Pousada Maravilha — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata do Recife

All the hotels on Noronha are small. 4-10 rooms. This is one of the best (most expensive) and is a lovely place to spend your time on the island. What really makes it special is the team - especially Wally and Leticia - who make you feel incredibly welcome and help you squeeze everything out of your stay on the island. Total stars. Although closer to the airport than most hotels (2 min drive), but you would have no idea of that. We didn't seen a plane apart from the ones we arrived and left on (and there are very few flights per day). The hotel also has first rate 'facilities' given its size. Wifi is good enough if you need to do a videoconference, each room streams multiple TV channels (we watched a lot of US Open), and there is an air-conditioned running machine with a view, if you'd rather not run in the heat.||So would wholeheartedly recommend Maravilha. What's more complex is Noronha. It is universally reviewed as a stunning beautiful marine paradise. And is IS absolutely stunning. But it's also logistically hard to get to (will probably be much of a day spent travelling each way), and 50% more expensive than the mainland (and less great for dining quality). That's an inevitable cost for being on a remote island (and it is still much cheaper than equivalent Caribbean islands). BUT it's not a no brainer whether to make this part of your vacation if it's multi-location, rather than just your return trip from SP. We loved it. Stunning beaches and lots of nature to explore. But Brazil is so full of treasures, you'll need to decide whether the price/travel is worth it to include this one.||Until you're there, you also don't think about other aspects of the location. There is no operating theatre on the island - any complex medical event will require evacuation by plane. So if your health needs make that a risk, be aware that it is hours away from a full hospital. I am also in 2 minds about the merits of the 'buggies'. They look cool, and my son adored it. But they are hell to drive, and felt very unsafe (I am not a fraidy-cat normally). Taxis are a perfectly...

It’s historically the list beautiful Pousada in the Island. The reception, deck and pool have an unbeatable view of the Atlantic Ocean. Sadly the beach below the hotel is closed to swimmers. We were in a family room with two beds with a mezzanine floor above for our children. Our rooms are I. Desperate need a refresh in turms of decoration, bathrooms, electrics etc. They were nothing like the hotel reception or pool area. The Pousada is small so it’s perfect for families but maybe not for couples on honeymoon. There is very little space and no privacy. The staff are friendly and very helpful providing advice and bookings for very reliable local taxi’s restaurants, booking snorkeling gear etc. Should I return I would ask the Pousada reception staff to arrange all my outings and excursions. The hotel operator I used was unprofessional and disorganized .The hotel is booked on a bed and breakfast basis. The breakfast is varied and abundant. Sadly everything else needs to be paid separately even the drinking water in the bedrooms. This is incorrect given that the tap water is not drinkable. We ate dinner at the Pousada once, sadly the sunsets on the other side of the island so there is no view. The food is good, expensive and the service...

For starters, the setting is spectacular. This 12 room hotel has beautiful view of the baia dos tubarões and may be the only pousada on FdN that has an ocean view. There two pool, hammocks, covered lounge chairs from which to view the ocean. The food at breakfast, lunch and dinner is very good. The breakfast was really good with fruits, pastries, breads and made to order options The service throughout the hotel is excellent and the staff is friendly and helpful. The front desk will help you to book excursions, rent a buggy or make dinner reservations at other restaurants. T Our room 217 had an ocean view, a deck with table, chairs and a love seat. The room was comfortable and I particularly liked the bed. The bathroom is large enough and the shower is great. There is a small, but nicely equipped gym which is hidden near the entrance. The wi-fi is surprisingly good given the remoteness of the location. One drawback is you have to re-log on every day for every device you have connected. We had a wonderful...
