Across the road from the river. Always activities going on on a weekend with people fishing etc. Lively on a weekend. During the week it's very quiet. Catholic church 2 minutes walk away. Summerstrand beach and Cape Recife is only 25 minutes away.

Nothing to dislike.

What a lovely place. We stayed there while PE was experiencing power and water outage. It was like our home away from home. Basie really went out of his way to open for us at 9pm. Would definitely recommend a stay here. Close to PE so you can literally just take the highway and reach PE in 10 minutes.
