Lock in a great price for Pousada Estrela do Mar – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Very attentive, genuine and friendly staff make this place feel like a holiday home for a few days, in a location giving access to some safe and lively small city beaches, well-served by a shopping mall and other facilities, and two minutes from a very photogenic and historic beach-front eating and promenading area. I liked the proper-sized bar of soap also! And the water and beer in the minibar at market rates. Big effort made to offer a variety of fresh local fare for breakfast. Oh, and they loaned me a beach towel, which hasn't happened before. Good wi-fi strength.

John, Australia

There is the best ever staff! Very friendly, helpfully and nice. Really, we felt as we are home! Location is perfect - close to two beaches, one of them especially is nice to swim. Close to buffet for tasty and cheap lunch, close to fresh juices 24). And breakfast - really, like home! Always fresh juices, fruites, coffee as a bonus ).

Ekaterina, Russia

Location was excellent, breakfast was superb, and the staff super friendly.

Pousada Estrela do Mar was visually beautiful. It is decorated with white and blue tiles and has eclectic paintings on the walls. The staff at the front desk, especially Daniel, were so kind, patient, and helpful. A lovely aspect of the Pousada was how organized they were. Upon our arrival we received a map of the area, a little paper with the wifi code, and a paper of recommended restaurants nearby- super useful! The breakfast was amazing! Did I mention they have bfast until 12p? There was fresh squeezed OJ, cut-up fruit like watermelon and papaya, delicious eggs made to order and fresh bread with ham and cheese! They even had exotic fruit jams like pineapple and guava!

눉There were very few mosquitoes in the resort and on the water, but they were out in force during the jungle walk! Bring lots of repellant!
눇Beautiful location, very friendly and helpful staff who went above and beyond. Fresh, tasty food which was plentiful (with lots of vegan options). Resort is lovely, super clean, lots of animals on the property. Despite being wet season, we had plenty of sunshine, and saw a great variety of birds and animals. We did all the activities (horse riding, canoe, boat rides, walk, night safari) and all were excellent. Guide was A+++ and highly knowledgeable. Sunrise and sunset views were especially beautiful.
