Lovely 2-day side trip to Saquarema. The 4-bed dorm room and the downstairs was spacious, clean and comfortable. The beach is a close 5 min. walk, with restaurants and a great view of the Church in town. Quiet streets, horses grazing, 40 miles of beautiful beach and huge surf (can hear the surf from the balcony at certain times). We walked everywhere from the hostel, safely, even at night. Jose was a great, laid back host who was interesting to get to know. Would definitely go back.

Saqua hostel and surf is a very relaxed place. It's a nice and spacious house that offers everything you need. Jose is a really nice guy and very helpful! I stayed 3 nights and absolutely loved it, excellent place to chill out! Close to the beach and not too far from the supermarket. I definetely recommend it!

This is the worst hostel we been to in South America. There is no internet, no kitchen-table, it´s dirty, the man who owns the place couldn´t call a taxi for us so we had to walk the 2,5km (with heavy backpacks) to the busstation. The location is far from the beach and veeery far from city center.

Hi Lina, I feel sorry you are the first (maybe only) person who don't like my place. It's a shame because people should be happy travelling but I understand some people are strange and never happy at all. Here I try to answer all your complains .. about the internet you knew there was a problem before you come, about the taxi you ask me to call it at last moment and I could not call and please do NOT lie about far from the beach because there are 2 beaches, Massambaba only 200 meters and Itauna (surf spot) 300 meters from the hostel. Saquarema is a place to the people looking for beach, sun, surf, fun, making friends ...

We had such a great time at this hostel. Jose is a wonderful host and helped us with everything we needed. The beach is 3 minutes away and is pristine with great local restaurants and surfing, town is a 20 minute walk or 5 reals on a bicycle taxi. The rooms are spacious, there is a great book and dvd collection in the lounge and you are able to hire surf boards or boogie boards to take down to the beach with you.

Totally chilled out place, nice and quiet but near to the beach, good for surfers. Jose is very relaxed and pretty knowledgeable about whats whats around.

If you wan´t to take it easy, this is te place to be. Located in a quiet town. There is a nice beach just few hundred meters from the hostel and you will find very few people there. We stayed in a double room which was very nice with lots of space. Two nice dogs also hang around the house.
