Beautiful pousada, in the middle of nowhere. The staff was very friendly, the food was amazing. Very quiet. Pool . You take your shower with open celling. Everything clean and nice

Nothing

Jacqueline, the manager made all the difference- we found our initial accommodation unsuitable and she was great organizing alternatives and helping with transfers. Very good restaurant and a lovely ambiance.

The property is a little far from the center of Atins but is quiet.

People were very kind and the place is beautiful.

Location: there's a nightclub nearby with ridiculously loud music all night, which makes it absolutely impossible to sleep or even rest. I got up with a headache. Worst night of my holidays.

I got to start by praising the manager, Valerio. Totally kind, attentive and professional. I have traveled a lot in my life, different countries and trip budgets, but it was in Velho Bateau that I was best treated. Valerio is always available making sure everything happens perfectly, and he goes above and beyond to provide his guests with the best experience ever. Valerio is definitely one of the best "assets" of Velho Bateau. Breakfast was delicious. The kitchen staff would prepare amazing eggs with cheese and ham, cake, bread, fruit, tapioca, and all kinds of outstanding Brazilian-fruit juices (e.g. caja, cupuacu, acerola). Coffee and tea also available, of course. Everything very fresh, clean and tidy. Moreover, the kitchen staff serves exceptional on-demand meals for lunch and dinner, totally worth trying - specially the New Year's feast, but I don't think that is coming around again until the end of 2021 lol. The structure is also great, probably the best hotel/hostel in Atins - I actually heard it from many different people in Atins, so it is not only my opinion. And it is fit for all tastes: if you are on a lower budget or want to experience communal life, you can sleep in one of the beds or hammocks in the hostel section. If you want more privacy, you can get one of the chalets. I personally tried both, as I stayed more than a week at Velho Bateau. Being totally honest, the hammock was the best, and it did wonders for my back (not joking here). With respect to Atins itself, I will not say more than "go see for yourself, you will be in awe, I am sure".

I have to be honest, the wi-fi signal wasn't the greatest for a few days during New Year's celebration. That was actually to be expected, as Atins was full of tourists and the internet grid was filled beyond its capacity. And to be fair, not having high-speed wi-fi for a few days was not a problem. Part of the fun of going to Atins is to experience nature, time with friends, and have fun outdoors (not on a screen). So, even though tech-addiction is a strong thing to overcome, a little less cellphone time ended up being a positive factor to the whole experience.
