“Beautiful Pool and Grounds”

The Pousada La Mandragoria provide a central location in beautiful Buzios, Brazil. Although very plain from the road, the public areas of the hotel were lovely, especially the large pool and sitting areas/restaurant. The modern appearance of these areas was in contrast with the rustic hotel rooms, which were very simple but adequate. The pool area was lush with gorgeous foliage, good service, and overlooked a well-maintained tennis court. Also a squash court for enthusiasts! Dining at the modern restaurant was a pleasant surprise, providing tasty food at reasonable prices in an upscale atmosphere. Marcelo at the front desk provided us with great suggestions of local restaurants and beaches, and the hotel provided a shuttle service to beaches/attractions.

“Ok Hotel/Pousada, poor location.”

Buzios have so many places to stay, but this is not among the best. The hotel is clean, has a nice pool-area, the room was decent and most of the employees was very friendly, except one. There is a small supermarket across the street with basic daily needs. The hotel is within walking-distance to … more

Buzios have so many places to stay, but this is not among the best. The hotel is clean, has a nice pool-area, the room was decent and most of the employees was very friendly, except one. There is a small supermarket across the street with basic daily needs. The hotel is within walking-distance to the center of Buzios but unless You enjoy a 20 minute walk each way choose another pousada closer to "Rua das Pedras", the walking street. A taxi is 15 reals one way. Another drawback is the location close to the main road. Sometimes it was difficult to sleep because of the traffic. Another sleep-problem was one of the neighbors dog, barking during the night. Also a 20 minute walk to Praia Ferradura. Breakfast is not included and costs way too much. 20 USD pr person/pr day for youghurt, bread, ham, cheese, 3 types of fruits, 2 types of cakes, juice, coffe, tea and scrambled eggs. I also found it rude when I was corrected when trading in two wet, sandy beachtowels for two clean ones to use by the pool; " only one towel pr day/pr person".

“OK pousada, clean, recently renovated. Boring location”

Stayed here for 2 nights. Nice property, recently renovated. Staff was good, helped me set up a golf game and rent a buggy. They have a tennis court, so I was able to hit some balls with my wife. That was a nice surprise. Hotel's location is not good. Not near the water, and not near the downtown… more

Stayed here for 2 nights. Nice property, recently renovated. Staff was good, helped me set up a golf game and rent a buggy. They have a tennis court, so I was able to hit some balls with my wife. That was a nice surprise. Hotel's location is not good. Not near the water, and not near the downtown of Buzios, so that's why we rented the buggy. Food was not bad. We ate a meal in the restaurant and we really liked the pool area. Lots of space, nice pool, and very comfortable. One big problem. Lots of mosquitos. They said this was a persistent problem in Buzios, but we did not have this problem in the other 2 hotels we stayed at in Buzios...
