10 Top-Rated Hotels in Porto de Galinhas, Ipojuca, State of Pernambuco
An hour or two south of Recife, Porto de Galinhas was made for the not-so-extreme tourist. Raves one traveler, "It's what it doesn't have that makes it great:" no heavy traffic, no nightlife to speak of. Explore the natural tidal pools that form in the reef, feeding fish that swim all around you; or ride a dune buggy to romantic Muro Alto beach. Or skip all that and doze in a hammock by the warm, green, clear Atlantic.

The Unvarnished (Restaurant) Truth...
Reviewed By R NThis review is written in English to assure that I am clear with North American visitors, who may have little recourse after a bad experience (or may be reluctant or unable to complain in Portuguese). We have an apartment about two blocks away and visited the first time about a week ago. The food was good, the service decent and we were anxious to go back, which we did this evening. Yes, it is Christmas evening, but this is not a big deal in Brazil. In a restaurant, open to the public, with seating for about 75 - 80, there was only one other couple, when our party of 5 entered. There appeared to be only one server on duty. We had to get up and find the server to: - order beverages - order an appatizer - check on the status of the drinks after 25 minutes - return one of the drinks because it was not just warm, but hot - check on the status of the appetizer after 20 minutes - seek assistance with one order that was short 2 side orders listed on the menu when the food finally came, about 40 minutes after ordering. - ask for the bill The food was OK, but I suspect most Brazilians would have left - our kids were tired and hungry, and we opted to tough it out. I've lived in, worked in and visited Brazil for almost 20 years and have been to innumerable restaurants. This was absolutely the worst service experience I've had. We declined paying the pre-billed service charge on the bill. I am sure, from the reviews and the crowds I see at the pousada, that it is a great place, but tonight had the rest of my family reminding me to get on Trip Advisor as soon we hit the door. I've written other reviews (2 or 3 maybe) and I have tried to be fair, as I have tried to be this evening - I have no axe to grind. I would urge potential customers to take a look around for other options in the neighborhood before risking your time, money and patience at the Ecoporto restaurant.

More than perfect for a family with kids!
Reviewed By SoliloquiesThe hotel has a good size. It is not a huge resort that feels crowded all the time but has enough structure to keep you and your family entertained. It has very good swimming pools with warm water that gives you a perfect relaxing feeling. The beach in front of hotel is amazing. There is a huge natural barrier that protects the beach from the waves, gives you a huge natural pool of calm warm waters, filled with all kinds of crabs, mussels and small fishes. It is like swimming in a warm aquarium. Amazing experience!

The best of Porto de Galinhas
Reviewed By MichelliLopesGWow what a trip! Thanks for this amazing resort. The staff is extremely friendly,helpful and will do everything for you to feel comfortable at your staying. We arrived on Monday and our superluxo room (definitely recommended) was at the first floor right next to the pool area, however we wanted something more private, we call the front desk - spoke with Vitor who was amazing and is also bilingual - he immediately got what we were looking for and did not hesitate to relocate us. Together with coordinator - Chacon (if you have any issues or questions - this is your guy) we got relocated right the way. Servers Danilo and Angelo at the restaurant were making sure that we had a five stars service. Breakfast, lunch and dinner is a plus, delicious Brazilian cuisine, huge variety. It’s just amazing!
