we only stay one night but it was pleasont. the dorms are ok. the bathroom was clean. It is located on the beach which was nice, nut 20 minutes of walking to the historic centre. the restaurant at the hostel is very nice, and the food is good. be careful to mosquitos though!! the night was cheap for a good prestation!

Didnt like being charged to listen to the live music and kitchen could've had a bit more cooking stuff. Otherwise great hostel and we really enjoyed our stay.

We reserved a double room. The first one which was offered was very small so we took another one with more space. The room smelled, it was damp and dark and later on we discovered that something was leaking so there was a puddle with water which attracted mosquitos. Next to all the mosuito bites I had to go the hospital and I got a bacteria for which I got an antibiotica injection. I wouldnt recommend this hostel to anyone.

Lovely hostel opposite the beach in Paraty. Really good vibe and very chilled place to stay. The staff were very friendly. The only drawback is that its a bit of a trek to the bus station where you need to take a bus to the other (better) beaches around Paraty. But a great hostel and I definitely would recommend.

Nice spot by the beach front, but a good 10-15 mins walk from the main town or 25 Rs in a taxi! We stayed in a mixed dorm which was pretty cramped and not that clean. The hostel had a nice bar, but as it's so big, it wasn't necessarily conducive to meeting other travellers.

Owner Comment (Show)
Hi. We were surprised to hear you comment as we received you all here like we received everybody, and nobody complained about our staff, we are friendly, and always wiling to help. If we knew you had a problem you would have help, but the time you were here you did not complained about anything, actually a friend of yours that came with you stayed here more 5 days after you guys left and he had nothing to complain about. I am not saying that Sereia do mar is perfect but we certain try the best we can to make the guests feel like there were at home. We apologize for any inconvenient. regards, Sereia do mar.
