Lugar aconchegante em meio a natureza, eu e minha filha fomos recebidas com muito carinho pelos anfitriÔes Maycom e Suelen, pessoas incríveis e sempre preocupados com nosso bem estar, nos sentimos como da família. O café da manhã, hummmmm.... Delicioso! Da ågua na boca só de lembrar da banana frita na manteiga com canela! Com certeza quando voltarmos pra guarda é aqui que iremos ficar! Super recomendo!!!

Muito bom

Localização boa, perto da praia, infraestrutura um pouco precåria, porém acho que faz parte da região, anfitriã super simpåtica, faz de tudo para agradar ao hóspede e då vårias dicas de onde ir. Sugestão: investir um pouco para melhorar o conforto nos quartos, como colocar cortinas blackout em todas as janelas e um colchão bom.
