Maraca Up
Colourful budget dorms with a pool and bar
About this hotel
Maraca Up combines a genuinely budget-friendly rate with an outdoor pool, free breakfast and a bar, a more complete package than the price alone might suggest. The colourful rooms and dorms suit a family or group happy with a relaxed, laid-back atmosphere rather than a formal hotel setting, and pet-friendly status extends the option to those travelling with a dog. An 8.6 rating from nearly a thousand reviews reflects consistent guest satisfaction at real scale, making this a dependable budget choice for a Piscinão de Ramos trip. The bar on site adds a social element that suits a group or family happy with a relaxed, communal atmosphere rather than a quiet, private hotel stay.

Our take
This suits a budget-conscious family or group comfortable with a relaxed, hostel-style atmosphere and happy to have a pool and breakfast included without four-star polish. It's a less obvious fit for anyone wanting a quiet, formal hotel setting. Book it for a relaxed, social atmosphere alongside genuine value, especially for a group happy to share communal spaces like the pool and bar.
- ✓Use the outdoor pool between sightseeing days to make the most of the included amenity.
- ✓Eat the free breakfast before an early Piscinão de Ramos departure.
- ✓Confirm pet policy details directly if travelling with a dog, since dorm-style stays can vary.

- Pet-friendly status
- Colourful, relaxed atmosphere
Why guests love itThe colourful, relaxed feel here suited our group far better than a formal hotel would have, and the outdoor pool got used every single afternoon between our sightseeing plans. Free breakfast meant one less cost to track across a longer stay, and bringing the dog along was never an issue once we'd confirmed the pet policy ahead of time. Piscinão de Ramos itself took a proper trip across the city, but the pool back at the hostel more than filled the gap on other days.
