Wonderful structure, maintaining the Paraty style.<br>Still under construction, but the chalet structure is very nice.
Everything's great!<br>Only the cobblestone paths make mobility and movement difficult.<br><br>I recommend going with a backpack. Wheeled suitcases have to be carried.
Beautiful and pleasant
The experience was very good.
Different from the Sesc standard we're used to, perhaps because it's a unit that recently opened.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐<br>My wife, my 9-year-old daughter, and I loved our stay at Sesc! We found everything excellent.<br>Dorms: very good, cozy, and spacious. The only tip is to bring insect repellent, as there are quite a few mosquitoes in the area.<br>Meals: the breakfast is complete, with delicious breads, cold cuts, fruits, and sweets. In addition, there is a mini-market at reception where you can buy items to stock the refrigerator available in the dormitories.<br>Atmosphere: welcoming, comfortable, and very well maintained. The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The place has a games room, relaxation areas, a swimming pool (not heated), a sauna, a gym, free parking, and a reception area.<br>We had a wonderful experience and recommend Sesc without a doubt!<br>Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great space, pleasant atmosphere, and well located in the historic center of Paraty. Discounted food for SESC members.
Yesterday I visited an exhibition called Ara das Pedras.<br>Impeccable quality and it was great to learn a little more about the indigenous culture of Paraty.<br>The staff were always attentive, I didn't get to visit the café. But I'd like to come back another time.
Very cozy guesthouse near the historic center.
It's still somewhat rudimentary. It's far from SESC standards.
Very comfortable facilities and excellent breakfast.
Overall, I had a positive experience at Sesc Paraty and really liked the location. The proximity to the historic center is a major plus, as it's possible to take many walks and enjoy the city without needing a car.<br><br>However, some points caught my attention, especially considering the price of the accommodation and the fact that the unit was recently opened.<br><br>Check-in and check-out times: The 3 PM check-in time is quite late and considerably reduces the time available for guests to use the accommodation. The 12 PM check-out could also be more flexible, especially considering that guests can only check in at 3 PM.<br><br>Breakfast and meals: The breakfast seemed quite simple, offering only the basics. Interestingly, on the last day of my stay, there was a Band TV crew on site, and I noticed a much more elaborate presentation of the breakfast, which highlighted the possibility of offering a better experience.<br><br>Another important point is the lack of lunch, dinner, or a cafeteria operating within the hotel itself. Since it's a Sesc unit, I expected to find a more complete food service structure.<br><br>During our stay, we had to leave the hotel practically every time we wanted to have a meal.<br><br>The mini-market could also be better structured. The variety of products is quite limited, basically consisting of water, soft drinks, beer, and a few other items.<br><br>Structure, maintenance, and technology. This was, for me, the point that most needs attention.<br><br>Although the hotel was recently opened, some areas give the impression of an old and poorly renovated structure.<br><br>The room had a musty smell, and the cleaning could be much more thorough. The bathroom, for example, has flooring and elements with a very old appearance, as well as rusty accessories, such as the soap holder, something I consider incompatible with a newly opened hotel.<br><br>I also had problems with the air conditioning. The equipment appears to be old and is installed in a rather inefficient position, on the wall near the bathroom. With this, the air conditioning takes a long time to reach the bed area and properly cool the room. To maintain a comfortable environment, it was necessary to leave the unit running practically all the time.<br><br>The internet also left much to be desired. The connection frequently dropped, which significantly hampered the experience, especially for those who need to use the internet during their stay.<br><br>The television also presented instability. The TV app worked irregularly, requiring me to try again at times, which ends up being frustrating for those who expect to use the service normally.<br><br>Despite the positive points and my enjoyment of the stay, I believe the cost-benefit ratio needs to be reviewed.<br><br>There are several nearby guesthouses offering similar prices, but with more leisure options, food, and other benefits included in the accommodation.<br><br>Precisely because it is a Sesc unit and because it has a proposal that, in my expectation, would be associated with a differentiated structure, I believe there was a higher expectation regarding the upkeep, food, and services offered.<br><br>Finally, I liked the location, the concept, and overall, I had a good experience in Paraty. The staff were very polite and always willing to help.<br><br>However, I believe some points need attention so that the accommodation truly delivers the level of quality expected for the price charged.<br><br>Mainly: room and bathroom maintenance, cleanliness, air conditioning, internet quality, television functionality, breakfast variety, food options within the unit, and the mini-market's facilities.<br><br>I hope this review is received as constructive criticism, as I believe that Sesc Paraty has considerable potential and could provide an even better experience for guests.
A place to visit in the city, with exhibitions. Definitely worth checking out! The current exhibition: Ring of Stones. Free admission.
Breakfast was quite decent, but the rooms weren't cleaned at all. They have a system of leaving a sign on the door both to clean (which seems obvious) and to not disturb (???), yet the supposed cleaning consists of folding the blankets and putting on clean towels. I believe the bathroom has never seen bleach; on the day we arrived, we found food scraps from the previous guest. In short, the landscaping is beautiful, but they confused the concept of rustic with dirt and lack of cleanliness... a shame. For the price of the daily rate and the Sesc brand, the accommodation experience could be better. Oh, and there's a step between the room and the bathroom, without any signage, and the bathroom door doesn't close properly... quite regrettable...
Simply a wonderful place! 😍<br>Clean, quiet, and inviting environment!<br><br>Very pleasant and beautiful ♥️<br>Congratulations to everyone at Sesc Paraty 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Since it was a bed and breakfast, I missed having a kitchen for lunch and dinner à la carte.<br><br>The room lacked instructions and a Wi-Fi password.<br><br>The soap dish was rusty.
