Florianopolis hotels near Barra da Lagoa Beach

Cons: Due to circumstances we had to arrive one day later the initial date. We called the pousada in advance and agreed with the owner that we will arrive later, and he promised by phone we will not be charged for the day we are not there. However, we were charged for this day on the checkout. I don't understand why the owner lied to us. So mind that if you change something, it should be in written. Additionally, in the room there was a strange smell from the bed, the bathroom was also smelly from the very beginning. To our taste the breakfast was poor and the coffee was from the powder, not real beans and could only be with sugar or very strong. To be fair, the staff tried to adjust to some of our wishes for the breakfast, but in general it wasn't much better after it. All in all we were highly disappointed.

Pros: Amazing staff! Super clean, great location, and hospitable staff. Spacious and comfortable room. Highly recommend it!

Cons: Breakfast was alright. Coffee wasn’t that great.

Pros: The location is a quiet area, very close to the beach and within a walking distance from the city center! The room had everything needed and was clean.

Cons: Unfortunately there were no lights switched on inside the pool during the night, although they did seem to have them.

Pros: The location is fantastic. Only a few minutes walk to Molė beach. The staff were very friendly and chatty.

Cons: We ordered a private room for around £40 pn, which look great from the pictures. Unfortunately our expectations were not met, as we were given a tiny, cave like room underneath a dorm, that achieved very little sunlight or ventilation. The showers were either broken, freezing cold, outside, or had protruding live electrical wires. The fridge and kitchen area was disgusting. The bar / restaurant area was hardly ever open, even during the advertised periods.

Pros: Breakfast mediocre but ok!

Cons: Sometimes bathrooms could have been cleaner.

Pros: Staff were great, wifi coverage was great. Cool pool area. The restaurant has a amazing view over the lagoon. The hostel is in a great location to the markets and praia mole. Bus station outside hostel aswell. The beds were comfortable also.

Cons: There were no curtains to shut to block out the sun in the morning.

Pros: The guy at the reception who helped me to sort out my flight - you are a lifesaver <3

Pros: Great location. Great view. Good vibe.

Cons: Room is smell like a very old house. Metress is not that confertable.

Pros: Absolutely beautiful view from the upper deck area. It's great to sit up there with a beer even if the food is just alright. Staff was really really friendly!

Cons: Location makes it a bit isolated. You can get around with Uber but be prepared for some SERIOUS standstill traffic. Not enough bathrooms for so many people.

Pros: Swimming pool and views were nice.

Cons: Breakfast was not value for money - one plate with cheese and ham, two pieces of bread and a choice of two pieces of fruit. Communal kitchens were very dirty. Not much of a common area for hanging around. Location was isolated from nearby towns.

Pros: the hostel facilities. How some staff people treat people!

Cons: Too much effort to reach rooms with stairs.

Pros: The sunset view from the hostel was really amazing!

Cons: Bathroom wasn't very clean and there were 2 bathrooms for several people.

Pros: I liked the location and the pool, and the attention of one girl Brazilian native dinner server. I liked the room we stayed had some separate rooms inside, I think there should be more rooms like them. I liked the hot water of shower, not all hostels have hot water. The breakfast was great and the two Argentinians girls at the bar so nice.

Cons: The receptionists should be more capable of resolve necessities of clients, some of them didn’t know how to speak other languages than Portuguese. There is not enough communication between receptionists about the reservations that visitors made; one of them didn’t know if our reservation had already been paid when we were about leaving and paying the days. The kitchen was too small for the many guests the hostel take, one night there were many people in the kitchen we couldn’t almost cook, the state of the kitchen was sometimes very dirty, I took a picture of the kitchen cleaning pool. More, One morning I needed to enter the kitchen to look for something and the Argentinian guy who was cleaning was unpolite and as gentle to say I couldn’t get in. I didn’t like the organization for the free drink, sometimes guests let their cups and were served before the ones who left the cups and arrived first.

Pros: The staff is very helpful and always giving attention. The room was very clean.

Cons: It needs some repairs.
