Where to stay in Espelho Beach – Review: Pousada Enseada do Espelho

 

Located facing the sea of Espelho Beach is the Pousada Enseada do Espelho

After having done just one tour beats and returns to Espelho beach a few years ago, this time we decided to come back and stay there, and our choice was the Pousada Enseada do Espelho, a beachfront inn. We were a little undecided if it would be a good idea, since the beach is secluded, but we wanted to ensure a complete experience there, so we decided to risk it.

Praia do Espelho is often on the list of the best beaches in Brazil

Through sand paths and lawfields

Located on the left side of Praia do Espelho/Curuípe beach, Pousada Enseada do Espelho is facing the sea. When we arrived from transfer from Arraial D'ajuda, an employee of the hostel expected us. We stop in front of Pousada Recanto do Espelho, which is of the same owners of Enseada.

The paths are of land, between lawfields and houses of the region. On some stretches, we walk by the sea. I'm glad the hostel clerk took our luggage in a wheelbarrow.

When we arrived at the inn, we were very well receptioned.

At the reception, we were impressed by the whimsy of the décor and the surroundings. All very colourful, regional and harmonized. I've thought to myself, this is going to be a lot of pictures. And he did.

Decoration details and many colors in the lobby of the hostel

Besides the colors, the objects of decoration are fun and make up a super tasty environment

A room full of pampering

The hostel has only 7 rooms, 4 of them are on the ground floor, 2 on the top floor and 1 master bedroom.

The rooms of the hostel, on the ground floor and on the upper floor, all with balcony and hammocks

Our room, on the ground floor, was on a whim. There were so many details and pampering, we didn't know right where to look. At first, we were greeted with a welcome coconut water.

Welcome Coconut Water

The queen size bed was protected by a canopy and on the pillows, flowers, which incidentally we found in various places of the room. The sheets of 800 Egyptian cotton yarn and several pillows would provide great nights of sleep.

In the mute servants, in addition to the lamps, a box of paper tissues, a clock radio and a box organizer of the remotes. In closets, umbrellas and hangers also decorated with delicacy.

In the bathroom was where, with extreme delicacy, we found the floor cloth or the toilet paper adorned with flowers. Aerosol Dedetizer and Aromatizer environments have also been made available. The flowers also prayed for bath towels and face.

In the bathroom there was central heating of water, mirrors, hair dryer, repellent, amenities of Natura, at last, there was nothing we could think was necessary, and that was lacking. The hostel even thought of colourful clothes fasteners, to differentiate the towel from one guest and the other.

In addition to the details, the hotel has all the amenities in perfect operation: Split air-conditioner, ceiling fan, minibar, DVD, HD LED Television with various SKY channels and outlet repellent.

The bathroom also full of pampering and flowers

Natura Amenities and clothes preachers to separate towels from one guest and the other

Painted walls, colourful floors, details on the tiles, quality of furniture, a hammock in the outside area, was all impeccable.

When a hotel thinks of all the details in the décor and the objects in its lodging, the guest feels cherished by that hostel or hotel, and this makes him feel at ease and almost as if he were at his home. That's how I felt in the Mirror Cove.

Although the rooms are not exactly the sophistication, nor have a view of the sea (only the master suite), they have won all my charm thanks to the primor of the décor and the details.

Facing the Sea

The Enseada do Espelho has no swimming pool, but who needs this, when you have a few steps one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil.

With hammocks, cushions on the floor and several wooden chairs scattered over a well-cared lawn and with some coconut trees, the hostel has a hot area to sit, relax and enjoy nature. The area is also used for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Tasty spaces to sit and enjoy the sea

The option of wood furniture seeks to the sustainability of the environment, plastic furniture is avoided in Praia do Espelho.

For those who prefer to be very close to the sea, chairs and tables are very close to the waters, always met with friendliness and efficiency by the staff of the hostel, which provides towels and drinks.

The area is used not only by guests, but as other visitors

The outside area is so hot, even the animals can't get away from it. In addition to dogs and cats, even a cheerful macaw can be found there.

It is not necessary to say that we spend a good time sitting in the outside area, whether for lunch, or simply to relax in front of the sea. The best thing was to sit in those chairs at night, look at the stars and see one of the most beautiful skies of my life. 

If you want to vary, you can also use the exterior area of Recanto do Espelho, hotel of the same owners and is a few meters from the cove. The structure of the Recanto is used by most tourists who come to make a hit and turn, so in the cove you have greater tranquility, but in the Recanto the space is much wider.

For those who want a little more, the Enseada do Espelho still has a staircase that gives access to a gazebo, from where it is possible to have an unmissable view of Praia do Espelho.

Breakfast full of whims

It is not necessary to say that the whimsy in the decoration of the rooms and the hotel found a mirror in the preparation of breakfast. The breakfast is thought out in every detail and made to please, but made with some old-fashioned details.

The coffee and milk are brought warm to the table, in hand-painted porcelain teapoes. Also on the guest's table are arranged the butter, jelly, sugar, besides the beautiful napkins also hand painted.

Some of the delicious breakfast items

Most items are arranged on the counter, in self-service style, such as breads in various species, sweets, fruits or cold meats. Items are brought as requested, such as eggs, salted and tapiocas. Yes, tapioca are made as ordered, salted or sweet, just pick the stuffing. Delight.

I'm in love with tapioca and this was delicious

Finally, in addition to presenting variety, the options of Breakfast are Excel for quality.

In addition to the café, the hostel also offers lunch and dinner options in its restaurant, not included in the rate. Meals in the guesthouse's restaurant cost on average R $50.00 the dish, values per person.

At Espelho Beach you will not find many dining options or nightlife. There is no village, with markets or bars, and the closest is a condominium, the Outeiro das Brisas, where it is possible to find a convenience store (fairly simple).

Reception of Pousada do Espelho

The Espelho beach is so rustic and without structure that the hostel provides lanterns for guests wishing to circulate around the region.

In a day we went to dinner in the corner of the mirror, we circled around in the deepest darkness, only illuminated by the lantern and by the light of other houses. The best is to find the most star-filled sky we've ever seen.

Dusk on the Mirror beach, the starry sky is unique

And in the end...

In this way, we can summarize our experience at Pousada Enseada do Espelho as a lodging full of charms, as on the whim in every detail of the rooms or breakfast, in the delicious spaces to enjoy the beach, with chairs, mats and tables for Eat and relax, and especially in the courtesy and efficiency of the whole team.

In conjunction with the facilities, all the attention of the staff made our passage through the mirror Beach to be extremely delicious and unforgettable.

O pior: a Praia do Espelho não é um lugar com muita infraestrutura, então no local não há opções de restaurantes ou vida noturna, portanto é preciso embarcar no conceito de isolamento e tranquilidade que o local apresenta, o que convenhamos não é lá um ponto muito negativo, para quem deseja relaxar e aproveitar a viagem.
