“Cheap and reasonable option to stay in Porto de Galinhas”

I stayed at this place for one night with my wife a couple weeks ago while visiting Porto de Galinhas beach. The "pousada" is located in a street next to the main road and it's about 5 minutes within walking distance to the city center (where all restaurants and stores are) and the beach. If you're driving, you can park your car right next to the entrance (they've got security cameras outside). The place itself is very very small. Expect a small pool, small rooms and narrow corridors. However, everything is very tidy and clean and the room we stayed was very comfortable despite it's size. The air-conditioning worked great, the bed was comfortable and there's even a mini-fridge (something rare to see around in places with similar fares, believe it or not). So I can pretty much say that almost everything worked fine and just like I expected for what I was paying for. Now for the downsides: when we first entered our room, it was infested with mosquitoes. After we killed them all, we've got no further problems. Just make sure to keep your room door and window shut. The main problem we've got was related to outside noise. Since the corridors are narrow and the rooms are very close to each other, the sound isolation is poor and you can hear anything from the outside. We were unlucky to have extremely rude neighbors who arrived at the hotel late at night and talked/laughed very loud, waking us up. We politely asked them to stop, but they refused. So we've got to ask someone from the staff to make them stop, and they finally did. This episode was stressful and embarrassing. I think that the hotel staff should be better prepared to instruct and inhibit the guests from such bad behavior. I'm quite sure they were aware of what was happening but yet, they did nothing until I asked them to. I think it would be completely unfair if I rated this place badly for this single issue. The overall experience was good and I will definitely give it another chance.
