After the hustle and bustle of Rio & Sao Paulo, the lovely coastal town of Paraty (located approximately halfway between the two cities) is a welcome relief. The history of the town, the beauty of its offshore islands, and the friendliness of its people make this a must-see for any traveler to this region of Brazil. A short walk from... more

Amazing place with amazing staff and the ownwers Neto and Ben are so sweet and friendly. The breakfasts were amazingly delicious. They have done a great job with the decor and it is very chic. On the river in Paraty close to town and beaches with spa amenities should you want them. I will be back here very very soon.... more

My husband and I booked this hotel as part of our trip to Brazil in April after reading all the wonderful reviews. We were very disappointed with our stay and found it hard to believe the hotel people were raving about on trip advisor was the same hotel we were staying in. The first room we were put in smelt... more

My girlfriend and I stayed for 3 nights in April 2008. The pousada was a quarter full with only one other family staying there so we didnt see it at its busiest. The staff were excellent, the breakfast by the river delicious, and the pool a welcome haven after a day out on a boat rip or exploring the town.... more

We thought this place was great and would stay again. I agree that the pousada was on the expensive side for the area, but the rooms and the pool area were simply wonderful. The hot tub was not working, but it was very hot outside and we probably wouldn't have used it anyway. The town is a short walk from... more

Expected a little more when I read all the rave reviews, and the Pousada is indeed a charming place, the management very helpful and the open air breakfast near the river a great experience. However, I have to agree with some of the points tony888 makes in his detailed review: - The place is definitely further from the centre than... more

Bambu Bamboo is quite simply the best place I have ever stayed. My girlfriend (now wife, we got engaged in Brazil during this trip) was very sceptical of all the reviews, so we went and looked at all the local pousadas around Paraty first, of which there are loads. I then convinced her to have a look at Bambu Bamboo,... more

I travel a lot and always rely on tripadvisor reviews but i must admit i did not understood what happened this time. To sum it up : PRO’s : - Nice garden, beautiful view on the canal - Nice lounge room - Good Breakfast The CON’s - Stinky bed !!! the worst ever i experienced on a trip - Problems... more

I have just spent 8 days at Bambu Bamboo and had an absolultey wonderful time. You couldnt ask for nicer, more friendly and genuine hosts that Ben and Neto, nothing is too much trouble and they will go out of their way to ensure your stay is as perfect as the setting. The pousada is set about 15 minutes away... more
