Pousada Ma-juli
Steps from the town square, minutes from the park
About this hotel
Pousada Ma-juli sits right in the centre of things, a two-minute walk from Matriz Square and its surrounding restaurants, bars and shops, while Thermas dos Laranjais itself is about a ten-minute drive away. Rooms are equipped with air conditioning, an LCD TV, minibar and private bathroom, with modern furnishings and proper bedding and bath towels rather than a bare-bones setup. The daily buffet breakfast, served in a dedicated breakfast room, includes fruits, breads, cakes and cold meats alongside hot and cold drinks, a solid start before a day at the park. For families who want evenings spent in Olímpia's town centre as much as days spent at the water park, this central location does double duty in a way that the closer-to-the-gates pousadas can't match.
- 2 min walk to Matriz Square
- 10 min drive to the park
- Free WiFi
- 24-hour front desk
Our take
This suits families who want to split their trip between the town centre and the water park, with easy evening access to restaurants around Matriz Square rather than eating at the property every night. Families prioritising a walkable route straight to Thermas dos Laranjais should look at pousadas closer to the gates instead, since this one trades that proximity for a livelier central location.
- ✓Book a taxi for the ten-minute ride to Thermas dos Laranjais rather than walking, since the park itself is not within walking distance from here.
- ✓Use the central location for an evening meal around Matriz Square after a day at the park, saving on transport compared to more remote pousadas.
- ✓Reserve early if arriving by bus, since the terminal is a short five-minute drive and this pousada suits car-free town-centre stays well.

Why guests love itStaying near Matriz Square meant our evenings felt like a real part of the trip, not just a place to sleep between park days. The ten-minute drive to Thermas dos Laranjais was easy enough with the kids, and having restaurants within walking distance for dinner saved us from another round of hotel-adjacent takeout every night of our five-day stay in Olímpia.
