The views and access to private beach were sensational! My family enjoyed our stay in our flat that overlooked the beautiful ocean. When visiting Buzios, we will choose to stay here rather than in town. The beach and views are to die for, and it’s a quick trip in town to enjoy shops, restaurants and other beaches. Going to sleep and waking up at Apa Pau was a dream. We could hear waves crashing and watch sea turtles and sea birds from above. We were in heaven!

A estadia foi excelente, o flat quádruplo é enorme, com todos os utensílios necessários: fogão com forno, micro-ondas, geladeira, ar condicionado nos dois quartos, uma vista maravilhosa e muito confortável. O café da manhã é variado e muito saboroso. Todos os funcionários foram atenciosos e educados. Não utilizei o restaurante mas não há muita variedade de comidas. O bar tem drinks bacanas.

Uma experiência singular!

A localização é perfeita para quem deseja relaxar e curtir a natureza. Linda vista do hotel para praia. O staff é muito atencioso (do atendimento ao restaurante), com destaque para Yuri, Vantuí (ambos do atendimento) e Carlos (do restaurante). Quarto e roupas de cama bem limpos. Ótimo Café da manhã. O restaurante da praia, que pertence ao hotel, serviu um almoço delicioso (anchova frita para dois) e tb serviu uma caipivodka muito bem preparada. Pontos negativos: o restaurante do hotel tem poucas opções no cardápio para o jantar (04 ou 05 pratos principais, no máximo). Pedimos um pene no alho/óleo e um frango e afirmo que estava pouco elaborado (comida sem graça). Por ser mais afastado, o hotel deveria apresentar um cardápio mais elaborado, nem tanto na quantidade, mas, principalmente, no quesito qualidade. Poderia oferecer também mais opções para os seus hospedes, como pizzas (uns 03 sabores) e ao menos 01 ou 02 tipos de sanduiche. Outro ponto de atenção é o suporte técnico/manutenção. Por ser distante, é imprescindível ter alguém de plantão para eventualidades. Nós tivemos problemas com o aparelho de refrigeração, o split não resfriava o quarto de jeito algum e não havia ninguém da manutenção para avaliar (isso foi sábado a noite). Graças a uma desistência, conseguimos trocar de quarto, caso contrário teríamos que dormir num calor absurdo. Acho que o hotel tem muito potencial, mas precisa oferecer mais conforto para o seu hóspede.

Foi uma experiência incrível! Realmente recomendo que quem for, vá de carro, se quiser sair do resort e fazer outros passeios. Mas da tranquilamente para ficar apenas lá. Tem tudo! O atendimento foi ótimo, a vista era incrível. Os petiscos e bebidas que pedimos enquanto ficamos na piscina estavam deliciosos, e o café da manhã simplesmente completo! Só o jantar que era simples, mas apetitoso também.

Pousada para relaxar!

Segunda vez que volto. Gosto muito da localização, afastado de tudo, local para sossegar. Eu faço 30 min de carro para o centro de Búzios, e é isso que eu gosto, a pousada fica com uma praia privativa, com uma piscina enorme, café da manhã variado, e os funcionários são educadíssimos. Jantar uma delícia, petisco bem servido. Minha pousada preferida para descansar.

Boa, no geral, mas nao voltaria devido ao caminho

Estadia boa, funcionários super simpaticos. Unico ponto ruim foi a chegada ate a pousada. O caminho é simplesmente pessimo, rua de chão, toda esburacada, alagada, escura, no meio da mata, sem qualquer iluminação, detonando o carro. Distante da rua das pedras e em virtude da rua ser pessima, da muita pena de colocar o carro nesse caminho. Isso te obriga a ficar dentro do hotel o tempo todo.

Foi ótimo ,mas poderia ter sido melhor !!

Os quartos possuem uma porta ,que funciona como uma união entre suítes ,quando desejável,porém que atrapalha demais ,pois passa muito barulho dos outros hóspedes.Para quem gosta de natureza ,o lugar é perfeito,tem várias atividades neste sentido,café da manhã farto.Na questão de limpeza,quando cheguei tudo limpinho e cheiroso,mas acredito que poderia ser diária a arrumação dos quartos. Ah o checkout às 10h da manhã também me deixou insatisfeita ,pois tive que acordar cedo para tomar o café e deixar o hotel.Enfim ,foi ótimo ,mas poderia ter sido melhor !!!
