O hotel é bem localizado, no Porto da Barra, ponto turístico de Salvador. A equipe é bem prestativa, o café da manhã é bem variado e uma delícia, tendo até opções sem lactose. A piscina é grande, o quarto é otimo, limpo, chuveiro bom, tem água quente na pia, o serviço de quarto é rápido.

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!

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

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

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
