We were a bit tepid about booking a hotel for 2 full weeks for our honeymoon but were relieved once we arrived at Pousada Colonial.
The staff was amazing. A huge hug goes out to the management. They were so helpful, knowledgeable, personable, and accommodating. One night we planned a spur of the moment trip to Morro de Sao Paulo and at 2 in the morning they helped us contact hotels on the island and to make reservations. We were greeted by name each morning. When we arrived they gave us copies of our passports. We told them where we were going one day and they verified the address online just to make sure it was safe for us. So many little things were done by the staff to make our stay wonderful.
Breakfast was always excellent. Great fruit, bread, cheese bread, tea, and natural juice.
The pousada itself is a short walk to the historic area and close to most anything interesting in the city by taxi. I never felt unsafe when walking back to the pousada, even late at night. It is a gorgeous building, easily the best looking pousada on the street.
The room was simple. It was always well organized and clean when we came back for the day. The mattress was comfortable. The bathroom was very clean.
This place was amazing. We loved it. When we came back from our trip from Morro de Sao Paulo, my wife said it felt like we were coming home.
