Getting Started: The Arrival & The "Woah" Moment
First off, getting to Jeri is an adventure in itself. Forget smooth roads; you're bouncing through sand dunes in a 4x4. Trust me, by the time you pull up to Pedra Furada, you're ready for a slice of paradise. And let me tell you, they deliver.
Accessibility:
Now, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I always notice these things. Finding out if the place is good accessible is important for so many reasons, so I checked. The front desk, are accessible. From there, the access is good inside. There are no super steep steps from what I saw. All is great.
Checking-in & the First Drinks:
Check-in was smooth – like, seriously, ridiculously smooth. Contactless, even. The staff were genuine, not the overly-polished robots you sometimes get. I swear, the welcome drink was already halfway down my throat before I'd even fully registered my surroundings.
Rooms - My Home for a Week
The rooms are just… chef's kiss. I snagged a room with a balcony, overlooking the pool.
- Amenities that mattered: Air conditioning that actually worked (bless!), free Wi-Fi that didn't drop out every five seconds, a mini-bar stocked with goodies, and (and this is important) a seriously comfortable bed.
- Details that delighted: Blackout curtains, which were essential for those post-beach naps. Also, they provided robes and slippers. The shower was amazing.
The Spa & Relaxation - My "Zen" Moment
Okay, I'm not usually a "spa guy." I tend to feel a bit awkward. But the vibe at Pedra Furada is so chill, so unpretentious, that I caved.
- The Massage: I opted for a deep-tissue massage (because apparently, all the sandboarding takes its toll). The masseuse was phenomenal. I swear, she unravelled knots I didn't even know I had. I melted into the table and seriously considered asking her to just move in. It was pure bliss.
- Other ways to find my zen: Sauna, the gym.
Food, Glorious Food: Dining That Delighted
I'm a foodie, and Pedra Furada's dining didn't disappoint. The food varied, the service was excellent.
- Breakfast: The Start of the Day: The breakfast buffet was phenomenal.
- Dinner Under the Stars: They have a restaurant.
- The Poolside Bar: So, yeah, I may have spent a little too much time here. The caipirinhas were lethal (in the best way possible), and the bartenders were genuinely fun to chat with. They even remembered my name after the first day. This is a big plus!
Cleanliness & Safety: Feeling Safe & Cared For
Look, I travel with a healthy dose of realism, no rose-tinted glasses!
- COVID-19 Precautions: Pedra Furada absolutely nailed the safety protocols. Everything felt clean, and I saw staff constantly sanitizing common areas. They'd removed shared stationery, had hand sanitizer everywhere, and the staff were well-trained. It was reassuring to know they were taking things seriously, and I felt safe.
Things to Do: Adventures & Downtime
Jericoacoara is magical.
- The Pool: the pool itself wasn't massive, but who needs a huge pool when you're a stone's throw from the ocean? The pool was beautiful with its view.
- Other Activities: They can arrange pretty much anything, from sandboarding to kitesurfing lessons.
The Little Quibble (Because I Have to Be Honest):
Okay, here's the one small thing that wasn't quite perfect. The Wi-Fi in my room, while seemingly reliable, did cut out occasionally during peak times. Not a major deal, because, hey, vacation! But it’s worth noting if you’re someone who needs to be connected 24/7.
Overall Verdict: Absolutely Worth It!
Pousada Pedra Furada is not just a hotel; it's an experience. It's the kind of place that gets under your skin and makes you want to stay forever. If you're looking for a beautiful, relaxing, and well-run place in Jericoacoara, book it. Right now. You won't regret it. My brain is still trying to process the happiness. Don't wait!
Antalya's Hidden Gem: Loft 1502 Awaits!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're not just planning a trip to Jericoacoara. We're living it. This is my highly-opinionated, beautifully-messed-up itinerary for Pousada Pedra Furada, Brazil. Consider yourselves warned – I'm gonna be raw, real, and probably covered in sand by the end of this.
Day 1: Arrival. Or, the Day My Luggage and I Got Acquainted With the Brazilian Sun.
- Morning (ish): Fly into… well, let's be honest, the closest damn airstrip we can find. Seriously, getting to Jeri is an adventure in itself. Embrace it! My flight was delayed, naturally. Ended up spending an extra hour watching a particularly intense argument between two Brazilians at the small airport. No idea what it was about, but their hand gestures were pure art. Emotional Reaction: Pure, simmering anxiety about missing my connection, which then devolved into a weird fascination with the local drama unfolding.
- Afternoon: The transfer! The fun part starts! The 4x4 "tuktuk" ride to Pousada Pedra Furada! It’s bumpy. Like, your kidneys will beg for mercy. My suitcase, bless its heart, went on its own little tour of the sand dunes, apparently. Quirky Observation: The driver had a playlist straight out of a 1980s action movie montage. I swear, I think I saw him wink at me.
- Late Afternoon: Arrival at the Pousada. Ahhh, Pedra Furada. It’s… charming. (That's code for "a little rough around the edges"). The room! It was fine. The air conditioning worked, thankfully. After getting out of the sandy situation and with the helpful staff, I feel comfortable enough to jump into the pool, and get to the restaurant for dinner. Opinionated Language: Don't expect pristine perfection. Embrace the laid-back vibe. This isn't the Ritz. More like… the "Ritz" as imagined by a surfer with a great sense of humor and a penchant for caipirinhas.
- Evening: Dinner at the pousada. (Probably). If I haven’t passed out from exhaustion. Then, cocktails! Caipirinhas, obviously. And probably a long, philosophical discussion with the bartender about the meaning of life, the universe, and why my suitcase hates me. Stream-of-Consciousness: Can I even swim with the beach bag in the pousada pool? Where the hell is my sunscreen? I'm already sunburnt!
Day 2: Dune Buggy Madness and the Perfect Sunset (hopefully).
- Morning: Breakfast. The buffet looked promising, but I'm still in the "avoid carbs at all costs" phase because I'm wearing sandals, and there’s no point in ruining this by gaining weight. The Pousada's breakfast is a great deal! I went for the scrambled eggs and the coffee.
- Mid-Morning: Dune buggy tour! This is the reason we're here, isn't it? Buckle up! The ride was incredible. This is the kind of thing where you're screaming with joy one minute, and silently praying to the gods of sand and safety the next. We saw lagoons, we saw palm trees, we saw… a lot of sand. My driver, bless his soul, spoke approximately zero words of English, but we somehow communicated through a combination of hand gestures, laughter, and the sheer exhilaration of bouncing over hills. Doubling Down on the Experience: I've never felt so ALIVE! The wind in my hair, the sun on my face, the constant threat of being thrown into the ocean… it's a rush! We went back to the hotel to rest before going again.
- Afternoon: Relaxing by the pool. I think I'll finally break out the novel I've been promising to read. Although, let's be honest, I'll probably just end up people-watching. Jeri is full of characters! Imperfection: I forgot to put on sunscreen. Again.
- Evening: Sunset at Duna do Pôr do Sol. THE sunset. Okay, maybe I've overhyped it, but seriously, it's supposed to be amazing. We climbed the dune, jostled for a good spot, and waited. And waited. And then… it happened. The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in a riot of orange, pink, and purple. Breathtaking. Emotional Reaction: For a few moments, I forgot about my sunburn, my missing suitcase, and the fact that I'm probably going to have sand in places I didn't even know existed. Those moments were pure bliss.
Day 3: Kitesurfing (or, the Day I Became More Intimate With the Sand than I Ever Thought Possible)
- Morning: More beach bumming. Breakfast at the Pousada, then lounging around trying to decipher Portuguese words!
- Mid-Morning: Kitesurfing lesson! I signed up. I was feeling bold. I was feeling adventurous. I was also feeling incredibly naive. Messier Structure: Turns out, kitesurfing is HARD. Like, really, really hard. More difficult than it looks! I spent most of the time face-planting into the ocean, swallowing salt water, and cursing the wind. Emotional Reaction: Initially, pure excitement. Then, abject humiliation. Followed by grudging respect for those who actually manage to stay upright.
- Afternoon: Recovering from kitesurfing. My muscles ache, my ego is bruised, and I'm pretty sure I have sand in my eyebrows. Time for a massage. Or, you know, a nap. Maybe both.
- Evening: Dinner at a local restaurant. There is a street full of fun restaurants. I went with the recommendation of the lady in the pool. This is the perfect place to check the menu; however, I will be returning to the hotel for a good sleep.
Day 4: The Journey back… (or, is it the beginning of a beautiful friendship?)
- Morning: Sadly, it's time to leave. Last breakfast at the Pousada. Last walk on the beach. Last attempt to find that perfect seashell.
- Afternoon: The bumpy transfer to the airport. This time, I'm prepared! I have a playlist of Brazilian music, a stash of snacks, and a healthy dose of acceptance that my luggage is probably still on its own little adventure.
- Late Afternoon/Evening: Home. (Or, well, wherever "home" is for you). Reflecting on the trip. I'm exhausted, sunburnt, and slightly traumatized by the kitesurfing, but also… so, SO happy. Jericoacoara is a place that gets under your skin. It's messy, imperfect, and utterly unforgettable.
- Final Thought: I’m already planning my return. Next time, I'm bringing more sunscreen… and maybe a wetsuit.
