Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers direct access to the beach from its grounds, but the room was not ready until late afternoon upon arrival. The location is fantastic, close to a beautiful beach but slightly secluded. Overall, the hotel provides a beachfront escape with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The service was professional and polite. However, the room I stayed in was clean but lacked proper maintenance with a worn-out sofa. The location was beautiful and serene, perfect for relaxation.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms, a great location near the beach, and delicious breakfast and dinner buffets. However, the nights were a bit noisy, making it hard to get a good night's sleep.
I was truly impressed by this hotel. The location is superb, right on the stunning Praia Grande beach with lovely boardwalks leading straight from the hotel to the sand. The staff were fantastic, especially the attentive waiters and waitresses who even recommended a charming local restaurant for dinner one night. However, the bustling atmosphere that felt like a canteen at times was a drawback. The dining options were varied, but the noise level could be overwhelming at times.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were big, clean, and very comfortable, with a large balcony offering a great view. The location by the beach was perfect, away from the hustle and bustle of the old town. The staff were lovely and always ready to assist. However, the dining options could have been more diverse for a greater culinary experience.
