We have spent 10 nights in this wonderful place in the apartment #26. Everything was perfect starting from the garden to the beach where the see in August is super fun because of the waves. The apartment was spacious and clean. Restaurant was good with very reasonable price. Everyone in the Pousada was kind and supportive. Always smiling and helpful. Definitely a place to stay and to avoid Porto de Galinha which is nice but crowded.

This charming hotel has bungalow style chalés in its spacious and well cared for gardens and is on the beach in Maracaipe. It’s the perfect place to relax either on the georgous beach or in a hammock in the hotel. The staff are very friendly and are always willing to help and offer recommendations of things to see and do. Highly recommended.

This is the perfect place for some peace and quiet, away from the busy touristy Porto de Galinhas but just a quick drive away from popular attractions. The pousada is rustic and cute, well cared for. The rooms are very simple but super clean. It's teuly on the beach so you can go for a walk when the tide is low or just sit on a hammock and watch the waves. We can't say enough about the staff, every single one greets you with a smile and ate always ready to help. We had our two kids with us, ages 12 and 10. To accommodate the four of us we had the Casa Haras, a small house with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. The kids loved the pool, it's not huge but works well with the number of guests. The food at the restaurant is pretty good so eating there is always an option. We had a guy called Vadinho pick us up at the airport, take us to town when we wanted to eat out or go visit the natural pools on a jangada. He also has a buggy so we went to Cupe and Morro Alto with him. The Xalés de Maracaípe work with him. We recommend!

Located on the edge of the beach of Maracaipe, 3 km from the centre of Porto de Galinhas, this hostel is an invitation to quietness by the sea, with lots of green space and coconut trees by the sea.It is a hostel for people who love nature.

I just returned from this stunning resort and have little to add to all the positve reviews that you find here other than to say that although some might be from years back by now the experience we had last week (aug 2017) is still exactly the same as some people had years back. Also the sea water is clean and very (bot not too) warm. I have uploaded some pictures from last week and will let them speak for themself. Greetings from rainy London.

Rooms: simple but comfortable. Some are newer with better floor and bathroom. Tranquility: great. just the waves and wind. Good proposal for rest. Restaurant: very good. tasty regional food and vegetarian options. Staff: polite and attentive. Overall: fair value for money with almost a private beach in front of it. Hope to come back!

Porto de galinhas is paradise on Earth. Beautiful beaches, natural pools. Xales de Maracaipe is a very good pousada, located some how away from downtown. If you are looking for a peaceful, quiet and resting place this is it! It's a very large place with gardens, beach front, a medium swimming pool. Huts are comfortable with a full bed, good air conditioning (very quiet), a good bathroom. We stayed in a sea-view hut with window and a small entrance with chairs, very charm. Although the pousada is not a luxury hotel, it's very nice and you may walk around without being noticed or bothered. They offer a very good breakfast with local food (just order the waiters). The pousada is very very close to Maracaipe Pontal (5 min walk!) where you will see a breathtaking sunset!!! It is also close to the river where you may take a jangada and navigate through the mangue and see sea horse, crab and natural scenery. Maracaipe's sea is quite strong , it's a surf long place, but it's very good for walking....
