Hotel Pousada Machê

This is a very welcoming and comfortable place to stay in what is becoming an increasingly busy little tourist town. The staff were friendly and always willing to help out with any issues. The grounds are pleasant with tropical plants scattered around the central swimming pool. We had a superior suite which was spacious although it could do with a bit more furniture. The breakfasts were buffet style, very extensive choice, much of it home-cooked.

Wifi signal was weak in some areas, we tended to sit out on the balcony if we wanted to use the internet. This is an old pousada that has undergone recent renovation. The upgrade of the rooms is good but the bathrooms still have the older brutalist, concrete slab design which is rather basic. The location of the pousada is at the end of a no-through road so the pousada is generally quiet by day. At night, you do hear some noise from the late night bars in town although I suspect this only affects the rooms on the upper floor.
