loved my room, no view unfortunately, unfortunately waiting time to check in was unacceptable, people were angry and looked like check in process is way to slow. Besides unhappy check-in time, hotel was nice, rooftop restaurant seems overly expensive, so our group went yo food options in city. Breakfast was great, good selection of food.

The unrenovated rooms are on the bottom floors. They are not sound proof. You can hear everything from neighboring rooms as well as the music blasting from the beach bars all night long. The rooftop is nice, but there’s mold in the pool. Can only recommend the breakfast.

Rio vermilo is close by with bars and clubs close by. Casa Teresa is a restaurant close by to eat Bahian food. Everything is walkable. Go see lighthouse. Rooms can be upgraded with new fixtures and furniture. Overall very good hotel. Gym needs improvement.

Very expensive and not as advertised

Must have been a nice hotel in the past. Outdated rooms, mouldy bed linen, at very high prices. One sugar satchel and one coffee cup in a room for a couple. Housekeeping come into your room when you're out, even when you put up the 'do not disturb' sign. A lot of the staff were very friendly and helpful but management need to address these errors.
