Top Varzea Hotel Reviews

Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Somente o chuveiro do quarto que ficamos que jogava água pra todo lado menos para baixo."

BEACH CLASS CONVENTION BY MAI

10/10 Excellent

"I was very disappointed with the bed, as it was extremely hard and uncomfortable. I asked if it could be changed, but I was told that all the beds in the hotel were the same. What made the situation even more disappointing was that I was supposedly staying in one of the hotel’s best rooms. I expected a much higher level of comfort, especially considering the quality of the room I had booked"

Transamerica Prestige Recife - Boa Viagem

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente estadia. Logo no chekin nos perguntaram a preferência quanto a altura do andar, escolhemos um alto e nos deram. Vista maravilhosa da praia, muitos restaurantes no entorno. O quarto era enorme, com mesa para trabalhar, o colchão muito confortável. Recomendo!"
