My husband and I recently spent a delightful week at the Baia do Joao Eco Pousada. It is a lovely, small hotel with caring and impeccable service. Every member of the staff was exceptionally friendly, helpful and gracious. They each went out of their way to be of any assistance that we could request. The daily breakfast was consistently fresh and delicious - including homemade breads & cakes, real juices and a variety of fresh fruits along with cheeses, meats and whatever eggs you wanted. The hotel is conveniently located towards the end of the Buzios peninsula - far enough away from the bustle of the centro area where the majority of the shopping and restaurants are located but easy to get to in 10 minutes with a $3 Uber ride. It is within walking distance to the beautiful João Fernandes beach and has a wonderful and very clean pool which was always a fantastic temperature (not too cold or too warm) that came in handy given the formidable heat during our time in Buzios. The room and bed were quite comfortable and the cleaning staff was available daily. The view of the sea from our room and balcony was “to die for.” Of course having a spectacular view means you are up on a hill but if climbing up or down the hill is an issue (as it was for me) the Ubers were generally easy to obtain and inexpensive. I enthusiastically recommend this pousada to anyone seeking a peaceful, well-located, well-run small hotel near the Buzios beaches.

“AMAZING! Like look at my picures!”

Great staff: I have never met such friendly staff as this hotel before! It’s my favorite! I got to meet a beautiful person there.

Great staff: I have never met such friendly staff as this hotel before! It’s my favorite! I got to meet a beautiful person there. Even though we had a language barrier, I still smile and spoke just a tiny bit of Spanish. We were able to still laugh and communicate. I got to see her smile and laugh and be playful with the cute cats! She cooked me such good and sweet eggs when I go down for breakfast. Ive never ate such sweet Eggs before until I met her. I am not sure how to spell her name but her name is Dannie. I am super thankful that my boyfriends sisters husband translated everything for me in Portuguese. Every day I got to share my smiles, laughing, and hugs. Room #2: The view of the hotel I stayed from #2 has left me so much memories. I have never traveled with anyone besides my family. The room is super clean, the VIEW IS AMAZING! Both DAY AND NIGHT! I loved the service that was provided for us. The pool is so clean! I got to swim there without any issues. The air is refreshing along with the AC in our room. The pillows so soft when I slept, it was asleep within 10 minutes. I was very comfy with my hotel room and had no issues. I love the bathroom! Nice glass screen like. No curtains. Everything clean and organized. Only thing is the shower lacked was the power of the water. Felt like rain hitting you. Besides that, I’m still happy and felt clean. Cleaning service: They cleaned my room with such care and organized all of our stuff while we were out. I always say hi to the ladies and I was greeted with a smile and kind gestures they did They paid for my laundry while I didn’t have enough and I paid when I got back. Now that’s what I called customer service. I even got a picture of us! I trust everyone that worked at that hotel! Another view close by: Even when leaving the hotel, ignoring the hills that I had to exercise my life hahah, my legs wobble and when I got there. It’s a balcony, like a pier some type and right as you leave the hotel, there was another view of the ocean. There, my boyfriend proposed to me!!! I told the stuff and I was able to share my happiness with them. I couldn’t hug them more enough. I couldn’t be more thankful to all the staff that has made my vacation there fun and exciting. I truly enjoyed my stay with Baio Do João! GREAT TEAM WORK!

We just visited Baia do João Eco Pousada again with my dog Freddy. It has been 13 months since we were here. Amazingly, Freddy seemed to remember the pousada. His tail was wagging and he was smiling when we entered the front door. After receiving a dog treat he immediately ran to the dog park and played and smelled the other dog scents. On our drive here from Petrópolis we stayed at a different pet friendly Airbnb and he was not excited like this when we entered that location. We had a great time too enjoying the amazing views of the ocean from the pool. Karl a d Rita are excellent hosts. But this review is really from Freddy. He gives his stay a full paw print of five points. We will definitely be back again and again.
