Lugar aconchegante em meio a natureza, eu e minha filha fomos recebidas com muito carinho pelos anfitriões Maycom e Suelen, pessoas incríveis e sempre preocupados com nosso bem estar, nos sentimos como da família. O café da manhã, hummmmm.... Delicioso! Da água 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 precária, porém acho que faz parte da região, anfitriã super simpática, faz de tudo para agradar ao hóspede e dá várias 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.
