    I don't know if I can put my finger on anything I didn't like. It has exceeded my expectations. If I'd be very picky, perhaps they could have better indication on where is the parking space.

    The pool area is awesome, honestly, much nicer than I expected. The room is super comfortable, spacious and stylish. The staff is fantastic and so is the breakfast. you can't go wrong with this hotel!

    My stay was incredible and behind my expectations. The property is beautiful and the staff is amazing. I loved it so much that I wanted to extend my stay. 10+ stars across the board. The food was excellent, the massage was amazing and the rooms are so comfortable. There is no negative feedback from me. I loved it so much that making this an annual trip.

    the rooms were good and comfortable, but definitely not fancy. I like it that way, but I can see how some people might not. I would definitely recommend they have bigger robes. I’m not a big person (1.75, 75kg) and it was on the small size. The food was amazing. but a bit pricey.

    I really enjoyed the facility and how friendly the staff was. it’s very cozy environment and everything looks great, especially the outdoor common area. The pool area is great. The pool is phenomenal. the fact that the bar is by the pool is great, especially for those who like to enjoy some drinks (caipirinha and tropical fruit cocktails) at poolside.

    Availability of an elevator would have been helpful. They should also offer tea time everyday or access to hot water for teas and coffees.

    Great service and an amazing breakfast. The room was upstairs and a little inconvenient because of lack of an elevator. Older people or people with disability should only stay at the ground floor … At time of check in there was nothing available on the ground floor.

    Refugio was a relaxed place located close to restaurants and bars and not far from the beach. The garden of the house is beautiful and you can hang out there just next to the pool. The staff is very helpful and trying to make your stay as easy as possible. I definitely would prefer it compare to a bigger resort and can fully recommend it as your home in Praia do forte

    Just as above, which was my comment about the bar closing at 9 pm.

    WOW! What a great Posada! Everything was wonderful! They took appropriate steps to protect everyone from Covid (masks, plastic gloves for self-service breakfast). The Posada was beautiful, as was the pool area and grounds. The location was also perfect for walking to the main street with shops and restaurants. The food...AMAZING! As someone else wrote, I would go there for lunch or dinner, even if I weren't staying there as a guest. We did have lunch, dinner and evening appetizers on three different days. The food was great all three days! My only recommendation (and maybe this was just because of Covid) would be to have the bar stay open later. The bar closed at 9 pm, which in my opinion was early, especially when we had dinner with friends one night and got back to the Posada at 9:30 and wanted to hang by the pool and have a drink.
