Parents or a legal guardian traveling with children under 18 years must present the child's birth certificate and an identity card with photo (passport, for example) at the check-in. For international travels to Brazil, if just one of the parents is traveling with the child, she/he must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorizing the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. In case the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorization, a judicial authorization is required. People who intend to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate before traveling for more information.

Tem que dar manutenção!
Colchao afundava muito no meio, chuveiro estragado do funcionava frio, portas finas e que balançam a noite toda com vento. Tomadas não funcionam… nak havia mesa de canto, tinha que colocar celular e água do lado da cama no chão… Café da manhã simples mas bem feito e senhoras educadas…

No geral, ok!
Positivo: O café da manhã é bom, as moças muito simpáticas. O atendente do dia muito atencioso. A cama também era boa.
negativos: Tivemos alguns contratempos com a equipe da noite, eis que viajamos com criança, e mesmo após as 22h as pessoas bebiam, cantavam e gritavam no corredor, ao solicitar ao atendente da noite, este não gostou e não fez nada para resolver. O box do banheiro vaza água, molha muito o banheiro. O frigobar deixamos suco do meu filho, danone, frutas e eles desligaram ao fazer o serviço de quarto, ao chegar a noite tudo estava quente e perdido.

Pousada em sí é boa. Funcionários educados e solícitos, café da manhã não tinha tantas opções, mas muito gostoso e bem feito. O que eu nao gostei é que o colchão era partido pra aumentar o tamanho da cama. Com isso meu filho que dormia entre nós sempre ficava no vão o deixando desconfortável.

Excelente custo benefício! O diferencial é a simpatia e cordialidade dos colaboradores. Áreas comuns bem agradáveis, o local está passando por reformas de melhorias. O local tem acesso por uma rua bem íngrime.
Existe uma área de churrasqueira que pode ser usada pelos hóspedes.
Disponibilizam dispenses com shampoo, condicionador e sabonete líquido.
A tarde cafezinho com bolo.
A cama do quarto que fiquei não estava em boas condições, tirando isso tudo perfeito!

Não gostei do café da manhã.
O quarto muito pequeno para três pessoas e o frigobar não fechava direito
