The Pousada do Santinho is situated just 600 metres away from the Santinho Beach, one of the finest beaches in Brazil, and at the same distance from one the most famous resorts in... more...the country (Costão do Santinho).
Advantages: Good location. Clean. Disadvantages: Need to take a course in customer service
I was very excited to go to this Pousada as we had planned this for a long time as there is so much in the surrounding area to see.
On arrival we found parking to be a problem and almost none existent. We had to park down the road and carry our own luggage to reception.
At reception, although friendly, we had to wait a while to be attended to.
The rooms were clean and although small, were adequate. The bathrooms have been modernized, however grouting and tiling not done very well. Beds comfortable.
Breakfast was included and a large variety of breads, cheeses etc available. However, the service was appalling. It was self service however one had to request certain items such as coffee etc from the waiters. Again, trying to attract the attention of the waiters took time. When we were served coffee it was like dishwater ...
Advantages: Sound quality Disadvantages: Price compared to lesser rivals
like the clear look of the display which simply tells you which input you are playing and the station if you are playing DAB. Everything is set out well and looks the usual Denon part. It looks a very smart system overall.
**The Sound**

Given the small stature of the box and the speakers you will not get seismic bass but the bass you do get is very good and very taut. The treble conveys vocals and instruments well and the overall sound integrates together very well indeed. Although I have this system as a second system in my bedroom it's more than capable of being your main setup if size really is at a premium. A very good sound indeed. Upgrade the speakers and you could get even more but choose the speakers ...
Advantages: Modern and clean Disadvantages: I do not know
Florianopolis is a modern city with nice beaches. You can also visit the town around Praca 15 de Novembro. During Brazilian summer, it can be a bit expensive to find accommodation. The area around Rua Consilheiro Mafra has a few of cheap places. For the food you can try ?Macarronada Italiana? for Italain food in Avenida Rubens de Arruda Ramos. Many people stop only at Florianopolis and then go to Ilha de Santa Catarina. This is an even better places to go to the beach. A very famous beach is Praia dos Ingleses, on the East Coast. If you have the time, I also recommend you go to Blumenau, which looks more Germany than Brazil to me! ...
