6/10
Paraty Paradiso is nicely placed in a large green and flowery garden in the village of Paraty Mirim. The staff and owners are generally helpful. The place is an interesting mix between a resort and a hostel. In terms of layout, the garden and the units are resort-like (although the furbishing of the units is relatively simple). However, in terms of service and amenities the place is more like a hostel (which may be convenient, if you are prepared, and especially if you have access to bring your own food to cook). Contrary to the information on the Hotels.com site, there is no restaurant (although breakfast can be bought). There is a communal kitchen, however you would need to bring many of your own utensils. The village offers very limited options to buy food to cook, so be prepared to bring your own (easiest if you arrive in a car). The number of restaurants in the village is quite limited, especially for dinner. For lunch, the bars at the beach serve some meals. Also contributing to the hostel ambiance is the fact that change of towels or stocking up of toilet paper does not appear to be regular. During my three day stay I received a fresh towel and toilet paper when I asked for it, but there was no replacement in the unit in which I stayed. The owners were very helpful in extending a credit when my original booking had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. Then, when I had to leave early and tried to reach out to them to discuss a possible refund, I never received a reply.
