Unfortunately, the project ran out of funding and is closed. It used to be a very nice place, protecting turtles while breeding.
(Translated by Google) The place is a bit abandoned, the staff and volunteers are super attentive, Maria (cuca), Michele and Iara are wonderful, (Original) Lugar esta um pouco abandonado, funcionários e voluntários super atencios, Maria ( cuca), Michele e Iara maravilhosas,
(Translated by Google) Excellent. A cohesive, friendly, dynamic and knowledgeable team. With a great ability to convey the message of defense and protection not only of marine biota, but also of raising public awareness of the need to preserve and respect nature. It is an exciting spectacle to watch those little ones running to the sea. (Original) Excelente. Equipe coesa, gentil, dinâmica e instruída. Com uma ótima capacidade de transmissão da mensagem por defesa e proteção não só da biota marinha, mas tbm a conscientização pública da manutenção e o respeito à natureza. Espetáculo emocionante acompanhar aquelas pequeninas a correrem para o mar.
(Translated by Google) I love this place ❤️ Excellent to take the kids on the weekend or vacation. Congratulations to those responsible for the project! 👏🏻 (Original) Amo esse lugar ❤️ Excelente para levar a criançada no final de semana ou férias. Parabéns aos responsáveis pelo projeto! 👏🏻
(Translated by Google) The project is really cool, I was very happy to see the release of the 82 loggerhead turtle hatchlings. (Original) O projeto é super bacana, fiquei muito feliz em ver a soltura dos 82 filhotes de tartaruga cabeçuda.

Very Very good the place
(Translated by Google) The hotel is well-located, and the facilities, even the reception, are presentable. However, the rooms aren't up to par. They're very basic, with a leaking shower stall, and the balcony doesn't block out the street noise. I had to sleep with the TV on, but the noise was still annoying. The most negative aspect was breakfast. Both days, the menu included papaya, watermelon, two types of plain cakes, bread, and hot dog sauce. One day, I had to request bread, and the other, there was no mozzarella, and neither had ham. A complete departure from the standard of breakfasts at similar hotels. Improving the breakfast and the soundproofing of the window/balcony would be 100% recommendable, but since these two issues were so poor, I can't recommend it. (Original) Hotel bem localizado, estrutura até a recepção me apresentável, já os quartos não seguem o mesmo padrão. Bem simples, box do banheiro vazando água, a varanda não veda os barulhos da avenida, tive que dormir com TV ligada ainda assim barulho incomodou. Destaque mais negativo foi café da manhã. Nos dois dias tinha: mamão, melancia, dois tipos de bolos simples, pão de sal e molho de cachorro quente. Um dia tive que solicitar pão e no outro não tinha mussarela, nenhum dos dois tinha, por exemplo, presunto. Fuga total do padrão dos cafés da manhã de hotéis do mesmo padrão. Melhorando o café da manhã e a vedação sonora da janela/varanda, seria recomendável 100%, mas como esses dois pontos foram muito ruins, não dá para recomendar.
(Translated by Google) The hotel is very simple. The mattress and towels are very good. The bathroom is bad, the toilet was leaking and the tiles are very old. The TV was still a tube TV. The minibar is good and there is also a desk and chair. The air conditioning is good. The coffee shop has few options. There is no parking. The staff is very attentive. (Original) O hotel é muito simples. O colchão e as toalhas são muito bons. O banheiro é ruim, o vaso estava soltando e os ladrilhos são muito antigos. A tv era de tubo ainda. O frigobar é bom e ainda tem uma escrivaninha e cadeira. O ar condicionado é bom. O café tem poucas opções. Não tem estacionamento. Os funcionários são muito atenciosos.
(Translated by Google) There was used soap in the bathroom and the sink was full of hair, it honestly looks like the bathroom wasn't even cleaned, very simple breakfast (Original) Tinha sabonete usado no banheiro e a pia cheia de pelo, sinceramente parece que o banheiro nem foi lavado, café da manhã bem simples
(Translated by Google) Hotel well located in São Mateus, very close to the bus station and the bus stop that takes you to Guriri, and you can walk there in minutes. Very good service. They were flexible, letting me check in 1 hour early and check out 1 hour later. Room ok, quiet split air conditioning, TV, minibar and good bed (not too soft), very good Wi-Fi, maybe because the hotel was more empty. Cons: very poor breakfast. There was only French bread and 1 cake, it looked like hostel coffee. I even asked if that was really it or if I had arrived late but they told me that was all. For R$90 I thought it was pretty poor. (Original) Hotel bem localizado em São Mateus, muito próximo a rodoviária e ao ponto de ônibus que leva a Guriri, podendo fazer esse percurso a pé em minutos. Atendimento muito bom. Foram flexíveis, me deixando entrar 1h antes e sair 1h depois. Quarto ok, ar condicionado split silencioso, TV, frigobar e cama boa (não era mole), wi-fi muito bom, talvez devido ao hotel estar mais vazio. Contra: café da manhã muito pobre. Só tinha pão francês e 1 bolo, parecia café de hostel. Até perguntei se era aquilo mesmo ou se eu tinha chegado tarde mas me disseram ser só isso mesmo. Por R$90 achei bem fraco.
(Translated by Google) I stayed at the hotel for 8 days with three people in the room. The first room they put us in had three single beds and the air conditioning was old and was still attached to one of the beds, making it impossible to sleep there. The toilet was also leaking. We asked to change rooms and were given a more modern one with a double and single bed, which was much better than the other room. As for breakfast, the same things were offered every day: coffee, tea, milk, chocolate milk, butter, bread, watermelon, papaya and mangaba juice. There were no changes to the menu. As for cleanliness, I have nothing to complain about. In fact, I would like to congratulate the cleaning and kitchen staff, Camila and Mr. Ozônio (reception) for their politeness, who were always super helpful and polite, unlike the other staff and the hotel owner, who often didn't even respond to our good morning/night wishes. Furthermore, the hotel is a peaceful place, which takes around 30 minutes by bus to get to the beach (but the bus picks us up and drops us off at the corner of the hotel), and it is a peaceful neighborhood even for sitting in the square in front. (Original) Fiquei hospedada no hotel por 08 dias com três pessoas no quarto, o primeiro quarto que nos colocaram eram com três camas de solteiro e o ar condicionado era antigo e ainda ficava pregado em uma das cama, sendo assim era impossível dormir lá, além do vaso estar soltando tbm. Solicitamos a troca do quarto e fomos para um mais moderno com uma cama de casal e solteiro que em comparação ao outro quarto melhorou muito. Referente ao café da manhã, todos os dias foram oferecidos as mesmas coisas: café, chá, leite, achocolatado, manteiga, pão de sal, melancia, mamão e suco de mangaba, não houve nenhum tipo de mudanças no cardápio. Referente a limpeza não tenho nada a reclamar, aliás parabenizo a educação dos funcionários da limpeza, cozinha, da Camila e o Sr. Ozônio (recepção) que a todo momento foram super prestativos e educados, ao contrário dos outros funcionários juntamente com a dona do hotel, que muitas vezes nem o bom dia/noite que dávamos eles respondiam. No mais, o Hotel é um lugar tranquilo, que para chegar na praia demora em torno de 30 minutos de ônibus (mas o ônibus pega e deixa a gente na esquina do hotel), e é um bairro tranquilo até mesmo para sentar na praça de frente.
(Translated by Google) I stayed for 1 night, but everything was impeccable, the air conditioning worked perfectly, the minibar was brand new, I felt like staying for more days, but since I was just passing through for work, I will definitely come back again. The cleanliness was excellent, the breakfast was wonderful, I felt like staying for more days, congratulations to the hotel staff, it was a thousand points 🥰 (Original) Me hospedei 1 diária, mais tudo impecável, ar-condicionado funcionando perfeitamente, frigobar tudo novinho,à vontade que deu foi passar mais dias,mais como estava de passagem a Trabalho, com certeza voltarei mais vezes. Limpeza nota 10, café da manhã maravilhosa a vontade é de passar mais dias, parabéns a equipe do hotel nota mil🥰

(Translated by Google) The renovation was very good and the exercise equipment was all new. (Original) A reforma feita ficou muito boa os aparelhos de exercícios todo novinho.
(Translated by Google) After the renovation, the square is much better. The toys are good and everything looks very nice. The problem is that the city government of Serra builds or renovates and then says "Goodbye". If something breaks, it's gone, they don't fix it. Another issue is the cleanliness of the surrounding area. The city government cleans and trims the grass, but with long intervals. As a result, large grass and trash are common in the square and on the bike path. Unfortunately, the locals don't help either and leave trash everywhere. (Original) Após a reforma a praça ficou muito melhor. Os brinquedos são bons e tudo ficou muito bonito. O problema é que a prefeitura da Serra constrói ou reforma e depois diz "Adeus". Se quebrar alguma coisa, já era, não consertam. Outro ponto é a limpeza nos arredores. A prefeitura limpa e apara o mato, mas com um grande intervalo. Resultado, mato grande e lixo é comum na praça e na ciclovia. Infelizmente o povo também não ajuda e deixa lixo pra tudo que é lado.
(Translated by Google) Every now and then there's a wonderful futvoley (Original) De vez enquanto rola um futvoley maravilhoso
