3 star hotel priced as 5 star hotel

Location is good in the posh resort of Praia do Forte, close to Salvador de Bahia. Staff was generally friendly and breakfast was above average (Brazilian are demanding about their breakfast...). However the overall condition of the hotel facilities would, at most, qualify it for 3 stars. The price was, however, similar to the Sheraton Bahia Hotel where I stayed right after leaving Praia do Forte, hugely overpriced.

Uma localização muito boa. O café da manhã com poucas opções, acho que poderiam melhorar nisso.

Ótima acomodação

Foi incrível minha estádia nesse hotel. Não esperava tanto e foi maravilhoso. Cama e quarto super confortáveis, limpo, banheiro grande. Piscina e área verde são ótimas. Fica dentro de um bom condomínio e com acesso exclusivo a praia, próximo a vila. Café da manhã maravilhoso! Com certeza voltarei!

Razoável.

O Hotel é muito bem localizado, os prestadores de serviço são ótimos, mas o prédio em si, precisa de manutenção. Nosso quarto estava com o teto e parede em frente a cama com mofo, sem contar que a pintura é muita antiga. Custo benefício razoável para temporada de janeiro. O hotel tem muito potencial para melhorar, inclusive o café da manhã.

Pousada muito aconchegante. O melhor de tudo é o acesso a uma praia de um condomínio particular, a mesma do Resort Tivoli. E também é importante destacar a proximidade de restaurantes, lojas, projeto Tamar..etc Vale a pena conhecer

Muito bom.

Muito bem recebidos na hora da chegada, chegamos antes do horário, mas mesmo assim guardaram nossas malas e nos deram acesso ao estacionamento. Fomos super bem atendidos no restaurante do hotel, com ótima comida e simpatia dos funcionários. Café da manhã bem servido e variado. Quarto confortável. Ótima localização. Estacionamento no local.
