Um bom hotel, onde eu voltaria a me hospedar.

O hotel nos proporcionou uma boa estadia, com um quarto grande, café da manhã bem variado, espaços bons para circulação e descanso e ótimo atendimento das funcionárias. O restaurante serve pratos bem fartos e bem feitos, Por conta do local, super requisitado pelo turismo, achamos o preço das diárias um pouco acima da média para o tipo de hotel, mas nada tão absurdo.

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.

Lugar tranquilo arborizado e bom para o descanso

Uma boa pousada, bem localizada. O acesso ao segundo andar que é por escadas e podia ser menos íngremes por conta das malas, A praia do Forte é com muitas pedras o que não facilita o banho de mar.

Sugestão do cantinho do café

Boa estadia. Inconveniente era que minha mãe tem mais dificuldade de mobilidade e ficamos no primeiro andar e ela tinha que subir escada. Também recomendaria que o hotel tivesse um cantinho do café, para ter um cafezinho à tardinha ou à noite, sempre agradável isso em um hotel ou pousada.
