Really a lovely hotel. Tastefully decorated, amazing breakfast and first class service. We were directed to the best of Paraty, from the boat tour we took to the restuarants and bars. So special this place is and Paraty is a must. We will be back as soon as we can. Thank you to David and Gemina for making it so... More

I love this place. Love it so much, I returned. The owners and staff are friendly and hospitable. The decor throughout create and environment which allows guests the relax and enjoy their stay. I would return again and again.

A true home away from home! David and Jimena were the best hosts, and were very helpful in providing us with restaurant recommendations, transfers, etc. Breakfast was wonderful, served poolside. House is decorated with great taste. Our room was rather basic but comfortable (good bed!) and clean. We had a superior room with a private garden, but never sat in... More

We spent 5 nights at the Pousada Guarana on our recent holiday in Brazil. This was definitely the best place we stayed, and the best value for money. The Pousada itself is beautifully designed with a lovely pool, gardens and communal areas. The owners re-home Paraty's stray cats and dogs so there are always lots of animals wandering around, which... More

We were just sad to pass threw this place (just 2 nights) without having the right time to enjoy enough this place! We weren't sure if it was good at first to be ``out of the central historic spot`` but it did finally-so calm, peaceful, tastefully decorated. It felt like at was at the spa all the time (with the...

We had a fantastic stay at this pousada - the hosts were genuinely focused on ensuring every detail of our stay was perfect and took such effort to make sure everything from the interiors to the breakfasts (amazing!) to making sure we had details on where to eat in town / how to take the tour boat around the islands...

We stayed here for 4 nights ( we extended as it was so nice ), the breakfast was awesome, the pool super clean, the beautiful rooms really large and comfortable and the owners really friendly. David gave us loads of tips and suggestions and they were all great (the next town we stayed we would never have seen if it... More

I have to start off this review doing something I've always meant to do but never did before--thanking my fellow reviewers. Had it not been for the detailed and overwhelmingly positive reviews for the Pousada Guarana I might have been inclined to overlook this mid-range pousada tucked away in a quiet residential part of town. Having just spent 5 nights... More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Pousada Guarana back in September 2012 for two nights and truly wished we could have stayed here longer. The owners, David and Jimena, were very accomodating, friendly and helpful. The time we spent there were kind of slow days for the pousada, but I doubt that would make any difference in the amount...
