Pousada Recanto do Jabaquara

Noisy room, remote location, poor beach access The hotel is generally pleasant with friendly staff, but my experience was unfortunately disappointing on several points. My room was right next to the reception, which made it very noisy at night. People were talking loudly, sometimes after 10 p.m., despite a sign asking for silence. I recommend avoiding room 16 if you want to sleep well, especially if you’re sensitive to noise. Breakfast starts at 8 a.m., which is too late for travelers with early departures. No alternative like a takeaway option is offered—something quite common elsewhere. This lack of flexibility is inconvenient and frustrating. The hotel is far from the city center. Although technically covered by Uber, it’s very hard to find one. A few local drivers use the app, but most taxis set prices based on Uber estimates—then charge even more. Taxis are expensive, scarce, and wait times are long. This makes getting around stressful and can really affect your overall trip experience. Another surprising and disappointing detail: there was no shampoo provided in the room—something I’ve never encountered before in a hotel, regardless of category. Lastly, I chose this hotel because of its location near the beach, but it was a letdown. The beach is muddy, stagnant, full of mosquitoes, and definitely not suitable for swimming or relaxing. In short, I regret booking this hotel. For comfort, convenience, and a proper beach, I recommend staying closer to the city center.

Beautiful rooms, family friendly, nice breakfast and pool.

Great breakfast with a fair price as you stay out of historic center. Definitely I would recommend it.
