We spent 8 beautiful days in Pousada Quarto Crescente, and it was hands down the best stay in my travels over 5 continents and 44 countries. The hospitality and attention to the guests of the owners of this place is incomparable. The hotel grounds are a tropical paradise, with exotic trees and flowers, birds. ||||Joana, the owner's daughter, is there daily to insure every guest is happy and enjoyed breakfast ( which is composed of eggs any style, a number of natural tropical juices which change daily - including goiaba, cocoa, passion fruit, cashew fruit, cupuacu, detox juice, etc , quiches to die for, typical Brazilian finger foods, tapiocas ( salty and sweet), 3 cakes chat also change daily, yogurts, breads, you name it). Oh, and there is also an afternoon tea, that is a full meal on its own - with a soup, quiches, finger foods, cakes, etc! Everything is of the top quality and very tasty.||||The room we stayed in ( Aquarela) was in one of the newest cottages, on the first floor, and I'd gladly stay there forever - a very spacious and beaitiuful room in Trancoso style, with white drapes around the beds, huge bathroom with double shower and a jacuzzi for 2, TVs in the room and in the bathroom, a very spacious terrace with a hammock ( we spent lotsa time there reading and napping), chairs, and a table. We had beautiful tropical flowers in our bathroom, that were changed every other day, it was such a nice touch. I highly recommend to book this room, we felt so much comfort and attention to detail, also, as it's on the first ( and not ground) floor, we had a beautiful view of the flowering banana tree right in of our terrace. Ground floor rooms are good too, as many of them have small private gardens, and the Pousada territory is full of blooming orchids and is very green.||||Hotel is offering free transfers to and from a number of beaches ( our favorite one was the Coqueiros beach, you need to walk a bit to the right past the beach clubs with chairs and umbrellas to find the whole stretch of the sand to yourself in the shade of a tree). Also, as a guest you may have unlimited popcorn and brigadeiro ( Brazilian tradicional desert) pretty much all day, for free.||||But what impressed me most was that during the Christmas Eve the hotel owners offered a full TOP NOTCH Christmas Eve dinner for hotel guests..for free!!! Both owners' children, Joana and Ian, were there to personally ensure the guests enjoyed the evening, pouring wine ( that again, they didn't charge for), and making sure we were enjoying. That was so impressive... they could charge for the dinner, but they didn't. They could not be there personally, but there were. They could provide just OK food, but they provided the best food they could, and I never had a better turkey in my life ( not counting filet mignon, freshest local fish, side Brazilian dishes, salads, deserts...)||||Oh, and we've got our favorite cake ( the one topped with cashew nuts) given to us to take home upon our check out on the last day...||||I can't wait to return. I can't thank enough the owners ( Peter, Eunice) and their kids ( Joana, Ian), and the employees ( Maiara, Erica, Aline, Felipe) for taking an amazing care of us in their amazing Hotel. Thank you, my friends!
