We (me, my wife and 2 kids) were supposed to stay at Beehouse - Ilha do Mel for 3 nights. The trip from Curitiba to Pontal was very nice and straightforward by rental car. We parked by close to the docks and the parking staff took our bags to the boat. The half hour crossing to Nova Brasilia was smooth. Once there, our luggage was taken to the pousada on a cart. The arrival at Beehouse was good, they received us very well. We booked the chalet, which is a shed detached from the main house, in the backyard of the property. The room was supposed to accommodate the 4 of us, but it was not big enough for a couple. The electrical installations were very precarious.

Read moreA very lovely little place to stay in Farol village. Romulo and his wide are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Breakfast is delicious and plentiful. Rooms are very comfortable, big bed, cable TV, private mini-deck, ensuite. Wifi is decent too. Tried the tuna burger for dinner one night and it was surprisingly good! Quite close to a few beaches.

The rooms are not very big, but when visiting Ilha do Mel you don't want to stay in your room all day anyway. Beehouse has a nice veranda at the back where you can relax in the hammock. At the front of the B&B is the breakfast area which is also a restaurant with delicious food. The breakfast is nice with homemade cakes and different types of...
