Pousada Minha Louca Paixão

My husband and I were in Morro de São Paulo to celebrate our honeymoon. As it was important for us to celebrate this occasion we decided not to look too much for money, so we decided to stay at Minha Louca Paixão.|At arrivals we were given two glass bottles as the property has a sustainable approach and we liked it! |The receptionist that checked us in was a bit unmotivated, not sure is her usual approach or she’s just like that. Anyway, she told us that the water in the mini bar in the room (in cans, specifying they were blue and orange - still and sparkling) were included in the price. Unfortunately at check-out we have been charged for them even though we explained we were told they were free.|We booked one of the basic rooms as they were too expensive. Despite being the “cheapest” option the rate is overpriced or, at least, for what we got. The room was not very comfortable, one socket close to the bed (and when we asked at reception for an extension lead we were told to enjoy our stay. Even if it was a joke, in my opinion must be avoided as it is our business what we do during our holidays. |All the other sockets were occupied for the devices in the room (fridge, television, etc)|The lady that was close to the reception (from the housekeeping team I guess) heard our request and went to check if they had one, no luck. For the money we paid we were expecting them to try to find one.|In the room we found a welcome card (not sure was just specific for us as it wasn’t mentioning anything about our honeymoon and a voucher for 2 free drinks).|The glasses of the windows were dirty. In the balcony there was no hammock (on their website there is written that all the rooms have one). When asked to reception we were told that some rooms might not have it and then told us that somebody would have brought one. No one came. We had to ask again the following morning.|The bathroom smelled as damp. The wire of the hairdryer was completely full of mould. The drain of the sink was very slow and the bathroom got blocked more than once. |The breakfast was great, all the people working in the restaurant/bar were amazing.|We only had an inconvenient with a meal as we asked for a moqueca de camarão and we were charged something else instead. This happened as the online menu was not the same as the one in the restaurant. Luckily this has been sorted at check-out as it was not our mistake. We specifically ordered the mentioned dish and we were not told that was no longer in their menu.|The pools are beautiful, however they must have regular maintenance - they were damaged by the passing time.|Should the price get lower (we spent over 8,000 R$ for one week) it might be worth going back, otherwise, we won’t recommend it .

The receptionists are friendly but only rarely speak english. The rooms are very nice, clean and at least ours had a big bathroom. The balcony was located to the back, so we didn't have the perfect view but it is still nice. The whole hotel area ist very nice too, with house animals running around like rabbits, turtles and ducks. Both pools are big and especially the pool on the upper deck has a great view over the bay. We also highly recommand the cocktails at the bar combined with a clear sky to take a look at the stars.|The breakfast is great too with a great variety of dishes, cakes, eggs, local specialtys and fruits and the view from the breakfast room ist great too.

Best option in Morro if you want to stay close to restaurants/bars. Great swimming pool and bar by the pool. It also has the best restaurant in town - fresh food, super tasty, great breakfast. There are a few issues though, which really bugged me to the point I gave it a 3 stars. But this could easily be a 5 star review 1. We booked two rooms. One of the rooms was a garden room for 2 adults and 2 kids (the other one was an ocean front for 2 adults). When we got to the hotel, the garden room had nothing to do with what the website displayed. The room was dark, small, full of bugs and claustrophobic. We were able to move to another room that was the same type of the oceanfront room we had originally booked. We had to pay the full fare difference but it was worth it. If we had stayed at the bad garden room, the stay would have been miserable. The new room was very loud though. A delivery boat would park in front of it every day at 5am and wake us up. 2. This is not an ultra expensive hotel but it is pricy for the island. I didn’t enjoy some nickel and dime items, such as putting chocolates on our beds during the day and then charging 5 BRL for each one of them for every day. The beach towel control also seemed too much 3. Service could be better, especially at restaurant and pool bar. They were super nice people but it would take forever to get a drink or an order done. I’m talking about 30 minutes for a drink, even when we were the only ones by the pool. Again, probably the best option in town. I would go back here if this means anything. I just want to provide a good feedback to the place so management can make it be a solid 5 star option

Location is good with, an ocean view, facilities, and room service are great. Breakfast is superb, with vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free options. The pool area is clean and good for leisure and swimming. Surrounding, garden, the restaurant is very nice. The place has the idea for itself and you can see consistency with decor and design. Stuff is helpful and cheerful, I think maybe it would be hard for non-Portuguese users to communicate right away. My only concern is that if you stay in the room facing letters at the front (as we did) you will have plenty of Brazilians taking selfies. Also, music around the swimming area is repetitive and mainly covers (dear Brazilians, your music is great, no need to import any!!!). Overall this is one of the best places I stayed in. Highly recommend!

Stayed a couple nights on this small but beautiful island. It was very relaxing and peaceful. The hotel is so beautiful and well kept. We reserved an ocean view room. And boy we were not disappointed at all. The size of the room was great and the view was breathtaking. The rooftop pool and bar was over the top beautiful. And the food was outstanding. They even had a DJ playing music at the pool on Saturday. The staff was amazing very helpful and welcoming.

This place is possibly one of the best accommodation you can get at Morro de São Paulo -BA BRAZIL|Very charming with special attention to details. It may look a bit pricier compared to others at first, but the difference was certainly noticed. |We had some plumbing problems with our room when we arrived, but after trying to fix it with the help of Vivi from the reception, we got a diferente room and everything was beautiful after that. She surely turned the bad situation around and captivated our loyalty. |Our special thanks to Juliana, Vivi and Nai and kudos to the entire team that keep this beautiful place running. We definitely recommend this place!

This has turned out to be our Favorite Resort/Hotel on Morro! We have just made our reservations for the 3rd year in a row & can't wait to get back. The Rooms are all lovely, the staff is very friendly & the food is delicious. And the location is Perfect!!! They have 2 terrific pools, it's a very short walk to either 2nd or 3rd Beach, and it's easy to walk up into "town" to shop or just see the sites. We thought of going somewhere else this, but we both love this place so much, we decided just to come back and spend another wonderful week right here. We just Love this Pousada!!

Great service, beautiful and comfy. Owned and managed by a Portuguese family, Minha Louca Paixão is a great “pousada” in Morro. Gym, pool with ocean view, great restaurant and food. Restaurant managed by a Portuguese Chef. Special tks to Nai, who took care of my family every morning during breakfast and introduced me to a wonderful chocolate tart. Thank you Nai!
