The inn corresponds exactly to the photos, presenting an excellent structure and a wonderful location, just over a kilometer from the natural pools, approximately a 20-minute walk. Both the breakfast and the restaurant food are very tasty, and the staff are extremely polite. Despite the fluctuations in power and the noise coming from the generator in the room we were staying in, Manager Lídia promptly resolved the situation, moving us to another room.
However, there are some points that could be improved. I suggest including more beer options on the menu, which is currently limited to two long neck options, Corona and Heinecken. As for the 600 ml craft beers, despite advertising between 6 or 7 options, only 3 were available. Unfortunately, we were unable to accommodate our request for a different brand, which negatively impacted our experience, especially considering the 32 degree heat.
Another extremely important point to be improved refers to bed linen, especially bath towels. Even though they are new and of good quality, they have a pleasant smell.

A fantastic experience! Exactly what we were looking for: a peaceful place to relax and with a cozy infrastructure. The staff were very attentive, from before arrival, at the restaurant, at the beach service, everyone is to be congratulated. The restaurant has very good food, just a little pricey (I believe it is due to the location on the Peninsula). The room we had was also very comfortable. Apart from the paradise that is 2 meters from the inn… what a sea, what a landscape! Oh and as a “courtesy” we had a rock show by Jan with his band which was a show in itself, what a delightful afternoon!!

All the items that I consider essential in a hotel are present in Dreamland. Since the arrival, the cordiality of the staff at the reception already reveals that your days will be great. We stayed in the bungalow more to the bottom (3rd module), and it was all good. In the bedroom all the details are strictly cared for: excellent bath towels, bed linen, pillows (various in the bed), robes, bath products are of excellent quality. Leaving the room, everything remains very beautiful. The sea view, all the decoration, gardening, lighting, bar and restaurant (experience the ceviche and moqueca! Really delicious!) all amazing. The waitress staff is extremely attentive. And one important detail muuuuuuito: you have natural pools on the left of the hotel (my favorite), which are small and on the right of the hotel, the largest and most famous. By car, you go to Barra Grande, to know the various places and tours that are offered (the hotel staff have good indications). Some nights we were presented with musical groups playing on the edge of the pool. Surely this will be a place we will return! You missed!

Beautiful place, but very cramped room, power outage every day, bad breakfast, breakfast room full of flies, expensive dishes in the restaurant, for example an individual shrimp risotto 93.00 with smaller shrimp than supermarket ones. Bad beach service, I couldn't drink cold coconut water in 5 days. They charge for a bucket of ice to preserve drinks on the beach, broken umbrellas, broken room doors that wouldn't lock. They suggested I rent a quad bike because
I couldn't ride a car, I spent 5 days a day on a quad bike and used it one day.
Anyway, I don't recommend it and I won't ever go back.

The testing and facilities were very good, although for a few days the shower heating didn't work. The restaurant's prices, especially drinks, are excessive and take advantage of the lack of nearby competition.
The location, although great, far from the center, other bar and restaurant options, depending on transportation, which is expensive, R$ 90.00 Taxi to the center and another option for quad bike rental R$ 250.00 per day .

Me, my wife and 2 daughters aged 8 and 11 stayed at the inn for 7 days and had a great experience!
The beach at the inn is great, it has good waves for surfing, but children can play calmly in the shallows. There are natural pools very close by and the famous natural pools of Taipu de Fora are approximately 1 km walk along the beach.
We stayed in one of the flats, which is very complete and comfortable. The staff's service is very good and the owner couple was always around the inn serving and worrying about the guests. The breakfast is very good and complete and the inn's restaurant has great dishes, both for a day at the beach and for a nice lunch or dinner.
It has a good beach service and a swimming pool that the children really enjoyed.

The location is very pleasant, in front of a beautiful beach, with shade and coconut trees.
Close to natural pools.
Very good restaurant, small but ok wine list.
The flats are spacious and can accommodate a family of 4 people, showers and air conditioning are also good. Cold environment with no decoration.
The negative part is the hotel and SPA service, the place is not really a hotel, it's like a condominium that has accommodation, everything is paid for separately, the flat, the cleaning, the cafe, the restaurant, a bit boring.
There is no SPA service, there is a massage room and the guest needs to hire the service directly from a professional.

Dreamland bungalows apply one of our values: trust!
They act with humbleness and give you space to relax and enjoy as much as you can, surrounded by nature and positiveness. The staff is willing to help any time and the host Jan and his wife are polite and are close to the daily business.
Room is clean and the food is great.
It is a place that you can go surfing and snorkeling by a foot away, as well as enjoy the sun and a cooooold beer.

Being a guest at dreamland is really a dream! Here we enjoyed a fantastic holiday with everything we only dreamed of: Harmony, peace, nature and relaxation. Time for training and play. Good food and even live music.
The room itself (M1) was lovely, beautiful design and delicately furnished. Everything was very clean. The king size bed was comfortable and very good to sleep in. The sea view from the balcony with beautiful sunrises is breathtaking.
All staff are friendly and service minded, the facility is well maintained and brilliant. I was so fascinated by the variety of plants and flowers and the pleasant design of the outdoor area.
The proximity to an endless sandy beach with lovely waves provides great opportunities for surfing, diving, fitness trips or just relaxing. Never before experienced anything so beautiful. The restaurant at Dreamland serves delicious food at good prices, the breakfast is sumptuous with a large selection of good and varied food that makes the start of the day perfect.
The fitness room is well equipped and a delicious steam sauna provides a good end to the training session. The beach tennis court nearby also gave us many good and fun matches.
The peninsula offers many beautiful places that you can visit if you wish. The village of Barra Grande is charming and colorful.
We would certainly like to come back to Dreamland and we can recommend the place warmly. An insanely delicious place on earth.

Spacious apartments (flats), with excellent structure. Great quality music at the correct volume in common areas (something very difficult to happen these days). Very beautiful landscaping. There is a clear concern about guests being well accommodated. We would certainly return

Ola! As janelas aqui não tem rede de mosquitos, pois não acreditamos que é necessario. Normalmente tem uma ventinho gostoso aqui na beira da praia, que faz que não tem muitos mosquitos.
Bom dia Ilanna!
Nossa pousada fica em Taipu de Fora, Maraú/BA, a praia de Moreré fica na Ilha de Boipeba/BA.
