“Great pousada, great hosts!”

We went to Fernando de Noronha expecting that nobody will speak English, Wi-Fi won't work, and we were going to rent a buggy to travel on the island.

We went to Fernando de Noronha expecting that nobody will speak English, Wi-Fi won't work, and we were going to rent a buggy to travel on the island. When the hosts from Alquimista met us, it turned out their English is very good, they are very cheerful and informative, they told us about relative prices for buggy vs taxi vs bus, and we decided not to rent a buggy. Pousada was very comfortable with good air conditioning, convenient bed, etc. The Wi-Fi in the pousada worked! (when it was not cloudy :) ) The hosts told us a lot about the beaches, the tours, the restaurants, the national park tickets, etc. They helped even when they didn't have to, just because they could help. They even bought something for breakfast in the last day especially because we were asking about it before :) The pousada is close to the center with all the restaurants, to a bus station and to the "usual" beaches. To go to any of the famous beaches - Sancho Bay, Baia do Sueste, Cacimba do Padre - you will anyway have to take bus or taxi.

“Not worth it”

First I should say that Fernando is in my view extremely overhyped and overpriced, a tourist trap – or that is what it felt like, but that’s a subject for a different review The poussada is very well equipped with a group of young guys running it.

First I should say that Fernando is in my view extremely overhyped and overpriced, a tourist trap – or that is what it felt like, but that’s a subject for a different review The poussada is very well equipped with a group of young guys running it. They have good knowledge of English so communication is easy. There is also a free shuttle from the airport Don’t expect any close to normal wifi reception. We had the room closest to reception where the transmitter was and reception was close to zero. I had to move within 1 meter of the transmitter to have pages move at the speed of about 1 page a minute. Hard to believe there is nothing that can be done about that., because it was considerably better in other locations (restaurants) on the island. Breakfast is poor – not even any Orange Juice is available – No juice in Brazil ? Seriously ? Breakfast is very inconveniently till 9.30 am and after that cleaning rooms is till 12, so you have to leave your room if you want it to be cleaned even if it pouring down with rain and there is nowhere to go. Anyway. Not bad, but definitely a lot of room for improvement.
