Deck Da Villa Pousada Hotel

This was a beautiful place to relax after spending the previous week in Rio. You might not have any cellular service at the last highway turn so it would be a good idea to set this destination on a couple of navigation apps. The last few km of road is quite rough. Cellular service reconnects as you get down the road and close to the beach. Drive slowly for the last bit.The staff was very welcoming/accommodating of our requests. They are very responsive via WhatsApp. The property has great WiFi coverage. Vivo LTE coverage via a USA T-Mobile sim card worked fine at the beach and in the rooms.The locale is a sleepy fishing/tourist village. Choices for food are pretty much this pousada and a neighboring restaurant. There are a couple of kiosks and a minimarket within walking distance that are open slightly later, but everything closes early here. The kiosks don't look like much but they still take international cards. If you want dinner after 6 pm on a weeknight you may need to drive to Paraty. The location is QUIET (except during nearby fire and brimstone church services) and extremely peaceful. The swimming pool was clean and well maintained and the rooms have air conditioning. Paraty is a 30 minute drive each way. You'll need WhatsApp setup on your phone to communicate with Paraty's parking officials. We prepaid our stay though Expedia. For meals in their restaurant they kept a total and we paid in full with a credit card at checkout.
