Escape to Paradise: Pousada Camila Awaits in Paraty, Brazil - A Review from Someone Who Actually Went (And Lived to Tell the Tale)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your average polished hotel review. This is the real deal, the gritty underbelly of a vacation, the truth about escaping to Escape to Paradise: Pousada Camila in the unbelievably gorgeous Paraty, Brazil. I'm talking sunshine, sloths (maybe), and the potential to completely lose track of which day it is (a definite win in my book).
First things first: The Vibe. Pousada Camila isn't some soulless chain hotel. It’s got character, a certain je ne sais quoi that whispers, "Relax, sweetheart. You’re officially on holiday mode." Think colorful walls, breezy balconies, and a general air of "laid-back luxury." More on the "luxury" later, because let's be real, I’m here for the good times, not the sterile perfection.
Accessibility: The Good, the Could-Be-Better.
Alright, let's get down to brass tacks. I am not in a wheelchair, but I always pay attention to accessibility, cause why NOT? Pousada Camila boasts elevator, which is a huge plus, especially considering the hilliness of Paraty. That said, I didn't specifically assess every inch for wheelchair accessibility. I'd suggest calling ahead and asking very specific questions if that's a crucial factor for you. They do advertise facilities for disabled guests, which is a good start, but I suggest you call to confirm. Internet Access: Wi-Fi Whisperer
Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! And, miraculously, it actually works. Praise the internet gods! There's also Wi-Fi in public areas, in case you're the type who has to check your emails while sipping a Caipirinha by the pool (I'm not judging). And the best part is, it's stable enough to stream Netflix. Because, priorities. I didn't even sniff around for Internet [LAN], let's be honest.
Cleanliness and Safety: Germaphobes, Rejoice!
Listen, post-pandemic, the cleanliness game is crucial. And Pousada Camila, they're taking it SERIOUSLY. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere you turn, and Rooms sanitized between stays. They definitely walked the extra mile. The staff are well-trained, and even though I can't personally verify the professional-grade sanitizing services used, I felt a lot safer knowing they were doing their part. You get a sense for these things, right?
And the Cashless payment service felt extremely modern.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: My Personal Paradise
Okay, this is where things get really interesting. The Breakfast [buffet] deserves a medal. Forget your bland continental breakfast. This is a feast! Fresh tropical fruits (the mango!), scrambled eggs cooked to fluffy perfection (the chef’s secret?), and a selection of pastries that'll make your dentist weep.
Anecdote: I may or may not have snuck a few extra guava pastries into my bag for later. Don't judge me. It's Paraty.
Stream of consciousness: Okay, so the poolside bar… it's essential. Picture this: you've spent the morning exploring the cobblestone streets of Paraty, getting pleasantly lost in the shops. Now, you're back at the pousada, sun-kissed and craving something refreshing. The Poolside bar is there for that very moment.
Opinion: The Happy hour at the bar is a must-do. They make a mean Caipirinha (the national cocktail), the prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is pure bliss.
Things I missed: Vegetarian restaurant, Asian cuisine, Lunch or supper.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax: Serenity Now (Maybe Later)
Ways to relax? I felt like I was able to choose from several options, mainly including spa/Sauna. They have a pool with views. Heaven. A Body scrub, definitely. A Massage. I felt I was in good hands.
For the Kids: Family Funday!
Pousada Camila is Family/child friendly, and they have babysitting service. It sounds like vacation for everyone!
Available in All Rooms
I had an Air conditioning, and an Air conditioning in public area. Bathrobes were provided. I enjoyed my Bathtub. I had Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, and a Desk. They had an extra long bed. I had a Hair dryer, an In-room safe box. I used the Laptop workspace. I had Linens. I had a Mini bar. There was a Refrigerator, a Seating area, and a Sofa. I could make calls using the Telephone.
Services and Conveniences: Your Every Whim Addressed
Anecdote: I totally used the Concierge to book a sunset catamaran tour. Amazing!
Random rambling: The Doorman was always super helpful, offering everything from advice on where to eat (he sent me to a local's favorite that I NEVER would have found on my own) to help with my luggage. Getting Around: Easy Breezy
They have Car park [free of charge] which is amazing. I definitely used the Taxi service.
My Verdict?
Look, if you're looking for a hotel that's full of pretension, Pousada Camila isn't it. But if you want a truly memorable escape to paradise, a place where you can relax, recharge, and maybe even get a little bit lost in the beauty of Paraty, then book it. You won't regret it.

Escape to Paradise: Your Dream Home Awaits in Bangsan, Chonburi!
Okay, buckle up, Buttercup. This isn't your grandma's perfectly-planned-color-coded itinerary. This is me, attempting to wrangle a trip to Pousada Camila in Paraty, Brazil, and letting my brain vomit it onto the page. Expect tangents, expect overthinking, and expect me to probably end up craving pão de queijo by the end of this.
Day 1: Arrival & Oh My God, Is That a Caipirinha Calling Me?
Morning (Okay, More Like Late Morning): Flight lands in Rio. Ugh, airports. The sheer number of people radiating stress is enough to give me a headache before I even get to the luggage carousel. Found my bag! Success! Now, the taxi… Praying the driver speaks some English. I'm pretty sure my Portuguese extends to "Obrigado" and "Um cerveja, por favor," which isn't exactly going to get me cross-country.
Afternoon: Drive from Rio to Paraty. The scenery! Holy Moly! Lush green hills, turquoise water… Okay, deep breaths. Don't fall out the window gawking. The driver… bless his heart, is blasting Brazilian pop music at full volume. It's… an experience. My brain is officially mush.
- Pousada Camila Check-in: Beautiful, charming… and OMG, that patio. I swear, I almost cried from the visual symphony of bougainvillea and rustic charm. The staff is lovely, a mix of "I'm-so-happy-you're-here" and "I-probably-understand-less-of-your-Portuguese-than-you-think." But hey, they’re trying!
- Emotional Collapse Moment: The room! My room! It's so cozy and sun-drenched. I did a little happy dance right there, then promptly spilled sunscreen everywhere. I'm a disaster.
Evening: Wandering around Paraty's cobblestone streets. Seriously, they’re like ancient teeth. Tripped twice. Almost ate a lamppost. The architecture is stunning, and oh, the colors! So many vibrant doors and windows, it’s like a painter had a massive, glorious party here.
- Dinner: Found a charming little boteco – a bar/restaurant. Ordered the local fish stew. Pretty sure there was a lot of oil in there. But it was delicious, and I think the waiter’s raised eyebrow at my messy eating (splatter) was a sign of affection.
- The Caipirinha Temptation: Resisted the urge to inhale a caipirinha on the spot. But it's calling to me… like a siren song.
Day 2: Boats, Beaches, and Regrets (Maybe… About the Breakfast Buffet?)
Morning: Okay, let's be honest. I overate at the Pousada's breakfast spread. That fruit… that cheese… that pão de queijo. I'm going to need a bigger swimsuit.
- Boat Trip! Now listen. I booked a boat trip. I thought "sun, sea, and snorkeling!" Reality: sun, sea, and the distinct aroma of sunscreen and cheap rum. But hey, the water was crystal clear. The snorkeling wasn't half bad, though my coordination is still failing, hit a jellyfish!
- The Beach (and My Inability to Relax): Visited a beach. White sand, palm trees… the whole tropical shebang. Tried to relax. Failed miserably. I’m constantly thinking about the things I have to do when I go back to work. What a waste of beautiful place!
Afternoon: The boat trip continued! We stopped at a few more beaches. I am obsessed with the local food and I'm trying to eat every food in Paraty.
Evening: Wander around the town some more. I decided to go to a restaurant - a restaurant where the waitress looked at me funny because I ordered the seafood stew, again. I spent my free time going to a souvenir shop. I don't know why I bought so many souvenirs I will never use.
Day 3: The Hiking Hell, The Waterfall Heaven
Morning: Hired a taxi to go hiking in the Serra da Bocaina National Park. The driver showed up one hour late… and, well, the hiking was HARD. I’m not a hiker, and I thought my lungs were going to explode. The landscape was stunning, though. Even if I could barely breathe to appreciate it during my ascent. I'm pretty sure a monkey laughed at me.
Afternoon: Found a waterfall! Pure magic. Crystal-clear water, perfect for a refreshing dip. I spent an hour there just sitting and listening to the water, and this time I didn't think about anything! I've never felt so relaxed.
- That Waterfall Moment: I stripped down to my bathing suit and jumped in. The cold water was shocking but invigorating. I swam, I splashed, and I felt… free. It was the purest moment of the trip. Just me, the water, and the sound of nature. I wish I could live there.
Evening: Dinner at a fancy restaurant. It was good, but somehow, I was craving a simple meal. The waiters make me feel like a foreigner.
Day 4: Goodbye (For Now!) & Existential Dread
Morning: Trying to pack. The suitcase is a chaotic mess of wet swimsuits, sand, and souvenirs I'll probably regret. Breakfast again: pão de queijo. One last gluttonous hurrah.
Check-Out: More teary farewells to the Pousada staff. I swear, I’m going to miss this place.
Departure: The drive back to Rio. The melancholic feeling of the holiday being over. The realization that I have to go back to my routine. I will miss the beautiful landscape and the sun.
**Flight: **I'm already planning my return. I need another dose of Paraty. Maybe I'll *actually* learn some Portuguese next time.
Final Thoughts:
Paraty. It’s a place that gets under your skin. It’s beautiful, messy, and full of unexpected moments. It’s a place that makes you question everything and then reminds you to just… breathe. And eat more pão de queijo. (Seriously, I need to learn how to make that.) I'm leaving a piece of my heart there. Until next time, Paraty.
