Have not seen slower service in my life!!! The rooms are old and gloomy, the food is the same buffet twice a day, the pool depresses you at all times and the prices a ridiculously high!!! Don't think the manager is any help either!

Located in the Rio Vermelho Beach, the Location is one of the best in Salvador. It has beautiful views from all rooms, but this is all. I went to this place ten years ago and the place shined, but it seems that since them they forgot what maintenance is. Dirty windows from the sea moist all over the place. Old... More

Yes I agree with everybody in tripadvisor this hotel is very poor, it takes almost an hour for them to serve french fries in the pool and than if you ask for a coke it takes another 30 minutes to arrive. The gym is incredibly old and the equipment outdated the jacuzy buttons dont work and the sauna is terrible,... More

Everybody deserves a second chance, but it's sad to say that it was a bad choice. The room was not of the newest, the curtain had a big tear (!) and the air con was partly working. I'm not gonna mention the bathroom... If you want to use the wi-fi network, do you need to call from your room. They... More

The hotel is perched on a high cliff and has great sea views in the neighbouring ocean. Morning buffet and food are plentiful and well serviced. Lots of South American artworks underground in the open terrace. Is found in peaceful area of Salvador and worth a stay

Although it is well located, with a great view of the Atlantic, the hotel is away from everything. My room was ok, nothing special, even because my expectations with this hotel chain are low. When I arrived there was a plate with a mix of local sweets. Breakfast is below regular, with a terrible coffee and tasteless pastries and bread.
