We stayed at Rancho do Buna for 2 nights and really enjoyed our stay. The manager Monica was incredibly friendly and helpful, helped us organize our trip and even found us a last-minute hostel in Sao Luis. The rooms are very basic, but cosy. There is no hot water! Breakfast was delicious, with lots of different fruits, scrambled eggs, cereals... More

This pousada is a wonderful place to stay. It is a masterpiece made by Mr. Buna who built it just with palm trunks and palm leaves. It is located in a luxuriant park of tropical trees and green gras, with colourful peacocks flying around the blue swimming pool. Each room is a separated hut, furnished in style with its own...

2 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 May 2012

Gives good access to the small Lencois and near-by attractions. Animals wander throughout the hotel's grounds leaving their traces. Ageing post-hippy atmosphere, with a touch of the farmyard.. Dinner is very poor, breakfast acceptable. Rooms are airless, window-less with primitive bathrooms and inadequate air-conditioning. This is a place for roughing it at luxury prices.

This resort isn't actually in Barreirinhas, it's in Atins, a small fishermen village. It's a very unique hotel, because Atins is not well served of Internet and phone, so it might or not work. The owner, Buna, is a very special person, who was born on that area, and love to tell his stories. Monica, his manager, used to live... More

This small hotel is Atins, a village of Barreirinhas-Maranhão. The place is very beautiful, but the hostel is far away, the heat is terrible (35º C) and there are many mosquitoes, the rooms are not very clean and has no air conditioning. He was offered a small desk fan that did not work right.

Four nights in Pousada Rancho do Buma gave us memories that will warm us up in the cold Swedish winter. Atins is a great place if you want to see the stunning sand dunes in Lençois Maranhenses, we would say that it's much better than Barreirinhas, which isn't a very charming place. It takes one hour to get there from... 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
