Fodor's Expert Review Vila Tamarindo Eco Lodge

A 10-minute stroll from Praia Campeche, Vila Tamarindo is a clean and tidy pousada with a manicured garden where kids can splash about in a fenced-off swimming pool. The 15 rooms, split across two blocks, are in excellent condition, with rustic, wood furniture and a small private balcony strung with a hammock in each. Expect the typical Brazilian feast of fruits, cakes, and cold cuts for breakfast. The only downside is the modern condominiums being built on three sides of the pousada, encroaching on what would otherwise be a tranquil spot.
