Pousada Estação do Sol — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Angra dos Reis

Stayed here 27th-30th December 2013 and therefore I believe that the pousada had put their prices up as the quality that they delivered certainly wasn't worth what we paid. ||||The hotel is outside of the centre of Paraty and it took us 15-20 mins to walk into the centre (I don't know why other reviews are saying 40 mins. Also the hill isn't that big!) It's right on the beach at Jabaquara and there are plenty of bars and restaurants, so in my mind, the location is perfect.||||The hotel is like an American motel style with your room door facing an outside courtyard area. There's also access to the pool. We used the pool once in the evening and it was very pleasant, the water wasn't too cold. However there didn't seem to be enough loungers to accommodate all the people that wanted to use the pool.||||The room was ok in that it had two beds - one single and one double and a bathroom. On the plus side: beds were comfy, the AC worked and there was plenty of hot water and good water pressure. On the minus side: the decor is dated, basic and clunky; windows wouldn't stay open; no toiletries to use; no hairdryer; no safe and we were not given towels on our first day. When we asked about the towels, no one seemed to understand and kept fobbing us off to go and ask someone else. We hoped that the maid would give us some the next day, but our room wasn't cleaned. It was then we noticed the sign that you have to hand your key into reception to get your room cleaned (this sign is in Portuguese only). Also on the minus side, there seemed to be tiny insects all over the floor near the wall.||||The breakfast was one of the best I had in Brazil as there was so much choice and so much of it. Cakes, bread, cheese, meats, fruit, cereal, yogurt, juice etc and the room for breakfast was very pleasant, overlooking the sea although having the TV on was quite annoying and intrusive.||||The staff were tricky and disinterested. They do not speak any English, but thankfully my friend speaks basic Portuguese, so we managed to resolve the issues with the towels and they booked us a taxi to the bus station.||||Personally, if I had a choice I wouldn't stay here again, but I would definitely stay in Jabaquara, it's a...

The room we booked 3 months in advance and paid a deposit for was not available so we were downgraded. Initially they still wanted the full price. After an hour discussion trying to explain that this was not acceptable (no one speaks any English so we had to speak in broken Spanish) they decided our room was available. The staff were not remotely apologetic at any point and made us feel we were an inconvenience.||We were paying the vastly inflated prices around new year as is standard in Brazil (565 BRL per night) and yet they did not clean our room once in 4 days! We had to ask for clean towels and more soap. The sheet did not fit the bed and so could not be tucked in at all sides.||The rooms are mediocre and looking dated with windows that don't close properly (letting Mosquitos in), the air conditioning unit is old and very loud. The sheet did not fit the bed and so could not be tucked in at all sides.||The pool is reasonably nice but there is no shade at all and some grimey tide marks. ||The location is directly opposite Jabaquera beach and near the very nice restaurant Luna but a long way from the historic centre (40 mins over a steep hill) which is where all the sights and good restaurants are.||Comfortably the worst value room I have ever...

A pousada é simplesmente HORRÍVEL. Logo na chegada, a funcionária tentou nos dar um golpe e nos colocar num quarto que não era o referente à nossa reserva (tipo assim, se colar, colou). Ao entrarmos no quarto, ficamos em choque com o barraco que ela queria que a gente aceitasse, ao custo de 630 reais a diária. Quase desmaiamos com o cheiro de mofo. Tinha tanta sujeira impregnada no piso que eu não acreditava no que estava vendo. O tempo estava chuvoso e havia alagamentos na pousada por todos os lugares, inclusive o corredor desse quarto estava totalmente alagado, com água entrando no quarto por baixo da porta. Tinha água até nos sofás da recepção. Não aceitamos o golpe do quarto e magicamente, mesmo ela tendo dito antes que a pousada estava lotada, apareceu um quarto um pouco melhor na parte superior. Melhorzinho, mas bem pouco. O outro quarto continuava sendo horrível, fedia mofo, a porta balcão não fechava direito, então ficava entrando pernilongo, frigobar barulhento e desmanchando de tão velho e tanta sujeira, móveis antigos e fedorentos, tomadas imundas e caindo da parede, colchão e travesseiros horríveis, vaso sanitário torto, chuveiro preso no teto com um pedaço de fio e pra completar o circo dos horrores, a primeira noite passamos NO ESCURO porque a única lâmpada do quarto estava com mau contato e quando acendia, ficava piscando sem parar, o que tornava seu uso impossível. Tivemos que usar a lanterna do celular, INACREDITÁVEL. A recepcionista tentou dar um jeito, mas óbvio que não conseguiu, e claro que não havia um funcionário para manutenção. Dia seguinte, hora do café: nem isso salvou. Café da manhã horrível, a comida fica em uns potes plásticos tipo tupperware totalmente encardidos. Tem uns doces horríveis que as funcionárias ficam indo se servir pra comer em vez de lavarem a louça e deixarem a cozinha minimamente decente. A pia fica de louça suja quase até o teto, enquanto as funcionárias batem papo e comem os doces do buffet. Não fazem reposição de vários itens do café e nem mesmo de talheres, tive que pedir pra lavarem uma faca pra eu poder cortar o pão. Lavaram e jogaram na bancada pingando água mesmo, as funcionárias sequer secam a louça. Não bastasse isso tudo, encontrei duas baratas mortas pelo salão do café. Nota-se que o local não tem limpeza, pois as baratas ficaram lá e não teve um funcionário que se deu ao trabalho de recolher. As vagas do estacionamento são insuficientes para a quantidade de quartos, não tem manobrista e óbvio que virou um caos. Para alguém sair, outros carros precisam ser manobrados pelos próprios hóspedes, então se o seu carro estiver na frente de alguém que vai sair de madrugada, vc mesmo precisa levantar e ir manobrar o carro, seja a hora que for, inclusive na chuva, pois o local não é coberto. Se não conseguir estacionar na pousada vai ter que pagar pra estacionar na rua e a rua ALAGA com a chuva. A pousada não é apenas feia e horrível, é um ESCÁRNIO com os hóspedes. Essa, sem dúvida, foi a PIOR HOSPEDAGEM em que já ficamos. Os donos deveriam ter VERGONHA de oferecer uma hospedagem tão baixo nível, pior ainda com o...
