Farol accomodation 4 stars

Travel Tip: Laguna

While the town of Laguna has some impressive architecture, it's accommodation infrastructure is somewhat lacking. The historic centre has virtually no decent accommodation to its name, while the nearby beach resort boasts plenty of high rise hotels but very little of any real charm. A far nicer... [more]

Laguna architecture 4 stars

Travel Tip: Laguna

Laguna is pretty much overlooked by foreign tourists visiting Rio, which seems a shame given that the town is home to some wonderful examples of colonial architecture. While the historic centre of the town could perhaps do with a bit of smartening up, it boasts street after street of brightly... [more]

In our search to find affordable city centre accomodation, we came across 'Hotel Branco' - a small whitewashed building on a colonial street.

Hotel Recanto - basic but clean and modern 3 stars

The port town of Laguna has little in the way of foreign tourism, and to me its historic city centre is missing an opportunity for attracting more. The centre has some great colonial buildings, but very little by the way of decent accomodation. You can store your luggage at the bus station for... [more]

Hotel Flipper 4 stars

Are, this was more like it. A quick taxi ride and we were in Mar Grosso - a pleasant beach with lots of hotels (mainly resort-style) and cheap places to eat. We were booked for a night at Flipper - a big hotel with pool, games room etc - great for kids. Our room was huge, with two single beds as... [more]
