Vila Dos Orixás Boutique Hotel

Proximity to the beach. Good communication pre-arrival. The adorable kitten (probably abandoned) found in the property (see photo). All guests were enjoying its company and my heart was broken to leave it there. I would adopt it if not leaving abroad - it would need at least 2 months to complete vaccines/ blood tests and documents.

There were too many mosquitoes in the room. Although mosquito spray was available, doors and windows had no protection to prevent them to come inside. The beaches were full of plastic and waste. Although it is not fault from hotel, it would be interesting to see some engagement from hotel owners to protect the area and give the a good example to guests. Island is full of abandoned cats and over explored horses. Again, although not a fault from hotel, horses need food and owners need to be educated to do not starve these working horses. Just get them out of property is not a good example. Island also needs to engage with castration campaigns.
