"When we arrived after 9:00 PM, the reception was already closed, and the security guard appeared frustrated with our late arrival. He did provide us with our room key and escorted us to the room.
Upon entering, we discovered that the air conditioning unit had leaked condensation, flooding around the bed in the room. We immediately notified the security guard and showed him the issue. The AC unit was serviced the following day; however, in the meantime, we had to use our bath towels to clean up as much of the water as possible.
We will return but hoping the next visit is better."
"I stayed here for only two nights—arriving late on the first night and leaving early on the second—but I still wanted to leave a review because the staff made such a positive impression.
The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I also want to recognize the woman working in the restaurant. Unfortunately, I didn’t catch her name, but she was wonderful. Even though I don’t speak Portuguese, she went out of her way to communicate with me, recommend local foods and places to visit, and make me feel welcome. One evening, she even spoke with the chef to prepare a traditional local dish for me. That extra effort meant a lot and made my stay more memorable.
The hotel itself is affordable, clean, and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. The shower was quite small, but it was functional and not a major issue.
My only criticism is the communication regarding transportation before arrival. I contacted the hotel in advance because I was arriving late at night and needed assistance getting there. Unfortunately, I never received confirmation before landing and had to arrange transportation myself after a long trip. This was the only frustrating part of my experience.
On the morning of my departure, however, the staff arranged a taxi for me without any problems.
Overall, the kindness and hospitality of the staff were the highlight of my stay, and I would happily stay here again. Location is great, too!"
"Beautiful property! Located next to a shopping area which was very convenient. Next to a local beach. The food was great especially the breakfast! The AC worked well but the water pressure in the shower was very low and not hot. But overall it is a beautiful property and I will definitely stay again."
"I was a little disappointed when I thought the room I booked had an ocean view and it did not. The building is nice, clean and staffs were friendly and courteous. Tiles on floor need to be replaced since some had cracks in them and some parts of the building can use some fresh paints. The Buffett breakfast was good."
