"A Praia é simplesmente linda! Cuidado ao visitar a CABANA FALÉSIA. Fui extemamente mal atendido! O garçom CAIO, além de ser usuário de drogas, é extremamente mal-educado e a sua família será atendida por ele sem camisa. Tive pertences subtraído por ele, a única pessoa perto. Virá cheio de conversa e te levará para uns bangalôs ao fundo e lá tentará de estorquir e coagi-lo a almoçar ou petiscar na CABANA FALÉSIA. Caso você não consuma será obrigado a se retirar do local. Prefira a Barraca da CVC para proteger sua Esposa e filhos. Se for solteiro não terá grandes problemas. O estacionamento fica bem longe da CABANA FALÉSIA, não é nada do que está na foto, bem inferior, e é cobrado 10 Reais. O estacionamento da CVC é arborizado e o seu carro fica perto de você e também será cobrado 10 Reais. Não corra riscos! Se for possível, leve guarda-sol, isopor com bebida e cadeira. Por baixo você economizará 100 Reais.
The Beach is simply beautiful! Beware when visiting a FALSE HUT. I was extremly poorly attended! The waiter CAIO, besides being a drug user, is extremely rude and his family will be taken care of by him without a shirt. I had belongings subtracted by him, a single person nearby. You are invited to talk and talk about the bungalows in the background and the efforts to extend and coerce him a lunch or snack in the FALSE HUT. In case you do not consume to be forced to leave the place. Choose a CVC Tent to protect your Wife and children. If for days do not go big problems. The route is far from the FALSE COAST, it is nothing that is in the picture, much lower, and is charged 10 Reais. The CVC parking lot is wooded and your truck is close to you and you will also be charged 10 Reais. Do not take risks! If possible, take umbrella, styrofoam with drink and chair. Underneath you will go up to 100 reais.
La playa es simplemente hermosa! Cuidado al visitar una CABANA FALSIA. ¡Fui extemamente mal atendido! El camarero CAIO, además de ser usuario de drogas, es extremadamente maleducado y su familia será atendida por él sin camisa. Tuve pertenencias sustraídas por él, una sola persona cerca. Usted está invitado a conversar y charlar sobre los bungalows al fondo y los esfuerzos para extender y coaccionar un almuerzo o un aperitivo en la CABANA FALSIA. En caso de que usted no consuma ser obligado a retirarse del local. Prefiera una Barra de CVC para proteger a su Esposa e hijos. Si para los días no van grandes problemas. El trayecto está muy lejos de la CABANA FALSEIA, no es nada que está en la foto, muy inferior, y se le cobra 10 Reais. El estacionamiento de la CVC es arbolado y su camioneta está cerca de usted y también será cobrado 10 Reais. ¡No corra riesgos! Si es posible, lleve sombrilla, isopor con bebida y silla. Por debajo te alta 100 reales.
Der Strand ist einfach wunderschön! Vorsicht beim Besuch einer FALSCHEN HÜTTE. Ich war extrem schlecht besucht! Der Kellner CAIO ist, abgesehen davon, dass er Drogenkonsument ist, extrem unhöflich und seine Familie wird ohne Hemd von ihm versorgt. Ich hatte Habseligkeiten von ihm abgezogen, eine einzelne Person in der Nähe. Sie sind eingeladen, über die Bungalows im Hintergrund zu sprechen und über die Anstrengungen zu sprechen, ihn zu einem Mittagessen oder Snack in der FALSCHEN HÜTTE zu erziehen. Falls Sie nicht konsumieren, um gezwungen zu sein, den Ort zu verlassen. Wählen Sie ein CVC-Zelt, um Ihre Frau und Ihre Kinder zu schützen. Wenn für Tage keine großen Probleme gehen. Die Route ist weit weg von der FALSCHEN KÜSTE, es ist nichts, was auf dem Bild ist, viel niedriger, und ist geladen 10 Reais. Der CVC-Parkplatz ist bewaldet und Ihr LKW ist in Ihrer Nähe und Sie werden auch 10 Reais bezahlen. Keine Risiken eingehen! Wenn möglich, nehmen Sie Regenschirm, Styropor mit Getränk und Stuhl. Darunter werden Sie bis zu 100 Reais gehen."
