Lapo, Brazil

It's a simple accommodation. Perfect if you have no special needs and need no luxury. Yet, it was just perfect for the purpose: sleeping. It was a typical (as far as I know) Brazilian-type accommodation and looked superb. What a difference the personnel can make was proved at this place. I would like to hereby thank Sean and his staff for being so friendly and helpful at all times. They assisted us with our thousand of questions, gave advice on basically anything, booked tours for us and much more. Given my gluten-free diet, I often have problems finding something to eat. Here, there were no problems as I got freshly made cheese bread (pão de queijo) every morning. Thumbs up for that and basically for everything you do. I love your approach to the guests. That's how it should be.

It was walking distance to the beach. Very good breakfast. Very helpful staff with good information on things to do.

Patricia, United States of America

Everything! The staff were attentive, friendly and very capable, seemingly able to speak every language in existence. The accommodation was comfortable and clean and the breakfast was an absolute masterpiece. I can't recommend it more highly.

Cristina, Spain

The location is great, rooms are comfortable but the best is the staff..absolutely outstanding. Everyone was super helpful. Our trip to Brazil started from Salvador and to be honest at Pousada Estrela do Mar we experienced the best service. From the very beginning...the airport transfers, restaurants recommendations and trips booking...everything excellent...nothing to add.

눉Wi-Fi in the rooms was terrible. Needed to go to the reception to use it. Reception area does have tables and you can sit there and use the Wi-Fi. Beds were old and not very comfy. But ok for one night.
눇Excellent location within walking distance to farol da Barra. Super friendly and nice staff. Breakfast prepared freshly with a base of bread fruits, tapioca crepes and eggs but with a new local recipe daily. Our day had fried curd cheese which was delicious. Cute picturesque building, tiles and windows.

“Nice and friendly guesthouse in Salvador with a very nice breakfast”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Superior Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The big size bed in the superior room was great, however the second bed was only a single sized bed. Unfortunately we also had a cockroach in the bathroom. Considering the tropical weather in Salvador, this could probably happen in every guesthouse.
눇The best breakfast we had in Brazil with daily varieties, fresh juices and local food such as tapioca cake. We had a superior room, with a pretty big bathroom, aircon, fridge and TV. The television has a nice selection of international channels. The staff was very nice and helpful. Great location, less then 5 minutes away from the Lighthouse and beach. Many restaurants and bars around the corner.

눉I stayed in a room under the stairs and it was a little bit stuffy and smelly. Also, the breakfast was too much food and a bit heavy for first thing in the morning.
눇The location was perfect and the staff were extremely helpful. The free coffee, tea and hammocks were also a very nice detail which made the place really nice to stay in.

“DON'T LOOK FURTHER, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE FOR YOUR STAY IN SALVADOR”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Superior Triple Room
- • Stayed 4 nights
눉If I really should mention something is that the room could have been a bit bigger. But this ain't something that you can just change. I mean the space is given. :) But what could be improved is adding more options to hang clothes. I do not necessarily mean hangers what you can put in the closet but on the wall. And more power sockets would be handy, too. For the rest, it was just all too perfect.
눇It's a simple accommodation. Perfect if you have no special needs and need no luxury. Yet, it was just perfect for the purpose: sleeping. It was a typical (as far as I know) Brazilian-type accommodation and looked superb. What a difference the personnel can make was proved at this place. I would like to hereby thank Sean and his staff for being so friendly and helpful at all times. They assisted us with our thousand of questions, gave advice on basically anything, booked tours for us and much more. Given my gluten-free diet, I often have problems finding something to eat.

눉Difficult to find any fault. My time in the lobby, which I like, was sometimes marred by smokers smoking around the corner outside - perhaps they could suggest the smokers use the front porch instead?
눇Staff, staff, staff - all competent, friendly, willing to go the extra mile - finding me a clinic when needed, advice about outings, new art exhibits, willing to chat late at night about what was happening in Brazil. On top of that, the breakfast is top notch, the old building is lovely and in good shape, the location a half block from the beach promenade. Compared to my stay here 4 years ago, the internet signal was also fine in my room. Little touches most pousadas don't have like tissues in room and a full bar of soap! Many thanks gente de Estrela do Mar!
