Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Really needs renovation literally not just building but sheets and towels and better cleaning services in rooms and hall ways etc Pool could use a good cleaning because it has literally pieces of green fungus algae stuff floating around! Staff I can only say great things about them; kind attentive friendly but they need more efficient help there because they have to run dining room bar and pool bar and room service by themselves (2 people)

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 tem estrutura muito antiga. O quarto em que fiquei tinha um cheiro insuportável de mofo, que me causou uma crise de alergia. Pedi a troca porque era inviável continuar ali, e o novo quarto era só um pouco melhor — ainda desconfortável, sem segurança e sem privacidade. Durante toda a hospedagem, não havia cobertor disponível, apenas um lençol fino. O café da manhã é fraco, com poucas opções e sem nenhum sabor. O cardápio de almoço e jantar também deixa muito a desejar: pouca variedade, qualidade duvidosa e preços que não condizem com o que é servido. Chovia bastante durante a estadia, então sair para comer era difícil — e, como não há bons restaurantes por perto, o jeito era encarar a comida ruim do hotel ou pedir algo igualmente fraco pelo iFood. A localização é outro problema: o hotel fica em um bairro perigoso de Salvador, e muitos motoristas de app evitam embarcar e/ou desembarcar na rua do hotel. A piscina tinha um cheiro fortíssimo de cloro e estava suja, com limo nas bordas. Pedi um chopp e recebi uma bebida quente num copo de plástico quebrado — mais parecia chá de cevada. Pedi para trocar por uma cerveja e, mesmo assim, veio quente. O atendimento foi o pior de tudo: fomos tratados com desdém desde o início, sem boa vontade ou qualquer esforço para resolver os problemas apontados. Pela primeira vez, fui embora de um hotel antes do check-out. Não recomendo. Já estive em lugares com metade do preço que entregaram uma experiência mil vezes melhor.
