Staff was very attentive to when things close. Pay attention to closing times, and give the staff an hour prior if you want service. If the kitchen closes at 8pm, it means they go home at 8pm whether they clean uo or not. As a chef, I would be scared to see the kitchen in the morning

All the staff members were adorable and efficient, except for one older guy (night shift) who kept talking about politics and criticising the hotel, the area and the country at large. He was very negative and a terrible first impression, as we checked-in late and had to listen to his personal (unfairly) negative views about Brazil. I would recommend that he keep his personal politics outside work, especially as he doesn’t know what the guests’ politics are.

The property is located on the beautiful beach of Itapoan, the swimming pool is great, breakfast is ok, staff is fine, but the property is old, it seems that it never recovered from the pandemic. I arrived at the hotel at 9 pm and had to take a lukewarm shower, it had no hot water and the drain was clogged and water started to build up and run outside the shower, had to take shower in installments. Room furniture are old and bedding is simple, only sheets, no cover. It is not a resort. But depending on your mood can be a good stay.

My 4-night stay at this hotel was different. When I scheduled my stay I didn't know that the only leisure option the pool closes at 7pm. Beach was my first choice to stay at this hotel but unfortunately the beach is simply impossible to take a shower. Full of stones and farofeiros and not talking about the danger. I will share with you some photographs of the reality of this hotel. Honestly, for the daily rate, it's simply not worth it. Other guests were also super insecure and dissatisfied with the hotel!

The top three things i qould like to see the hotel change: 3. Improve the breakfast items. 2. Invest in better bed clothes. Maybe get some fitted sheets fo the beds. 1. Upgrade the rooms. Especially the televiisions. I used the television a lot . The sheer curtains should be changed also. The refrigerator was working, but should be defrosted and cleaned more. The hotel is perferfect for a romantic get away. With a few changes, this.place could be spectacular. The checkin staff was awsome. The kitchen staff was great. The wifi is good, but can use a little upgrade.For the price I feel i could get justba little better. This was my second time at this hotel. Im sure i will return.

O hotel é bem aconchegante, limpo, organizado. Os funcionários do período da tarde são bem prestativos e atenciosos. Sobre o café da manhã, não tem muita variedade, ficamos de domingo a quinta e o café da manhã foi o mesmo, não mudou absolutamente nada, os mesmos mini pães doces e salgados de domingo foram serviços todos os dias. Tem opção de omelete, tapioca e rabanada que são feitas na hora. O café deixou a deseja um pouco. O hotel é pé na areia, bairro tranquilo. Gostamos muito! Almoçamos no dia de ir embora, estava bem gostoso.

O quarto é grande e a área da piscina é bem gostosa, mas só isso O quarto estava cheio de bichos, umas formigas grandes, não dava para andar descalço, pq pisaria em alguma. O hotel fica em um local muito distante e eu não acabei achando muito seguro ir para praia. Acabamos ficando só na parte de dentro mesmo. O valor não é tão baixo comparado a outros hotéis para uma estrutura tão baixa. Faltam fotos reais dos quartos que nós hospedamos.
