Nice garden for open air breakfast with view.
The location was perfect for us as we had a wedding to go in Olinda and the hotel was close to everything we needed. Also the view in front of the hotel was really nice.
