Nice, but very basic hotel
Hotel Camburi Praia is a very basic hotel in a small, country village 2hrs south-west of Sao Paulo along the coast. I stayed there for a work engagement.
Camburi village is a typical of the area; rustic, weather-beaten, but welcoming enough. You should have some basic knowledge of portuguese though to get by.
Hotel Camburi Praia is just off the main street running through the village and about 150m from the beach. It's a very basic hotel (my room 34 was a bit dated, but comfortable enough). The service is very pleasant and it's not expensive to stay there.
WIFI is horribly unreliable & TV only shows local channels so come prepared with your own films pre-downloaded. I say this as I'm not sure how safe the village is at night (after 8pm) although the closest restaurants are most likely not an issue to walk to & from for dinner. The food & drinks on offer at the hotel are delicious - having both breakfast & dinner there was very enjoyable.
Overall, it was a nice stay, but I would not go back to Camburi again as it's too small & far away from Sao Paulo to justify the travel again unless i needed to for work.
