![]() ![]() Nowhere in Novo Airao has decent internet (I think the whole town has to wait for the correct cloud cover to be able to download anything) but you can attempt to connect your laptop in the little reception (good luck!). There is a reasonable sized, inviting pool, cleaned daily. As far as I know, the other pousadas in town are either up the main street (i.e, no river view) or along the river but near the (very noisy) generator. Everytime I've eaten there, the local igaunas turn up, enjoying a few mouthfuls of bread and helpfully posing for photos. And this is set out on a large, airy balcony overlooking the Rio Negro - a view I could gaze at all day. At the top of the list of things that bring me back to Pousada Bela Vista is the breakfast: a very satisfying spread of the typical foods (tapioca pancakes, fried bananas, scrambled eggs, cakes, local fruit and juices, bread, ham and cheese). ![]() In a very small town, many hours from Manaus, expecting consistent 5* service for a 2* to 3* price strikes me as a little unfair. BUT the rooms and bathrooms are clean, and the owner, receptionists, and most staff have been very friendly. I've found a minority of the staff to be a little vague or inattentive. To look at both sides of the matter, things that could be improved are the slightly dark, rather worn out, basic rooms, and ill-fitting sheets. I stay here every time my work takes me to Novo Airao, and think some reviews here are rather harsh: giving 3* is understandable but I'll err on the side of generosity. ![]()
