“Fond memories, great times, would go back!”

Ari, the owner is the star of the show, extremely helpful, kind and friendly! Expect a warm welcome! The hotel is exactly as advertised, it’s right in front of the lagoon and close to great restaurants! The breakfast is great and the room / facilities are basic but the room is spacious and cleaned everyday, all you need! The hammock on the terrace is a real plus

“Perfect and clean low budget option, with an extremely friendly and helpful host.”

Friendly, clean and on a great location.

Very well located accommodation in Ilha Do Guajiru. Ari, the host, is very friendly and hospitable.

“Lovely stay in Ilha”

Location is top notch, to be honest I like it better than all the others more upwind. It has a compressor and area to set up your kite as well as storage and place to clean your gear. So absolutely kite friendly

“Really adorable place. Simple, with everything you need and in the perfect location (close to action but quiet)”

The owner is an absolute gem. He is one of the kindest people out there, always ready to help and support in any way possible.

“Delightful, close to the water and an amazing attentive host who engages with everyone and helps them get the most from”

Very cosy, the owner was so accommodating and helpful made the stay fantastic, great location easy to get out kiting within walking distance to the beach. Great spot just a few minutes from a good selection of restaurants. Would definitely go back. it’s not super luxurious but it is well organised for kite surfers with lots of space to store and dry equipment and a great breakfast and a sufficiently small number of rooms that people chat at breakfast and make it feel like a community.

“Great relaxed vibe and wonderful host!”

We loved our stay at Ari’s place!! It has a great chill vibe, perfect location in front of the beach, comfortable rooms and great breakfast. Ari is the best and takes such a good care of all the guests! He will always make sure that you have what you need. We’ll come back for sure and recommend it to everyone visiting Ilha!

Great location, very friendly and helpful host

“Meeting and talking to Ari, the owner of this Pousada will make your stay here unforgettable!”

Great location, room, comfortable beds and nice staff. Perfect place to stay for kite surfing. Ari will make sure you feel very welcome and take very well care of you.

“We loved our stay.”

We loved our stay. We highly recommend this establishment

“Lovely kite pousada”

Great kite pousada with ideal location, compressor, a beach boy who helps you set up!! The owner Ari & staff are super welcoming, warm, and friendly. The breakfast is great and the rooms are cleaned daily and equipped with AC.

Amazing place for kitesurfers and alike. The owner works hard all day long to make your stay enjoyable .. highly recommended.

Amazing staff and location. The owner works hard to provide best in class service for kitesurfers and others . Highly recommended.

“Amazing pousada”

Ari, the owner, made my stay feel both comfortable and homey. The room was exactly as advertised, with an exceptionally comfortable bed. Breakfasts were delicious—especially the homemade cakes. There was even a dedicated space for kite gear, which was very convenient. Ari’s staff were professional, attentive, and excellent throughout my stay. What really stood out was Ari himself. He’s a wonderful host, and I enjoyed many great conversations with him. He offered spot-on recommendations, from the best restaurants to local kiting conditions, and even organized downwinders. I would wholeheartedly recommend Ari’s Pousada to anyone looking for a welcoming and memorable stay.

“A perfect stay in Ilha do Guajiru”

Ari is the owner of the Pousada and he is the nicest man we have ever met. He is very helpful and from the first moment we met we liked him. We immediately felt like home. His English is very good. The breakfast is amazing, especially the homemade cakes. The room offers everything you need and the location is perfect for going kitesurfing at the lagoon. The sunset is very authentic and beautiful. We really appreciate Ari and will come again. When you once meet Ari, you will never forget him. The deep talks with him and his way of life is very special and there should be more people like him.

“Incredible Pousada, Incredible Owner”

Ari, the owner, is one of the most genuine people I have ever met. He was never imposing, but had a way of doing everything possible to make our trip incredible. The location is great, the rooms are awesome (places for kite gear etc). We felt welcome and important our entire stay. one of the best places I have ever stayed.

“The place to stay if you dont want to be in main beach and want a nice and relaxing experience”

Host was so helpfull, breakfast amazing, location very close to the kite beach.

Very pleasant host who really takes care of his guests. Managed to injure my foot and the host joined the hospital as an interpreter. The host kites and has provided facilities for his guests with an electric pump and his own lookout post over the lagoon. super breakfast with a lot of focus on good fruit. The room has opportunities to hang clothes etc. some that you don't see very often.

“A fantastic stay with a world class host!”

Arri was an incredible host, very helpful, hospitable and kind. The rooms were comfortable, clean and the air conditioner was appreciated.

Stayed one night with Arer and he and the facilities were excellent. It had the laid back feeling like Byron Bay in Australia. Just sorry we didn't stay longer.. If you are looking for a place just to relax and surf then this is the place.
