Pousada Rancho do Buna

The eco pousada is amazing! the staff very friendly and helpful! Thanks to them we have organised some excursions and were just perfect! It seems to be in a farm, with lovely animals around, cats, dogs peacocks, parrots. It is very relaxing and the cleanliness is excellent.||We had dinner in their restaurant (amazing setting) and it was there were we had the best food we tasted in Brazil. ||It is located by the river were you may swim, although they have a swimming pool. ||The atmosphere is amazing!

We arrived to Atins from Barreirinhas with the boat tour. We got a ride to the pousada and liked the place right away! Our cabin was nice but we did have some problems with the toilet flush and eventually got a new cabin which was better. ||||Beautiful rancho, lots of animals, nice relaxd feeling with hammocks and good caipirinhas ;).||||We visited the dunes and lagoons and it was just wonderful! You can get a whole lagoon just for yourself! ||||The breakfast was very good so was the service. I was so happy that finally someone spoke english and i didn't need to manage with my poor portuguese :). We also had lunch and dinner there couple of times and really enjoyed. The beach was really perfect and empty and just a short walk away.||||The pool area was also nice but we really didn't use it as the lagoons and the beach were much more what we were looking for.

Buna is the name of the owner which has build along the years this amazing place. The garden, the wood sculptures made by Buna from local trees, the animals that walk around, like peacocks, dogs, cats, duck, lizards etc all form a very harmonious environment that is hard to leave, when it comes that day of the departure !!||The rooms are simple and rustic, but all have air conditioning. The ranch has no wifi, but believe me, we can survive without it !!||Breakfast is great with fruit, juices coming for their own vegetable garden. Jams and cakes are made at the ranch as well. The restaurant is also really good and sometimes is Buna that cooks for the guests. If you are lucky to be there when Buna is around he will entertain you with all the stories of his life in Atins which are really enchanting because when he first came to this place it was almost as an undiscovered paradise and he built this ranch along the years going through lots of adventures!!||Special mention goes to his stuff that is very, very friendly.||To summarize: if you go to Atins, Rancho do Buna is the right place to stay.

A nice and quiet place, it has a small pool to cool off after a day under the sun. There is no wifi and your cell reception will be spotty if any - but that is part of the Atins' magic. The chalets are simple but clean - there is no hot water and not all chalets have A/C. The tours offered at the Rancho are not that flexible or have that many options - you might want to enquire around and see if other options suit you better. ||Overall a nice place to relax and be quiet. You will enjoy your stay.

We were expecting to be welcome on the edge of the beach to be taken to the Cottage but no one was there, we tried to phone announcing our arrival but their telephone did not work, our boatmen had to walk to the cottage to say that we were waiting under the hot sun, thanks to another Pousada who offered fresh jouces and some shade to rest. We were supposed to spend the whole day and one night to continue heading through the Coast in our way to Ceará...the tours were great to see the dunes and we did everything on our own because we did not get any assistance from the stuff, the manager were not kind at all and treat us in a very rude way, it seemed that we were doing a favor to be there, the rooms not well ventilated. The only think we liked was the swimming pool. Big disappointment in all ways. We will never use their services and pick up any other Pousada, but never Rancho do Buna; it is a pety because their space is amazing.

This place has already seen better days. We were a group of friends and spent 5 days there last week (January 2021). Bedrooms are unclean, and cockroaches and other insects are often seen. Over the bed there is a dirty veil, with dead insects laying on it. One of us got a room for 3 people and the box bed was without mattress. Overnight, bathroom water supply is turned off, which was a nightmare for one of us who felt sick. Twice the owner offered us an earlier breakfast at 6 a.m., which never happened. Breakfast table and dirty dishes were left on the living area until 3 p.m. once. Unfortunately, one of us had some money and a bra stolen.

The building and furniture are beautiful woodwork and gives the place its charm.||Attins does not have a lot of options to choose from. This is maybe the reason it was expensive.||Located 10mn away from the center (walking in the sand in a very hot and humid environment).||The rooms were big but they never came to make the beds or change the towels.||The staff was helpful to organize 1-day trips in the dunes but don't really speak English. There was a breakfast buffet, which was OK but not exceptional.

The people there are absolutely friendly. The ranch is amazing with the birds, which wake you up in the morning. Great breakfast too. It's fantastic and less touristic if you visit the Lagoons from here instead of Barreinhas.||||Please keep in mind that you can't pay by credit card.
