Araujo Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"This was a charming choice for our friends trip to Paraty! The staff were friendly and helpful, with lots of suggestions for restaurants and activities. The common spaces were gorgeous and welcoming. The pool and sauna were lovely. Breakfast was healthy and fresh. The rooms were smaller but plenty of space for two girls and their luggage. The beds were slightly smaller than their American versions (we had two twin beds and they were narrow) but comfy and clean. AC worked great. We checked out at noon, but did not have our transfer picking us up until 4 PM and the hotel graciously let us continue to have access to the pool and the sauna which had showers so that we could be fresh for our flight."

"Our stay at Carpe Diem was awesome, the attention and service are top notch. I loved the space and calm atmosphere, it was my first time in Paraty and the location of the hotel is excellent! Thank you for the hospitality, next time in Paraty I’m staying with you again"

"Great place to stay with family. Wonderful breakfast. Good location near to restaurants, gas station, pharmacy and supermarket. "

"The rooms were very small. The salão de jogos looked nice but many of the games were broken. The gym equipment was below average quality. "
