I was unsure what to expect from this hotel. I booked it based on reviews online, but was later told by locals that it may not meet my expectations as an American traveler. Indeed, the room was a bit smaller than I had hoped for, and upon my arrival, a colleague who was joining me advised that he had booked a different hotel for me. I therefore had to move to another accommodation. The hotel staff was very helpful in this matter, which I greatly appreciated. I did stay one night at the Pousada, and enjoyed the wonderful breakfast in the morning. Had I been travelling for vacation rather than business, I may have preferred the Pousada, as it was very well located on a fun part of the beach, and the room is less important when you're spending the day on the beach. Unfortunately, because I was travelling for work, I needed a bit more space in my room though.
