Barreirinhas hotels

Pros: only the lake swimming pool and lake view.

Cons: Nobody speaks English at the reception and y the restaurant. So, this us very complicated to be understood, even to organise activities and as for a towel. For a resort, it is unacceptable ! Do you really want to welcome foreigners at your hotel ? In addition, no free drinkable water available in the rooms not even 2 bottles of water for 150th night! To finish at the restaurant, fish products are overcooked and inedible! Pay attention to cooking.

Pros: the setting is really beautiful and the property is very well kept. the room itself is cozy and perfect for a couple. the bathrooms were very nice and that was a big plus! the restaurant on the property is excellent! and lastly, the staff is super helpful and very accommodating. you can book private/group tours to lencois directly on site with the staff.

Cons: wi-fi is very spotty in the public areas and doesn't work in the rooms at all. this is shame if you want to stream at night after dinner or something.

Pros: The resort was nice. Not a typical 5 star resort, but certainly the nicest in the area. The breakfast was great with a large selection of fruit and hot items. We had a quadruple room for our family of four which was very spacious with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Ac worked well.

Cons: The resort is on the river which means there are a lot of mosquitoes, even in the dry season. We were there in August and our room was filled with them upon arrival. The cleaning staff leaves the door open when the clean. We killed all the mosquitoes in our room upon arrival and asked not to have our room cleaned during our stay. This was effective for keeping the pests out.

Pros: The food at the restaurant was great! The experience of working with ceramic was also enjoyed by the children.

Cons: ...that you have to communicate in Portuguese, otherwise nobody will understand you. ( 5 stars - Resort)

Pros: For the price (80us$) the double is just fine. The swimming pool was nice.

Cons: The rooms are a little like a construction camp. The have little effort. Are big because the have plenty of space. Internet only in the hall. Breakfast was not according to the level. Short variety and only with quality was the fruit. Particularly bad the juices.

Pros: Best Resort in the area, with two pools plus the river Pregiusas, to swim in. Food good, not expensive and portions were ENORMOUS. Room very clean, a little spartan for European tastes, but hey we're in Brazil. Also hotel had very efficient tour desk, to organise activities and trips to the sand dunes and Lencois National Park. Would stay there again of in the area

Cons: Poor wifi. Only works in lobby and pool area. A resort of this standard should really have it in the rooms, which is a problem if you are foreign, and need wifi to get internet.

Pros: Awesome pools, well-maintained and with just the right temperatures. Great staff and attention. Clean rooms, quite large, with a great shower and clean-looking water. Good (if expensive) restaurant. Good (if basic) breakfast. Calm, mostly-foreign guests; no noise at night (at least in our room). They have a workshop where guests can learn to make small argyle pots/cups (and take them home). Air conditioning worked well.

Cons: Mosquitoes get into the room somehow, even though all windows are protected by screens (still, probably fewer mosquitoes than any other riverside spot in Barreirinhas). River deck was not as well maintained/staffed as other parts of the hotel. Restaurant is noticeably more expensive than others in town (though it's also better). Location is not central (cabs to the center of the town are BRL 20 per trip, BRL 40 round-trip). Forgot a cap near the pools and it didn't turn up, so must have gotten swiped by either guests or staff (which were awesome otherwise, but didn't seem to really try to locate that cap).

Pros: Facilities for family travelling with kids. The restaurant of the hotel, considering there is nowhere to have lunch or dinner in Barreirinhas, makes a difference in the stay.

Pros: Relaxed, chill environment.

Cons: No hot water and poor water pressure.

Pros: Very unique stay with friendly staff in a farm-like environment. Very social place and super helpful for booking activities in the area

Cons: A bit of a walk into town

Pros: Beautiful location and helpful staff

Cons: The five-bed dorm is really too small, it should be a double room.

Pros: The trip to lencois with Marcelo and the super nice atmosphere !

Pros: It’s hard to point out only a few things. Everything about this place is great. Plenty of hammocks and beautiful places to relax, the staff was incredible, the food at their bar delicious, and the rooms clean and comfortable.

Pros: Lots of space, far from the noise, beautiful nature.

Pros: The hostel felt so comfortable and relaxing that we loved it immediately. There is loads of space to chill and the staff are really laid back so you feel really comfortable there. The hostel also offered lots of fairly priced tours, we looked around in the town for comparison and the ones offered at the hostel were by far the best. We highly recommend staying here!

Cons: Only minor things that aren’t really an issue but the showers were very weak, the bed was a little wobbly and there was nothing at breakfast to put on toast (e.g. jam, ham, cheese). The hostel is a little way out of town but the town felt safe enough to walk to and from the hostel. The quality of the hostel definitely makes up for the distance from the town centre.

Pros: Very close to nature, not much of a hotel feeling, more like a family home. Amazing experience!

Cons: No mirrors in the bathroom.

Pros: The gardens and the arty vibe. The hammocks and cleanliness and breakfast. The breakfast was primo and great location - feels a world away from town but is only 2 blocks from the excitement. Loved it here so much

Cons: The staff was so friendly. Sadly the main lady gave us some misinformation about Santo amaro and getting there which created a few obstacles but her organisation of the tours were great, as was her english and general friendliness

Pros: Nice place for relax. Very kind staff.

Cons: It was cold shower. A little bit far from town.

Pros: The staff is very helpful and friendly, good wifi and clean.

Cons: Not much close from the central area, but it's nice and quiet area.

Pros: The common use territory is very spacious and very well maintained. Good breakfast, dinner can be ordered from the restaurant (delivery is 7-9Rs) or tapioca, juice can be prepared any time. Very helpful staff. We asked for transfer and tours information before arrival and got full assistance with all the arrangements. Room decoration is basic, however it’s sparkling clean; there was fridge, TV and a/c in our room. Definitely recommend

Pros: We had a great experience at São Jose. The staff is very attentive, breakfast is delicious and the room, although small, has everything one needs for their stay. In a place like Lençois Maranhenses, you should be out enjoying the rides, parks and lakes. The city is small and doesn't offer much. São Jose is no different, but truly welcoming and comforting after a day's activities.

Pros: The very friendly receptionist helped us with the transport to Atins and even drove us to the pickup point. There is a nice common area with a small garden. The breakfast was delicious - one of our best in Brasil. The rooms were very clean.

Cons: There was a ridiculous sign in the bathroom saying that if you wash your clothes there, you will be fined by the amount of your rooms rate (only in portuguese). In the room you can hear everything from the corridor.

Pros: The property is new or renovated. The bedroom was clean and is has a comfortable king bed, aircon, mini fridge and all the basics you wish for. It’s only 10 minutes walk from the centre. The staff are very friendly and helpful too. We definitely recommend them!

Cons: Breakfast is okay but it could be improved, as well as finish at 10am for the guests who want to rest.

Pros: Good location, very good breakfast, the room was clean

Pros: Great breakfastt with lots of homemade jams and cake, well decorated with lots of paintings, locals handicrafts, clean and comfort, helpful staff. Obrigada

Pros: Great staff. Simple facilities, but the staff is spetacular, they are the reason for our satisfaction with the venue.

Cons: The shower had little water. The only negative aspect.

Pros: The place is quite nice if you visit the breakfast and garden area. Location is also good not far from the river side

Cons: The hotel has a small reception and our room had only one window to the hotel corridor/garage... we couldn’t really open the window of the room and in the morning it was quite noisy when a group of 40 ppl arrived at 6am and had nowhere else to stay but in the corridor in front of my room...

Pros: Breakfast is good. Staff very helpful. AC is very useful. We booked our tours in town to Lencois and they pick you up from the hotel. They also pick you up for airport shuttle in Sao Luis for from the hostel at a fair price. Get in touch beforehand for this.

Cons: Good place. Bathroom water pressure a bit slow and sink a bit small. Otherwise not much else. Location about 10 mins into town but very safe even late at night

Pros: Staff is awesome, they are always there to help you out with anything.

Cons: Air conditioner and minibar (can be disabled) are kind loud, therefore if you are bothered with sounds, I will not advise this one.

Pros: The pool was nice for the kids. We loved being surrounded by Brazilians only. The are really nice and easygoing fellow hotel guests.

Cons: The walls are super thin. We had a bit of a youth camp feeling, which some may find charming and others may hate.

Pros: The room was clean, the bed was good, there was shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom. I forgot my smartwatch there and was able to retrieve it a few days later.

Cons: The door to the varanda didn’t lock and I was in the first ground. Breakfast ending at 10am in a resort like place, I think it should end later.

Cons: WiFi not working, poor housekeeping, overpriced everything, and far from the center of town. The facility itself is beautiful but not worth the money. Do yourself a favor and stay at one of the many cheap pousadas in town and use the savings for extras tours, food, shopping. This is what we plan to do on our next trip to Barreirnhas.

Pros: I needed to stay 1 night after a multi-day trek in the dunes. The place is clean with basic amenities.

Cons: Pricey for the quality and the area. The large hotel is based around a large pool area and kids areas. No foreign travelers there - very much a Brazilian « resort » destination. Walls are quite thin and heard the neighbors / those in the hallway.

Pros: The pool with the swim up bar was nice after a whole day of tours. The rooms were big and spacious. Our bed was comfortable. Nice pier restaurant on the river with nice pizzas. Great views. Lots of options for breakfast.

Cons: This was definitely not a 4 star hotel. The rooms are very old and unclean. The sofa was very stained and we didn’t sit on it! The shower still had hairs on the walls when we arrived from previous guests. The pool was nice but the floats and sun beds had mould on (some of them) and could really use an update. The hotel could use a complete renovation! The WiFi was very slow/not working most of the time. Better signal outside of the hotel and in the sand dunes than at the hotel! The staff were rude and unhelpful most of the time. Check in was not friendly. The tour centre (one of the reasons we booked it) was useless. He sat on his phone while we waited to be served. Then refused to serve us because he didn’t speak English. We speak some Portuguese but he refused anyway so in the end we used a tour company from outside the hotel. When asked if we could pay for pool snacks at check out, staff said it was fine but then this was followed by hassling of reception staff both at 11:30pm at night and 7:30am in the morning!

Pros: Location on riverside

Cons: Unfriendly. basic rooms and bathrooms. Poor service mostly.

Pros: a lot of things to do, nice hotel

Cons: kind of in the middle of nowhere lol

Pros: It was beautiful.

Cons: Had a problem with the excursions.

Pros: A nice location at the river and extensive garden area. Nice atmosphere, very quiet and private.

Cons: Really far walk to the restaurant. Old pool. Breakfast offers minimal variety and wouldn't be sufficient if you stay a whole week there. It is also far away from the center of Barreirinhas.

Pros: The location and the entire setting is excellent. Beautiful garden and the bar/restaurant at the river is great. Breakfast buffet very good. Staff very friendly and helpful

Cons: The rooms are tiny. Not much space for two people. Air conditioning wasn't working very well....

Pros: Its cheap and clean

Cons: Awful beds

Pros: Basic but very clean and nice hotel in a beautiful garden. Value for the money was perfect. parking direct at the hotel easy and safe. extrem helpful and friendly staff. They do not speak English but with google translate it was perfect to communicate with them.

Pros: The garden is very beautiful with a lot of flowers. It was great to spend some time on the terrace after a long day in the desert. The rooms are quite big and relatively clean. The Pousada is located 15 minutes walk from the main street with all the restaurants. We had amazing activities organised by the staff.

Cons: The bathroom is very small compared to the size of the room. Breakfast could have been of better quality. The price of the activities can vary from one person to an other. Do not stress to be on time you will always leave late...

Pros: The Area und also the cottages were beautiful! Just like a dream. Also the service staff have been really kind. Especially the owner of this Pousada was a great help. He organised the trips and provided all information we needed about the shuttle back to sao luis und what to do in Barreirinhas. Because of the language problem (we don't speak Portuguese) he was our saviour (we had the conversations in English). The best Hotel so far!!!!

Pros: The breakfast was incredible with fresh fruit, bolo, tapioca, ovos (eggs) cafe and sucos. The staff were really helpful and arranged all our trips and our transfer on to Jericoacora. The rooms were spacious with a hammock out front and a lovely garden.

Cons: The location was a bit far to walk to the main part of town but it's easy and cheap to get a taxi and the staff will call for you. The rooms are quite dark.

Pros: room and breakfast

Cons: location

Pros: Amazing value for money - it's well located, staff is incredibly helpful, and very clean. I'd recommend it to everyone

Pros: The staff is incredibly gently and very helpful even if they do not speak English. The Pousada is very clean and the rooms are surrounded by a beautiful and well kept garden. The breakfast is delicious with home baked cakes! We booked 2 tours with them and they were well organized (don’t miss the day trip to Atins!)

Pros: this pousada is very charming. Staff is very efficient and the room is very clean. the breakfast had many things and they are delicious. Everything was fine.

Pros: River view is amazing. Rooms are basic and clean w hammock. Good layout. Close to centre.

Cons: Lot of construction still happening. Pool looked a bit dirty / cloudy.

Pros: We found everything as we expected, or even better! Besides the breakfast, the hotel served lunch and dinner as optionals, which was very convenient. The staff was very helpful and polite.

Cons: The wi-fi almost never worked.

Pros: Breakfast was okay, the pousada was simple and everything you really actually need in Barrerinhas, especially when you are not likely to spend much time in the room anyways. The aircon in the room was great and the hammocks for each room are a nice touch.

Cons: The bathroom was not very clean, just a lot of humidity and moisture leading to mould. The bed sheet did not fit the bed so my husband and I had to keep on adjusting the sheet so we didn't have to touch the old gross mattress. The double bed was two single beds put together so we couldn't snuggle at night as it was too uncomfortable.

Pros: They help you to organise the transfers and the excursions. Good breakfast, good context and outdoor.

Cons: The room was not cosy even if it was clean.

Cons: Staff doesn’t speak English, but available and helpful

Cons: Room was not clean and very noisy, staff was not helpful.

Pros: The staff was very nice and helpful.

Pros: We really enjoyed the nice hotel staff, delicious breakfast, and swinging in the hammock on the balcony. Its great located, just a few footsteps away from the city center. Rooms are basic, but clean.

Pros: Excelent location and value for money

Cons: -

Pros: Spacious room, balcony, friendly staff, good breakfast and good shower and airconditioning. Easy walk to restaurants area but deserted road to the entrance.

Pros: It's an older hotel, so amenities just feel older overall. You have to be okay with that. But for the price, compared to nearby hotels, made it worth it. And while it may be on the older side, it still felt clean. The location was perfect. Tours will pick you up outside of the hotel. Breakfast was simple but great and convenient. The outside garden area by the river is beautiful and very peaceful in the mornings. Relaxing and pleasant stay!

Cons: Some things need to be updated. Sometimes I would catch an unpleasant smell.

Pros: We arrived late and they accommodated us.

Cons: Didn't feel clean. Fan didn't work. Mosquitos in the room. Not much help with getting to our next destination.

Pros: Very clean place. Very good welcoming. Excellent breakfasts

Pros: The host went out of his way to accommodate us and help us with our trip and our needs. Breakfast was generous and good.

Pros: it’s relatively far from the center, in a residential (not happening, no restaurants/markets) area. this can be positive or not. bathroom was constantly wet. i didn’t like the owner’s attitude towards tours. later, seeing how he handled them with fellow guests at the house, i was happy i got mine from elsewhere (besides, it was cheaper).

Cons: there’s a small private beach on the back of the house. you’re staying at local people’s house and it has a very cosy feeling (can use the kitchen). breakfast is great (bread, spread, cream cheese, papaya, fresh fruit juice, cake, milk, ovaltine or powdered chocolate, coffee...). rooms are bright and airy, ceiling fan is enough unless you’re in the lower bunk bed.

Pros: The host very thoughtful in your needs. She helps me carry my bags and get a ride to the center, as well she can help with tours and getting around the city. The breakfast was good: juice, fruit, bread, butter, cheese and ham next to a coffee. Recommended

Cons: Distance is bit far- 20 min walking to the center.

Pros: Super friendly and helpful owners (the comunication in English worked well with google translator) :) They also booked a tour for us. We loved the hammocks in front of our room. The garden was nice and the kitchen had everythink you need. WiFi is for free. The room was very nice and clean. We had a nice bathroom and a mosquito net. The place has its very own charme and we really enjoyed our stay here. It's a short walk from 10 minutes to the main beach (be careful with the hot sand around 1 p.m.) The sleep was very good, because it was very silent and the matress was comfi. In addition to that, the owner cleaned our room every day.

Pros: Convenient pousada to discover the Lençóis. Confortable bed, modern air conditioning and clean room. The pousada organized the transfer to Jericoacoara at a very good price.

Cons: No window in the room. Service not always very professional. Not a lot of water in the shower.

Pros: The location is in the centre, very safe. House keeping came every day and the food/breakfast was always fresh. Hot water and good power shower!

Cons: Some variety with the breakfast foods

I asked twice days for one towel more and they didn’t give me.. if you are looking for an hotel to sleep only one night in a simple simple hotel room ok but if you want an hotel to rest more night I recommend you another one. we’ve been disappointed.

Pros: The river near the hotel

Cons: Not clean
