Detailed Reviews
I stayed this Pousada six nights in October 2014, house keeping staff impressed me with their professional cleanliness and extra care towards your personal belongings. I have had to leave a good tip for the girls looking after my ground floor room No: 1 being the room I occupied throughout my stay.
Breakfast girls were extraordinary by making that extra mile in making fried eggs for me exactly to my liking for all six days. Reception team and their owner manager Alex always on top of all situations.

Really happy with this place. For the price compared to everything else close by you can't beat it. Convenient location to the beach. Very comfortable bed. Super helpful English speaking staff/owner. And no complaints with breakfast at all.

After a 15 minute walk from the main entrance uphill and a short walk from the seafront my party arrived at Borboleta.
The front desk staff was lovely & helpful.
Our room was simple with a varanda, hammock and a good a/c.
The bathroom is looking tired but it is clean.
The pousada is located opposite a depot but it is nice and quite. It is a short walking distance to beach 1 and beach 2 and 3.
Free wifi is included on the price.
Breakfast was good. Nice fresh fruits, good coffee and lovely fresh homemade cake.

we had an interesting time. Patricia went out of her way to make my husband feel welcome. She didn’t care that he was on a trip with his family and instead took every opportunity to be alone with him.

Dear Alexandra, unfortunatly we do not remember about your stay at Pousada Borboleta, so we don´t really know what you mean about a recepcionist trying to be alone with your husband, by the fact that she can not leave her working place. Would be interesting to hear your husband´s version. Patricia is continuosly being praised and highly valued by all our costumers.

We spent 5 nights here in January. The Pousada is perfectly situated on Third Beach about a minute off of the Island's main boardwalk - set farther back from the boardwalk makes it much quieter.
The hotel is very clean, the breakfasts boast a large variety and the staff are very helpful and respond to questions immediately. There is a lovely lounge on the top floor with hammocks to relax in and I believe all rooms with a patio or balcony, also offer a hammock. The Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty but the lounge upstairs has great reception.
We experienced a medical issue during our stay and thanks to the quick thinking of Koqueline (sp?) at the front desk, who called the owner, Alex, everything was taken care of. Alex immediately jumped in and arranged all of the help and transport we needed to the medical centre - he totally went above and beyond!
Kail at the front desk speaks English and was also very helpful.
We would definitely stay here again.

we spent 2 nights at the pousada before New Year. the pousada is in one of the many side streets off the main beach "road" close to all main attractions. when booking we were scared that it may be far from everything but it very close to all the beaches and restaurants.
the room was upstairs with a balcony and hammock which is nice to laze in. the room itself was very clean with ac and curtains that block the light. the bathroom is small but clean and serves all needs. the breakfast was the usual Brazilian type with cake, cold meats and cheeses and breads.

Rooms are good with enough space and very clean. The hotel is can be reached through a small alley from the 3rd beach (allthough this is not really a beach...). The windows cannot be closed properly so if you are on the ground floor put your valuables in the safe.

Thanks for your coments. Only want to say that i use to go swiming here, at the 3rd beach, just few hundreds meters from the pousada. May not be the best beach, but for shure it´s one. If you coudn´t close the window, we have staff to repair anything that doesn´t work. Any way Morro it´s a very safe place and never happend that thieves come into the garden. Hope we can see you in the future.

Pousada Borboleta is a safe, well located, well appointed and comfortable pousada.
We were met by Alex, who was warm, genuine and of every assistance during our stay.
I am a light sleeper, but slept very well in the quiet and air conditioned room. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was to north american standard in water flow and tempurature range. sheets and towels were clean and of good quality.
The breakfast in the morning (8:00 - 10:00) was well supplied with fruits, juices, cakes, coffee (with hot milk) tea, cereals, yogurt and clean protein...
The posada is located less than a 30 second walk off the more quiet third beach, also about a ten minute walk to the centre of the village.
Alex was very helpful in things such as printing transfer vouchers and very giving of information, during our stay.

They offer big and cleany rooms with comfortable beds. The staff is very freindly and helpful and will give you indications about what to do in Morro.
The biggest highlight is the breakfast. They offer variaty of things that other pousadas do not have and also serve delicious fresh juices. This was definetely the best breakfast I have had in Brasil

De um modo geral, não há serviço de transfer gratuito oferecido pelas Pousadas. Sugiro fazer pesquisa nos receptivos que ficam na ilha. Basicamente todos oferecem com o mesmo valor, mas pode-se sempre tentar um desconto. Uma observação quanto essa Pousada Borboleta : o cheiro de mofo é bem incômodo. Tem outras pousadas com valores semelhantes que não tem esse problema.
Olá, bom dia, a pousada não tem parcerias desse tipo, porém há hotéis na ilha que fazem o Day Use e têm piscina.
Na POUSADA BORBOLETA temos um gatinho, de nome GRINGO, que resolveu ficar conosco. Ele fica na recepção e no jardim e não entra nos quartos nem gosta de ficar por perto dos hospedes. Sendo que estamos ao lado da MATA ATLÂNTICA, as vezes somos visitados por outros bichinhos, como rãs, beija-flores, passarinhos, patachocas, etc.
Olá, bom dia, não temos transfer próprio, mas ajudamos na compra do semi-terrestre, emitindo o voucher mediante comprovante de pagamento e/ou catamarã, encaminhado você aos responsáveis.
