My room was horrible. Not what expected. To get to the oceanfront you have to the local people and depend more more money. For the price I paid for me coming from Canada to have a good time . I should just stay in a very cheap hotel on the way . Just pathetic.

overpriced

the room is very poorly furnished, nothing to put your clothes, no coat rack, the bathroom is really basic, may be some rooms are better, and most hotels are overpriced in Salvador, compare with the countries around, so it's not good value, you pay too much for what it is.

Booked with my family including 2 kids. The booking pictures looked nice and family friendly . Upon arrival the room had a horrible smell. Couches were stained and smelt horrible. Bugs in the room, broken window, mold in the bathroom and broken mirror. I ended up leaving because it was not suitable for my kids. The pool was dirty could not even get in. I do not recommend this place at all. We couldn’t even get a refund back.

Lastimosamente, el lugar esta descuidado. Las piscinas no estan limpias y los cuartos tampoco. Llegamos y no nos dieron la habitacion que yo escoji en linea. En la habitacion todavia habia ropa de otras personas. Nos cambiaron la habitacion pero la segunda tenia insectos y la ropa de cama estaba con huecos. No teniamos toallas y tocó volver a soicitarlos para pedirlas. Nos fuimos la misma noche. No nos quedamos en el lugar. Creo que déberian trabajar esos aspectos porque pueden perder clientela.
