São Benedito Church Tours

The breakfast/dining room was so delightful. Every morning we would have the most vibrant/colorful birds visit. This hotel has such a tranquil vibe and we wished we had more days to stay there. The staff is very kind & helpful. We loved our stay!

This was a beautiful place to relax after spending the previous week in Rio. You might not have any cellular service at the last highway turn so it would be a good idea to set this destination on a couple of navigation apps. The last few km of road is quite rough. Cellular service reconnects as you get down the road and close to the beach. Drive slowly for the last bit. The staff was very welcoming/accommodating of our requests. They are very responsive via WhatsApp. The property has great WiFi coverage. Vivo LTE coverage via a USA T-Mobile sim card worked fine at the beach and in the rooms. The locale is a sleepy fishing/tourist village. Choices for food are pretty much this pousada and a neighboring restaurant. There are a couple of kiosks and a minimarket within walking distance that are open slightly later, but everything closes early here. The kiosks don't look like much but they still take international cards. If you want dinner after 6 pm on a weeknight you may need to drive to Paraty. The location is QUIET (except during nearby fire and brimstone church services) and extremely peaceful. The swimming pool was clean and well maintained and the rooms have air conditioning. Paraty is a 30 minute drive each way. You'll need WhatsApp setup on your phone to communicate with Paraty's parking officials. We prepaid our stay though Expedia. For meals in their restaurant they kept a total and we paid in full with a credit card at checkout.

Travelled with 2 adults and 2 kids. Got a double room. Lots of space, beautiful pool. Excellent chef! Unfortunately there was an issue with the plumbing and our toilet flooded twice. The hotel asks you to put your used toilet paper in the garbage -while gross this apparently is standard in Brazil. We did that the whole time yet it still flooded. Which was gross. The hotel was really good about it and moved us to another room but it was a major inconvenience.
