My stay at Pousada Guarana was amazing. The place is beautifully decorated and is not far from the historical district. The staff were so polite and attentive! The staff at Pousada Guarana made sure that all my needs were met and they were extremely helpful in giving me information on the area, about the cuisine, about outdoor activities, etc. If... more

David and Jimena are the ultimate hosts... this comfortable, exceptionally clean and welcoming pousada made our stay in Brazil! Parati was lovely, and David and Jimena had all the local insight and were happy to share their knowledge and love for the area. It was definitely home away from home with amazing breakfasts by the pool (specializing in vegetarian delights),... more

Really super place to stay. David and his wife really look after you. The breakfast is fantastic. And it´s a lovely place to chill out and unwind. It´s just a bit far out of the historic centre of Paraty (about 1km) but you can take bikes for free from the hostel to get you in and out. more

Very tranquil property located just outside the center of Paraty. The owners Jimena and Dave are very warm and friendly. The excellent reviews are accurate and we found nothing less in the three nights we stayed. An unexpected benefit of the location was riding the complimentary bikes into the city center. Negotiating the night traffic was a great, fun means... more

We absolutely loved Pousada Guarana. We were 9 friends traveling in Brazil and found this perfect gem for our final days together in Paraty. We loved it so much that a few of us stayed more days than planned! The place has such a tranquil mellow vibe decorated beautifully with art and other worldly details, a little oasis. There is... more

Pousada Guarana is a one-of-a-kind gem located just outside of Old Town Paraty. The rooms are spacious and comfortable (even though you'll hardly find yourself inside them!) and the decor is fresh and appropriate, with the right combination of design, color, art and functionality. The breakfast is always on-time and delicious, and includes fresh fruits, breads, eggs, coffee, tea and... more

The only complaint we have is that the room could have used a chair! There was no place to sit but the bed. The food was really good at breakfast; lots of tropical fruit. The pool is wonderful, and really helped my wife's back, after the long drive from Rio. more

My husband and I recently spent 2 nights at the Pousada Guarana, and agreed we could have (and should have!) easily stayed for more. It is a lovely group of buildings, artfully decorated, with an inviting staff and comfortable rooms. It was totally unique and beautiful - the lush flowers and trees and artistic touches everywhere just screamed: "Relax! You... more

I cannot speak highly enough of this place and the people who work there, It is awesome. The staff are so friendly and extremely helpful. Its very reasonably priced, absolutely immaculate, beautifully decorated, the breakfasts are out of this world. I will be returning without a doubt and have already recommended this place to everyone I have met in Brazil.... more
