Canoa's only beachfront pousada (guesthouse) is welcoming and Dutch-run; it's an excellent choice. Cool, tasteful rooms are dotted around a garden of grass and flagstone pathways that slope down to the pool, a great sunbathing deck and the pousada's own barraca (beach bar-restaurant), which has cozy beach cushions.
Avoid room 5 which is dark and cavernous.
