It was a nice hotel that was on the beach. The swimming pool and its bar/restaurant was nice. The room was okay but had balcony view of the pool.

Pleasant stay but the property is older and could
It was a good experience but the hotel is a bit old and dated. The location was good but that part of the beach gets very crowded. The beach was better further up.

Would strongly recommend this place!
I had a great time this hotel. The staff was super friendly and helpful. As an American, most people did not speak English, but I was still able to get everything I needed. Great location (across from the beach) and next to the square. And the free breakfast wasn’t bad either!

Excellent location. Wonderful hotel. Lovely pool area. Iconic Beach just steps away. (Possibly the best beach in the city. Lovely stores and restaurants everywhere.)

The location is perfect. But the beach is extremely crowded. Very dirty sand with trash and lots of people drinking and smoking.

Great customer service at the front desk and at the housekeeping
The hotel is very convenient and right on the Barra beach next to the lighthouse. Busy during the weekend right at the heart of the activities
It is a bit dated and needs some repair and maintenance to make it prettier but everything works
The restaurant food is good. There were things u can order separately from the buffet which is local dishes. Could have been told about it. Found out on the last day
One thing I would warn is the tour agent in the hotel. She will tell you it is an English tour. And yes the tour guide does speak English but do not provide all the details that he provided to the Portuguese speakers. Abit disappointed by that
There is a money exchanger across the road next to the ice cream shop. It is hidden behind a glass wall which is for safety. Better rates there for dollars
Generally love the hotel and the location. And the staff are great and the palce is clean. The pool is also a great touch

Hotel caro e ruim
Infelizmente tive uma experiência ruim. Os quartos são péssimos. Na primeira noite acordamos com uma baratinha no travesseiro! Situação nojenta e depois percebemos outra barata perto da porta, pedimos para trocar de quarto e nos mudaram para um conjugado. Na madrugada os hóspedes do quarto conjugado ao nosso chegaram fazendo muito barulho. A ponto de eu interfonar na recepção.A outra reclamação é que não tem água quente no banheiro! E cada funcionário deu uma desculpa diferente para isso.
De bom só a localização e o café da manhã.

Perfeito para nós
Ficamos duas diárias. Gostamos bastante. A localização não poderia ser melhor para nós, na beira da praia da Barra e perto de vários bares e restaurantes. O quarto com três camas de solteiro era amplo e confortável e ainda tinha uma sacadinha onde dava para ver o mar. O banheiro era igualmente grande. O café da manhã tinha muitas opções. Também aproveitamos a piscina aquecida no final do dia.
