Unbelievable Vale Verde Coroa Vermelha: Porto Seguro's Hidden Paradise Revealed!
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving deep into Unbelievable Vale Verde Coroa Vermelha in Porto Seguro. Forget those glossy brochures, I'm here to give you the real skinny. And trust me, after spending a week there, I've got some thoughts.
Accessibility: Getting There and Around – Is it REALLY Hidden? (and Could Grandma Get There?)
Okay, "hidden paradise" is a slightly dramatic way to put it. Getting there isn't exactly rocket science. Airport transfer? Yep, they got it. Car park? Free, on-site, and even a charging station for the Tesla-toting eco-warriors. Bonus points! Access? Well…this is where things get a little wobbly. While they say they have "facilities for disabled guests", I'd recommend calling ahead and grilling them on specifics. "Accessible" can mean anything from a ramp to a prayer depending on the property. Public areas? Elevator? Seriously, ask. I saw one ramp, so that's a start…but don't bank on this being the most accessible place on earth. Getting in and out of the pool? Might be a challenge even for the slightly-less-than-agile.
Wheelchair accessible? I am not sure about that. Accessibility: 6/10.
Rooms and Amenities: The Good, the "Meh," and That Annoying Internet
Let's talk rooms. My room? Pretty darn comfy. Air conditioning – thank the heavens! It’s a tropical paradise, after all. Extra long bed? Check! Blackout curtains are a godsend for those late-night caipirinhas and lazy mornings, so I slept like a baby. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? YES! Internet access – LAN as well? Honestly, I didn't even THINK about going for LAN, but I'm a caveman when it comes to technology. But the Wi-Fi…it was a crapshoot. Sometimes blazing fast, sometimes dial-up slow. Seriously? In 2024? You are at paradise, okay, but I wanted to stream a movie and it took forever. So, embrace the digital detox, or pack your patience. Free bottled water was a nice touch, and the coffee/tea maker was a lifesaver for those early starts. The bathtub was big enough for a luxurious soak. Daily housekeeping? Yep, all spick and span. The linens were clean. I guess nothing to really complain about with the basics!
Rooms: 8/10.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Food, Glorious Food (and the Occasional Bellyache)
Right, let’s get to the important stuff: FOOD. Unbelievable Vale Verde Coroa Vermelha has a range of options. Restaurants? Plural! A la carte and buffet are on offer. Asian cuisine in restaurant? Well, I couldn't actually try it…but, hey, coffee/tea in restaurant was always welcome, alongside the buffet. Happy hour was a must-do, cocktails and sunset views, what more could you want. The poolside bar? Perfect for a pre-dinner snack or a late-night cap. The food itself was good. But the buffet itself…let's just say, my stomach and I had a few conversations (mostly in Portuguese) about cleanliness. Breakfast [buffet] had the usual suspects. The salad in restaurant was always fresh, but I had one questionable piece of lettuce. Vegetarian restaurant? Not specifically, but lots of vegetarian options available. Western cuisine? Yes, they got the basics. Also, they have bottle of water. The snack bar was my salvation. Dining: 7/10.
Ways to Relax: Spa, Sauna, and the Art of Doing Absolutely Nothing
Ah, the ways to relax. This is where Vale Verde shines. They have a Spa, and a Swimming pool [outdoor] which is absolutely beautiful. Sauna, Steamroom, Massage. The pool with view is the stuff Instagram dreams are made of. I didn't go for a Body scrub or Body wrap, too lazy for that. Gym/fitness? Yes, that's great. They have facilities to relax.
Relaxation: 9/10.
Cleanliness and Safety: Germs and Good Vibes
Listen, I'm a germaphobe. So, the Cleanliness and safety is a big deal for me. They had several things in place: Daily disinfection in common areas, Hand sanitizer everywhere, and Staff trained in safety protocol. Rooms sanitized between stays? Apparently. But I'm a worrier, so I always bring my own wipes. They also had Fire extinguisher, Smoke alarms, Security [24-hour], CCTV in common areas, CCTV outside property. It felt safe, which is a big positive. The Staff trained in safety protocol were incredibly helpful and friendly. I did not see any Professional-grade sanitizing services or Sterilizing equipment, but I didn't really need any, since everything was at least okay.
Cleanliness and Safety: 8/10.
For the Kids: Family Fun or Family Nightmare?
Family/child friendly? Well, they do have Kids facilities and a Babysitting service. So, the answer is maybe.
Services and Conveniences: Perks and Quirks
I'll keep this brief. They have Concierge, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Elevator, Dry cleaning, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Shine, Ironing service, Medical staff on call. The Convenience store was pretty convenient. I did not see any Cash withdrawal, but there are plenty of ATMs in Porto Seguro. Contactless check-in/out? I didn't care much. Services and Conveniences: 7/10.
Getting Around: Airport Transfers and All That Jazz
Airport transfer? Absolutely! Car park [free of charge]? Bonus. Taxi service? Yes. Valet parking? They have it, for the fancy people. Getting Around: 9/10.
Overall Impression and My Unsolicited Recommendation:
Unbelievable Vale Verde Coroa Vermelha? It's not unbelievable, but it's good. It depends your expectation. But, if you're looking for a relaxing escape with beautiful views, good food, and a decent dose of pampering? Go for it. Just remember to ask SPECIFIC questions about accessibility if that's a concern. Pack your patience for the Wi-Fi, and embrace the imperfection. It's part of the charm! And the sunsets? They're truly something special.
Final Score: 8/10 (allowing for some wiggle room!)

Adina Canberra: Canberra's Hottest Hotel? You Won't Believe This!
Alright, alright, buckle up buttercups, 'cause we're about to dive headfirst into my utterly chaotic and probably slightly disastrous (but hopefully amazing!) trip to Vale Verde Coroa Vermelha in Porto Seguro, Brazil. Prepare for emotional whiplash, because that's just how I roll.
Vale Verde & Coroa Vermelha: A Hot Mess Itinerary (and My Personal Therapy Session)
Day 1: Arrival and That Initial "WOAH" Moment of Panic
- Morning (or what passes for morning after a red-eye): Touchdown in Porto Seguro! Airport chaos. Never underestimate the power of a thousand Brazilians trying to grab a taxi at once. Found my transfer (eventually – Google Translate is my new best friend). The drive? Lush. Seriously, the green… it was like my eyeballs were getting a spa day. But also? Slightly terrified. I'm traveling solo, speaking about three words of Portuguese, and my internal monologue is currently screaming, "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"
- Afternoon: Arrived at the Pousada. Charming, right? Wrong. The air conditioning was having a full-blown existential crisis. My room? Smaller than my shoebox apartment back home. Initially, pure panic. Then, I sat on the balcony with a caipirinha (that surprisingly, I managed to order correctly!) and took a deep breath. The view? Unbelievable. Palm trees swaying, the turquoise ocean shimmering… Okay, I think I can handle this.
- Evening: Attempted to find dinner. Wandered along the beach, got hopelessly lost, and ended up eating a plate of grilled fish that was somehow both amazing and slightly terrifying (what was that sauce?!). Met a local, a surfer dude named Roberto, who kept trying to teach me to dance. My rhythm? A disaster. But he laughed, I laughed, and suddenly, Brazil started to feel… less intimidating. I will never forget the sheer effort of Roberto trying to teach me to boogie. Absolute GOLD.
Day 2: Coroa Vermelha Beach - And An Obsession is Born
- Morning: Coroa Vermelha Beach. I'd heard about it. Pictures? Pretty. Reality? MIND-BLOWING. Okay, I'm officially in love. The sand is like powdered sugar, the water is so clear you can practically see the fish flirting with each other. I spent hours just floating, letting the sun bake me like a delicious, slightly sunburned, coconut. This is where the trip took a turn. I wasn't just enjoying it, I became OBSESSED. I decided I would become one with the beach.
- Afternoon: Snorkeling! Saw a ridiculous number of fish, including one that looked suspiciously like it was judging my flailing fins. The coral was vibrant, the water crystal clear. The boat operator was wearing a tiny speedo. My inner "whoa" level was going through the roof, and the thought of a nice cold beer got me through the afternoon.
- Evening: Dinner at a beach shack. Fresh seafood, more caipirinhas, and the sound of crashing waves in the background. Seriously, I felt like I'd stumbled into a travel brochure. It was all incredibly picturesque.
Day 3: Delving Deeper (and Questioning My Sanity)
- Morning: Tried to rent a car. My Portuguese is… well, let's just say it's a work in progress. The rental guy looked at me like I was from another planet. Eventually, I managed to snag a tiny buggy-thing. Confidence: high. Driving skills: questionable.
- Afternoon: Explored the nearby village of Santa Cruz Cabrália. Colorful houses, cobbled streets, a general air of "relaxed chaos". Popped into a tiny shop and bought a hat that's about three sizes too big. Why? Because Brazil. Met an old woman who made the most incredible pastel – so simple, but the flavors… WOW. I also almost got run over by a scooter. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.
- Evening: Back to the beach. Because, beach. This time, I brought a book (that I didn't read because I was too busy watching the sunset and thinking about how I'd never want to leave.)
Day 4: The Coroa Vermelha Takeover!
- Morning: Okay, so I've officially lost it. I spent the entire morning on Coroa Vermelha. I woke up determined to spend as much time there as possible. I tried to learn to surf (epic fail). I built the world's worst sandcastle. I talked to the crabs. I might have even hugged a palm tree. (Don't judge me!) This beach has become my sanctuary and the only thing I care about.
- Afternoon: Tried to get a massage on the beach. The masseuse was amazing. The sun was beating down. I think I drooled. I've never been more relaxed in all my life. I swear, I could hear the ocean whispering sweet nothings into my ear. I was in a blissful haze.
- Evening: Dinner on the beach, again. This time though, more determined. I sat on a little stool, just staring out into the ocean. It's moments like these, right? That you just know you're where you need to be.
- Night: Stargazing. The sky was a canvas of a million diamonds. Felt incredibly small. Felt incredibly grateful.
Day 5: Say Goodbye (or Not…?)
- Morning: Wake up. Another glorious morning. I'm officially NOT ready to leave. I spent the morning trying to burn this place into my memory. Every crack in the sand, the specific way the sun hits the water… The ocean's embrace, the warmth, the sheer beauty. I think I've found my new happy place.
- Afternoon: The flight. The dreaded airport run. Tears were shed. Okay, maybe more than tears. There was a full-blown emotional breakdown at the gate. I'm convinced I left a piece of my heart in that sand.
- Evening: Back home. Jet lag. A mountain of laundry. The feeling of being completely, irrevocably changed. Already planning my return.
The Messy Truth:
- The Language Barrier: Painful. Hilarious. Humbling. Constant. Google Translate became my best friend, enemy, and reluctant translator.
- The Food: Delicious. Spicy. Unpredictable. My stomach is still recovering.
- The Locals: Warm. Welcoming. Patient with my utter incompetence. They made the trip.
- The Emotions: A rollercoaster. Pure bliss. Utter panic. Profound peace. I'm more in love with the world than ever before.
- The Verdict: Go. Just go. Don't think. Just pack your bags and get yourself to Vale Verde Coroa Vermelha. You won't regret it. And if you see a crazed woman hugging a palm tree, well, that's probably me.
