My stay at the hotel came with great views and a nice location by the beach, which was definitely a highlight. However, the rooms felt quite old and uncomfortable, and the service from the staff was not friendly at all. The dining options were decent but nothing to rave about. Overall, it's a mixed bag, and although the location is fantastic, the noisy environment and lack of comfort really detracted from the experience.

I had a decent stay at this hotel. The rooms were quite spacious and clean, though they felt a bit outdated. The staff was friendly, making my son's stay enjoyable, but there were moments when service could have been improved. The hotel is located near the best beach in Salvador, which was a definite plus. However, there were some oddities regarding towel availability, and it was a bit of a hassle. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there are areas that need attention.

The hotel has a stunning location right on the beach, which was definitely the highlight of my stay. However, the rooms left a lot to be desired as they were in need of a serious refresh and cleaning. The staff was friendly and spoke several languages, which made the experience better. While the dining options were diverse, they felt a bit overpriced. Overall, I had a decent stay, but the hotel's cleanliness and room condition really impacted my enjoyment.

I recently stayed at this hotel and while it has a fantastic location right on the beach, I found the rooms to be somewhat outdated and in need of some renovations. The service was friendly, but there were moments of disorganization. The dining options were decent with a nice variety at breakfast, but the lack of Wi-Fi in the rooms was definitely a downside. Overall, it’s a good spot if you're looking for a beach getaway, but there’s room for improvement.

The hotel is well-located near the beach, offering stunning ocean views at sunrise and sunset. The rooms are decent but feel more like a 3-star experience, and the service at reception can be extremely slow. Dining was disappointing, especially with some unpleasant odors in the restaurant. Nevertheless, the large pool area is a nice touch, but I wouldn't say it's the best value for money given the overall experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms offer a nice ocean view, they felt a bit basic, especially for the price we paid. The atmosphere was lively, but at times, it was overwhelming due to loud music and children running around. On the plus side, the location by the beach is great and the dining options were quite flavorful, featuring a variety of local dishes.
