B Blue Beachouses

A nice a relaxed place to chill out.

We had a wonderful stay at B Blue Beachhouses in early August for 3 days. I travelled there with my spouse and two children (both age 12). Beachhouse: It was very spacious and beautiful, with 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. There is a third bedroom as well that they only open up if you have 5 or 6 people staying there. There is a rooftop hot tub that you have to fill yourself, along with an outdoor shower. I think the hot tub would be wonderful in warmer weather, but as it was windy and cooler in the winter, and since there is no heater in the hot tub, I found that the water cooled too quickly for my preference. But my spouse and kids enjoyed it anyway! The kitchen was great so that you can cook meals if you wish. There is a large deck with a table and chairs for eating meals that we loved. Grounds: Beautiful with 2 swimming pools (though the water was cold - may not be an issue in the hot summer), beach volleyball court, hammocks, and entrance to a beautiful beach. There is also a gym in the main building with a nice view of the resort towards the beach. The equipment was not all that great, but it was fine given we were on vacation! Beach: Amazing. It was always empty when we were there. At low tide natural pools formed, which were warm and wonderful for swimming. We loved walking along the beach at both low and high tide, though high tide was too rough for swimming and the hotel also advised avoiding the water at high tide. Location: The location was very scenic BUT there was nothing nearby within walking distance. We did not have a rental car, and had a hard time finding an Uber to take us anywhere. We finally realized that if we used the 'schedule in advance' Uber feature, we would be able to get a car. Praia do Forte was about a 20 minute drive away and the nearest grocery store about 10 minutes. Because of the location, we had to make more meals than we would have liked because there were no restaurants nearby. Breakfast: Provided by the hotel, and each day you decide what you want for the next day. There were some pretty good options and everything was tasty. We're vegetarian so had fewer options, but it was still great. The fruit was delicious! The milk for the coffee was made from powdered milk, so we just used our own milk. Staff: Everyone was very nice. No one spoke English and we do not speak much Portuguese, so communication was difficult but it was a fun challenge trying to communicate and helped me pick up more Portuguese! We were able to communicate more easily using google translate and typing in Whatsapp for things that were more complicated (for example, our sink broke one day and we needed it fixed). Overall, we enjoyed our stay - it was very relaxing and off the beaten path as everyone staying there was Brazilian except for us. I would recommend renting a car if you visit to make it easier to go off the resort.
