Before you book
Do you collect guests from Ilhéus airport?

On WhatsApp. There are few tables: book ahead, especially if you are not staying.

A private balcony with a view, a queen size bed, air conditioning, a 42" Smart TV, a minibar, Wi-Fi, Avatim bath amenities, and breakfast included, served at Nibs.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation up to seven days before arrival. New Year’s Eve and Carnival bookings are non-refundable. Other public holidays may carry a fourteen-day deadline: reception will confirm the rule for your dates on WhatsApp.
Can children stay?
Yes, of any age. Children are charged from the age of five.
Can I bring my pet?
No. We do not take pets.
Is the hotel accessible for guests with reduced mobility?
No. Breakfast and the pool can only be reached by stairs, the bathrooms have no grab bars and the doors are narrow.
The hotel
Is there a chocolate hotel in Brazil?
Yes. Chocolate Hotel, in Itacaré on Bahia's Cocoa Coast: fourteen suites on a nine-thousand-square-metre property, on the high ground of an old cocoa farm.
Is Chocolate Hotel a hotel or a pousada?
A hotel, with fourteen suites in four categories and Nibs, a restaurant that also takes non-guests. Only the scale is that of a pousada: nine thousand square metres for few people, and breakfast comes to the table, à la carte.
Is Chocolate Hotel a themed hotel?
No. The name comes from the place: a former cocoa farm, on the Cocoa Coast. Cocoa appears in the names of the suites, in a dessert at Nibs and in the outings. There are no walls of chocolate.
The place and the view
Where is Chocolate Hotel?
On the high ground at the entrance to the village of Itacaré, facing the Atlantic and the mouth of the Contas River. 1.8 km from Concha Beach, a five-minute drive from the centre, seven from the surf beaches and about 70 km from Ilhéus airport.
What is the view like at Chocolate Hotel?
The whole coast: the line of beaches, the mouth of the Contas River and the forest behind. The lookout, at the top of the property, is for hotel guests and for diners with a table booked at Nibs.
The suites and the stay
Do the suites have a sea view?
Every suite has a balcony and a view; what changes is what it frames. The Torra suites open onto the bay, with the river mouth. The Tulha suites, in stone, have the sea through the trees. The Semente suites look onto the forest, with the sea through the leaves. The Grand Cru has a sitting room and a private garden in front, with the coast behind.
What time are check-in and check-out?
Check-in is from 2 pm and check-out is until noon.
How does check-in work?
You send your ID on WhatsApp before you arrive, and check-in is done by the time you walk in. The door code comes by message.
Do I need a car?
To get here, no: the transfer from Ilhéus is booked with your stay and waits in the arrivals hall. To get around, it helps. You cannot walk down to the village, the surf beaches are seven minutes away by car, and reception arranges transfers to the southern beaches and the waterfalls.
Is breakfast included?
It is, for every suite, served à la carte at Nibs. The house bakery sends out the croissant, the pão de queijo and the pastries of the day; tapioca, omelettes and scrambled eggs are on the card.
Nibs
Is the Nibs restaurant open to non-guests?
Yes. Guests and visitors, in the late afternoon and evening, from the aperitivo through dinner. Few tables and parking at the top; book ahead.
Can we celebrate an occasion at Nibs?
You can. Birthdays, anniversaries and proposals: we keep the table with the view, arrange the toast and look after the rest. Let us know when you book.
