The on-site amenities, including a highly-rated restaurant and great breakfast options, greatly enhance the overall experience, making it unnecessary to venture far for dining.

Guests also commend the excellent service provided by the helpful and welcoming staff, contributing to the overall comfort and satisfaction of the stay. However, access to the inn can be challenging due to poorly maintained roads, especially in rainy conditions and the distance from downtown Ubatuba might be a drawback for those wanting frequent access to urban conveniences.

Overall, Kaliman Pousada is highly regarded for its marvelous beachfront location, exceptional service and peaceful surroundings, making it a top choice for those looking to enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility of the seaside.

While the majority of the reviews are glowing, a few guests noted the lack of hot options or mentioned the repetitive nature of the menu. Nonetheless, these comments are minor compared to the overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Overall, Kaliman Pousada's breakfast stands out for its quality, variety and delightful beachfront setting, making it a memorable part of the stay for many guests.

Dinner
Kaliman Pousada's dining experience receives high praise for its exceptional and varied food offerings. Guests have noted the delicious, well-served and abundant dishes with many highlighting the quality and taste as outstanding. The restaurant's sushi bar has been described as excellent and special mention has been made of meals featuring fish and shrimp, as well as the shark moqueca. The service at the restaurant, including room service and interactions with named employees like Rafael and Lucelia, is often highlighted for being friendly and efficient, contributing to a homely and comfortable environment.

While the food quality and service are highly commendable, opinions on pricing are less favorable. Many reviews point out that the cost of meals at the restaurant is significantly high, sometimes mentioning that prices are above the regional average and can be unaffordable for families. Despite the elevated costs, the restaurant appears to maintain a good standard with some guests recommending planning meals at adjacent restaurants to manage expenses.

In summary, Kaliman Pousada's restaurant impresses with its sensational and varied cuisine, excellent service and a sushi bar that stands out. However, the high prices may deter some guests from dining in frequently, highlighting a need for more accessible pricing options.

Rooms
Kaliman Pousada offers a range of room experiences, from spacious and bright accommodations to some that might need a touch of improvement. Guests consistently praise the accommodations for being clean, large and comfortable with attentive daily room service and pleasant touches like meticulous towel arrangements resembling animals. Many rooms boast stunning views of the ocean and beach, adding to the overall relaxing atmosphere.

The rooms often feature comfortable beds, modern bathrooms and well-maintained facilities, ensuring guests have a pleasant stay. Air conditioning is a standard amenity, though occasionally it can be loud or ineffective. Despite these minor issues, rooms with a view tend to leave a lasting impression.

However, not all feedback is glowing. Some rooms suffer from issues such as musty or moldy smells, small and cramped spaces and noise from the street or nearby amenities. There are also mentions of encounters with mosquitoes and, at times, cockroaches, which can affect the overall experience. A few guests noted that certain rooms need better maintenance and updates to facilities like the TV and bathroom fixtures.

Despite these drawbacks, most guests find the accommodations at Kaliman Pousada satisfactory, valuing the cleanliness, comfort and exceptional service provided. The close proximity to the beach and the serene views often make up for the occasional lapse in room quality, making it a worthwhile stay for many travelers.

Beds
Kaliman Pousada offers a variety of beds that often receive mixed reviews from guests. On the positive side, numerous reviews highlight the comfort of the beds with several mentioning that the beds are new, clean and comfortable. The beds are described as enough for three people, boasting quality bedding and soft mattresses. Some guests found the beds to be very comfortable with accommodations that include excellent beds and large, comfortable bedsteads. The rooms themselves are frequently labeled as comfortable with clean beds and overall good accommodations.

However, there were some concerns noted by the guests. A few reviews mentioned issues like mattresses with imperfections or too soft and irregular, making them difficult to sleep on. The frequent use of two single beds pushed together to form a double bed was also pointed out, which some guests found unsatisfactory. Moreover, the pillows often did not meet guests' standards, being described as worn out, uncomfortable or too narrow. Reviews noted a discrepancy in mattress quality with some requiring replacements due to being too worn out or hard.

In summary, while many guests appreciate the comfort and quality of the beds at Kaliman Pousada, there is room for improvement, particularly regarding mattress uniformity and pillow quality to ensure a consistently comfortable experience for all guests.

Cleanliness
Kaliman Pousada consistently receives high praise for its cleanliness. Guests frequently highlight the exceptional overall cleanliness, immaculate rooms and the well-maintained common areas. Words like sparkling, impeccable and spotless are commonly used to describe the facilities, including the rooms that guests found clean organized and often fragrant. Housekeeping appears to provide top-notch service with rooms regularly cleaned and towels changed daily. High marks were given for the hygiene protocols, which were generally executed excellently.

While the majority of feedback is overwhelmingly positive, a few concerns were noted, such as occasional issues with cleanliness, including reports of cockroaches in some hallways and mold in certain rooms. Some reviews mentioned inconsistent housekeeping schedules, which could lead to dirt accumulating on balconies and inadequate cleaning during the stay. Despite these isolated incidents, the inn's overall cleanliness and attention to detail significantly enhance the guest experience. The housekeeping staff often receive special commendations for their diligence and the pleasant environment they help maintain.

Staff
Kaliman Pousada has received consistently positive feedback about its staff, highlighting their attentiveness, friendliness and professionalism. Guests frequently compliment the housekeepers, such as Amélia, Edneia and Luci and the restaurant waiters, like Gustavo and Mauricio, for their exceptional service. The staff is commonly described as polite, helpful and welcoming, contributing significantly to guest satisfaction. Many reviewers note that the staff goes above and beyond to assist, often with a smile, ensuring a delightful experience.

While the staff in general received high praise for their demeanor and service, there were occasional criticisms of the reception staff. Some guests found the front desk service lacking in terms of friendliness and efficiency, contrasting with the otherwise exemplary service throughout the property.

Guests are especially appreciative of the courteous and helpful attitudes of all personnel, contributing to a warm and inviting atmosphere. The high level of cleanliness and the thoughtful details, such as making towel animals, also add to the pleasant experience. Although the reception area faced some negative remarks, the positive impact of the other staff members generally left a lasting, favorable impression on visitors.

Wi-Fi
Kaliman Pousada offers an appealing getaway with various amenities, but guests frequently encounter issues with the Wi-Fi connectivity. While some visitors have praised the excellent Wi-Fi signal available at the beach and in common areas, a recurring problem is the weak and inconsistent internet in the rooms. The Wi-Fi struggles with stability, often failing or being slow, which adversely affects the guest experience. Many have noted that the Wi-Fi signal drops frequently and is particularly poor within individual rooms with limited or no connection in various parts of the property. While there are mentions of the internet being usable in some spots, an overall improvement in Wi-Fi coverage and stability is needed. The hotel might consider adding more routers or upgrading its systems to ensure a more reliable and satisfying online experience for its guests.

Pool
The pool at Kaliman Pousada evokes mixed feelings among guests. On a positive note, many appreciated its cleanliness and refreshing nature, describing it as super clean and pleasant. Its beautiful oceanfront setting creates a picturesque view, making it a beloved highlight for some. The shallow pool received praise for its suitability and the outdoor pool was noted to be very pleasant with nice facilities.

However, there are numerous concerns that several guests highlighted. Common complaints include its small size and limited surrounding space, which can make it feel cramped and inadequate for the number of guests. The presence of too many palm trees around the pool further restricts the already limited space. Additionally, the pool’s cold water temperature and lack of heating was a frequent point of dissatisfaction, especially given its beachfront location.

Further issues were raised about the pool's maintenance with mentions of it being green at times, cloudy and occasionally having dead insects. Guests also observed that the area around the pool needs more sunbeds, painting and general finishing work. There were comments about the pool’s isolated position and a feeling that the area seemed abandoned.

Operational hours of the pool were another concern with guests remarking that it opens too late and closes too early. This scheduling was a significant inconvenience for those wanting to enjoy more flexible swim times.

In summary, while the pool’s scenic oceanfront position and cleanliness are appreciated, improvements in size, heating and maintenance, along with extended operational hours and more amenities, could greatly enhance the guests' experience.

Beach
Kaliman Pousada offers a prime beachfront experience that combines convenience and comfort with an idyllic setting. The hotel's standout feature is its location right on the serene and uncrowded Sapê Beach, giving guests the luxury of direct and easy access to clean, calm waters. This family-friendly beach is perfect for children with its shallow areas and absence of loud music, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere.

Guests consistently praise the excellent beach service provided by the hotel, which includes chairs, umbrellas and attentive staff ready to meet their needs. The beach service is often described as impeccable, making it easy for visitors to relax and enjoy their stay from morning till evening.

The surrounding area is described as peaceful and relaxing, offering a practically private beach experience without the crowds. Guests appreciate the security and the clean, well-maintained beach, which is ideal for both leisurely strolls and swimming.

Whether enjoying the "feet in the sand" convenience or partaking in the exemplary beach service, guests find their experience at Kaliman Pousada to be both memorable and refreshing. The combination of a beautiful, pristine beach and top-notch service makes this inn a highly recommended option for a beachside getaway.

Parking
Kaliman Pousada offers a variety of parking options, which include free and spacious areas, some of which are conveniently located near the hotel. For those arriving with vehicles, parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. While parking availability can be ample and well-organized at times, there are also some challenges to consider.

The parking lot has been noted to be on the smaller side, especially during peak hours and some spots may be tight for larger vehicles like SUVs. Guests have mentioned the parking situation can become chaotic and disorganized with some cars ending up parked on the street or dirt roads. Additionally, there are no dedicated luggage loading or unloading spaces and coverage is limited.

Despite these limitations, the inn's peaceful surrounding streets and good parking accessibility offer some ease. Improvement in the organization and expansion of parking facilities would enhance the overall guest experience.

The pousada is renowned for its high standards in gastronomy, delivering an upscale-caliber dining experience. The structure and facilities of Kaliman Pousada have garnered positive feedback with many guests appreciating the great structure and organization.

However, not all reviews align with a consistent four-star experience. Some guests feel that the rooms could benefit from modern furniture upgrades and noted that the structural aspects resemble a simpler hotel. While the value for the price is generally considered reasonable and high value, there are mentions of it being average for a four-star rating.

Overall, the pousada’s accessibility features and strategic location make it a suitable choice for many travelers.
