Barreirinhas Apartments

Gran Lencois apartments appear 4 times when looking up Barreierinhas accommodation on ***********. They are all the same complex, just the different types of apartments it houses. We stayed in the most basic apartment type, which is a typical hotel room. It comes facing greenery, unlike the pool view more expensive apartments on the other side of the hall. It has a large bed and a sofa bed we used for our suitcases, a decent sized bathroom with a shower with great water pressure, though our showerhead needed replacing as it sprayed very unevenly. There is soap but no other toiletries. The television required a Sky sign-in so we didn’t use it. There is also a fridge and a balcony. The giant pool with swim-up bar is a feature of the complex. The restaurant offers an excellent buffet breakfast for an extra $US6 per person and is also open for lunch and dinner. This is probably a good thing as it’s not simple to get into the main town from the hotel. There is a tour office there as well and a laundry. All tours pick up at the hotel. We paid $US35 per night. There is a lot of competition for accommodation in Barreirinhas, with upscale and more basic options all around. We were happy enough with our choice and Gran Lencois should definitely be considered if coming here. Check out my other reviews of places, hotels and experiences throughout South America.
