Os funcionários são maravilhosos e prestativos, tudo que precisei resolveram na hora. Localidade excelente, tudo é perto, táxi e Uber de fácil acesso, local seguro, portaria e segurança 24h. Café da manhã ótimo, com variedade. A vista para o mar é fantástica do quarto e da piscina. Melhorias: os quartos com varanda deveriam ter mobília para que o hóspede pudesse sentar do lado de fora e aproveitar a área. Não encontrei nenhum lugar que tivesse água no lobby ou em outra área para os hóspedes. Água apenas comprada e de lata. Bar da piscina oferece uma variedade de drinks porém faltavam várias frutas qdo escolhíamos a bebida o que nos impediu de consumir mais, um dia pedimos água de coco e não tinha coco num hotel na BAHIA, outro dia não tinha manga para a caipirinha… A descarga do banheiro do quarto e de áreas comuns do hotel são péssimas, vc tem que ficar apertando um tempão para conseguir eliminar um xixi.

This hotel is old. The staff did not speak any english so we had to translate everything. The room had no view and that was one of the reasons we chose the hotel. The food was not great. They did not accommodate a request to change rooms. The room had a smell to it that we had to endure during the stay. I do not recommend this hotel if you want to have a great experience in Salvador.

Loved the breakfast and the hospitable staff. The location was perfect to access Carnival. Lots of security and felt safe. If you're a light sleeper, you'll hear Carnival music in your room until 6am daily. Lol.

I simpy love hotels that are situated right next to the sea. The views are spectacularly gorgeous. It has this haunting beauty that is timeless. The hotel staff are super friendly, notably Felipe. And this quiet place is just a short walk away from the busy Barra district, so you can pull away and relax whenever needed. I cannot recommend this hotel enough. Enjoy and relax.

We enjoyed our stay our stay at the hotel. It was clean and the staff did their best to communicate with our broken Portuguese. Breakfast and the buffet dinner offered a wide variety of food and all were delicious. If you need water, there is a small shop called Fatima’s that is 1/2 block from the hotel. We didn’t use the pool or the sun deck, but many people were. The hotel was perfect as our base for day trips. We would definitely stay there again.
