Some days the pool looked filthy, but the staff was clearly fighting against it, so it might be a problem related with their filtering equipment. This pousada is a great value, they offer a daily schedule to the beaches for free, each day a different beach. Good breakfast and free dvds. Very central location, close to the bus terminal, almost every beach is within walking distance for those that don't mind spending up to 10 to 30 minutes walking. Cheap transportation service is available nearby for just R$2,50 and it's possible to walk to the city centre in just 10minutes.
