This was the best place we stayed in all of Brazil. You would struggle to beat it. The prices are very reasonable The pancakes and egg breakfast is the best Ive had. The location is perfect, close to both beaches at Barra, close to bars, resturants, shops and bus services. The owner is legendary for advice on what to do... more

I stayed at this hotel in the night of nuptials. The room is big, comfortable and very clean. The balcony is big, agreable and with an amazing view! Breakfast was served in the room and it was pretty good. more

Hotel was built in 1950 when there were none of the much taller condominiums that line the Av Sete De Setembro main beach route. But it is still a good location and the upscale neighbors increase the security of the area. Hotel operates smoothly and the room was very good for the price. I got the three day "Best of... more

Going to Salvador? The only place to stay is Casa do Amarelindo in the historic Pelourinho section of Salvador. It's all about the location and the Casa do Amarelindo is in the middle of the "Pelo". But even if there's music in the streets, Gilles and Didier have reconstructed an historic building with the best sound proofing so that when... more

Pousada das Flores is located just next to the Pelourinho in the heart of Salvador at a historical small street where most of the old houses are protected. The Pousada is very well looked after, wonderfull dark wooden floors, big rooms and some rooms have a superb view over the sea. The crew with the owners Eric and Rosi attend... more

The Superclubs Breezes Costa do Sauipe is lovely. My husband and I spent 6 days there with a couple of friends, we had a fantastic time. My husband loves surfing, so it was a perfect arrangement; he went surfing and I stayed by the pool with a drink or I could watch him surfing with his friend from my beach... more

Canto das Aguas means "Music of the water", and this hotel is situated on a most beautiful river where the waters cascade down the granite waterway.

Without any doubt this is a great place to stay. I stayed here 2 times in one month. When I had to go back to Salvador, I did not doubt one second to return here. The breakfast is one of the best I got during my 1 month stay in Brazil. The rooms are lovely, very clean and quiet as... more

A short stroll to the beach and to many of the bars and restaurants in Farol da Barra. There are also excellent, fast bus links to the Pelhourinho and other areas as well as plenty of... more
