We stayed two nights at Rancho Pousada in late February 2013 and only wished we could stay longer. The pousada is run by a Brazilian woman by the name of Monica who not only spoke excellent English but was also very friendly and helpful. Accommodation is in individual chalets dotted around the property and ours was enormous with a double... More

This is not the place to go for partying or getting drunk. But if you want an ideal, eco-friendly resort of great beauty on the edge of the Lençois, the Rancho has no equal. On the main strip of Atins, there are some functional pousadas, very friendly, with basic amenities. They are a few reals cheaper than Rancho and closer... More

We stayed in Atins after a one week tour around North East. Perfect place to rest: it is in the middle of nowhere (coming with the boat from Cabure’ you have to ask purposely to stop there), the only noise you hear is the one of all the animals who live there in the courtyard. Breakfast is really rich and... More

Atins is a great starting point to visit the Lençóis Maranhenses and the Rancho do Buna is the perfect spot. It feels like the middle of nowhere, it has basic rooms but the service is amazing. Monica speaks a very good English (uncommon in Northeast Brazil even in tourist areas) and is always ready to help you with reservation or... More

The Rancho Pousada do Buna in Atins is perfectly located to visit the National Park of the Lencois Maranhenses. The owners - Buna and Monica - are extremely nice and helpful in organizing trips to the park and to/from San Luis.

I do not recommend Rancho Pousada do Buna. Although the employees were nice, the owners (Buna and Monica) were extremely unfriendly and unpolite. The rooms and the decoration are original, the food is okay, but the pousada is isolated and the only means of transportation are the pickups owned by Buna, which are very expensive. If I would go back... More

The location of Rancho do Buna is ideal nearby the lencois. All the surroundings are incredible. The hotel has some good infrastructure with a pool, a nice sala. However, the night is a part of nightmare with mosquito fights (bed protection against mosquito is inefficient, moreover all the roosters will give the rythm all the night long...), For food quality...

If you do a trip overnight from Barreirinhas you will probably stay in Cabure. If you get the chance ask to stay in Atins and stay here. Much nicer in my opinion! The place has a swimming pool and you get a separate cabin as a room. The rooms are fine but basic, bathroom is very big. The main area... More
