This hotel was on my bucket list so you can only imagine my disappointment, where to begin?! As soon as we arrived we walked up a pathway with grass onto the entrance of the hotel, there was what looks like a coffee table for check-in, since we had to pay the other half at the hotel at the property we gave the same card we used first hand for the first part and it didn’t go through instead of them finding a solution they gave me no other choice then to use a different card. The room was very clean 🙌 internet didn’t work in our room the light of the hot tub wasn’t working. We stayed at the Ezzenza Dune which gave us free pass to the Ezzenza praia hotel facilities (pool,sauna and beach front service.) wish we had spent a little more money to have booked our room there. We booked the Dune because it’s further away from where all the nightlife happens so we can get nice nights of sleep, didn’t happen as we got woken up two nights in a row with guests from next door at around 2 am with music and swimming in the balcony. So my advice to you is, if you’re going to be spending money might as well stay at the Ezzenza Beach front. Other than that fell in love with this little town Jericoacoara, will for sure be going back but not to this property.

This is a beautiful property. I truly enjoyed my stay. Sadly the golf carts were only operational the first night. We had to walk into town the rest of our stay but the town is less than a 5 min walk so just having to be mindful of the motorbikes and dune buggies. Breakfast was delicious and you could even order breakfast to be delivered and enjoyed in your pool. It truly was an oasis.

RAZOÁVEL

Hotel não condiz com o preço e com a classificação. Cheguei e fui recebido com uma barata em cima do sofá. As toalhas e roupas de cama são finas, sem qualidade. A piscina não é aquecida, está sempre turva como se estivesse suja e é muito gelada. O café da manhã foi o mesmo todos os dias e não tem bolos e nem raízes e nem banana da terra, cuscuz e etc. Apenas pães, frios, suco, café, ovos mexidos e uma tapioca que é feita sem recheio algum. O restaurante do hotel não tem variedades. Ponto forte são os quartos enormes, a piscina privativa e a localização

Custo benefício deixa a desejar.

Reservei o hotel por causa da piscina privativa. Mas em Jeri talvez seja meio difícil usar a piscina privativa porque passamos o dia nos passeios e à noite a água está fria o suficiente pra não ser agradável permanecer mt tempo dentro. Não é aquecida. O hotel fica de cara pra duna, com vista pro mar. Mas a vibe do Essenza (não o Dune) é melhor, embora ele seja mais caro. Enfim, o fato de ter piscina privativa não vale o valor. O café da manhã em dia de semana é servida no outro Essenza, obrigando o hóspede a andar uns 5 min pela areia. Pro nível do serviço que o hotel se propõe a prestar (ele custa umas 4-5x o valor de um hotel mais simples em Jeri), isso não deveria acontecer.

O melhor de Jeri. Escolha os quartos superiores!

O quarto do hotel é maravilhoso. Um dos melhores que já fiquei no mundo. Tem até adega climatizada. Mas recomendo o andar superior. O Andar inferior não tem vista porque tem bastante árvore na frente e tb fica muito exposto para a rua e pode ser vulnerável de segurança. O café da manhã é maravilhoso, tem até espumante, mas é a la carte. Se vc preferir o café na piscina do quarto tem que pagar 200 reais. A vista do quarto para a praia e dunas são perfeitas. Lindo pôr do sol. É um hotel afastado do centrinho. Ideal para quem busca sossego e privacidade. E vc tb pode usar a piscina e a estrutura do hotel Essenza, o maior. Eles Ficam pertos. Entendo que o Dune seja a melhor hospedagem de Jeri. Os funcionários do café da manhã são muito simpáticos, mas o da recepção precisa melhorar o humor. Ser mais alegre e festivo. À noite o caminho para ir ao hotel é muito escuro e deserto. Não recomendo ir sozinho. A vila é bem segura, mas dá um pouco de medo. Poderiam iluminar mais o trajeto. Se vc quer uma experiência de Instagram e fotos lindas esse é o hotel.

Decepcionante

Razoável, não vale o valor que cobra. Hotel que precisa de manutenção urgente. O atendimento dos funcionários não é bom,parace que estão fazendo um favor quando se pede uma informação, com algumas exceções como Airton e Luiz do restaurante.

Tudo perfeito!

Foi incrível nos hospedar no Essenza Dune. Pra quem sonha com um hotel com muito conforto, vale a pena investir no Essenza. Chegamos antes do check-in e eles guardaram as nossas bolsas para ficarmos á vontade e ainda pudemos utilizar todas as instalações do outro Essenza após o check-out. O atendimento é de primeira. Vamos voltar com certeza. Uma observação: achamos a área da frente do Dune um pouco exposta, seria bacana ter uma divisória na frente, como tem no outro Essenza.

Não vale a pena

Muito caro para o que oferece. O hotel parece um anexo do Essenza, não tem nem recepção, um restaurante improvisado e os quartos. . Café da manhã bem fraco, limpeza ruim. Matei uma barata a noite e no dia seguinte após a limpeza a barata continuava lá, embaixo da pia.. Roupões bem velhos..Fica distante uns 300m do Essenza mas numa área que não tem nada. De dia ok mas de noite é muito escuro, dá medo caminhar até o hotel. Não tem nem segurança.
