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

My husband and I stayed at Pousada Estrela Do Mar for 4 nights in October 2008. Firstly, the location of this pousada is great. 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

Excellent place to stay. Nicely situated, clean rooms, wonderful service. The place felt very secure. Best breakfast on our whole holiday (3 weeks)! They even gave you a map of the area with recommendable restaurants, which we found very practical. The only thing we regreted is that we only stayed for 1 night in this lovely place. I absolutely recommend! more

I recently stayed here with several other members of a wedding party, and I was thoroughly impressed, all around. The pousada itself is both picturesque and charming, and the breakfast they offer each morning delicious, but perhaps the most impressive aspect is the staff that runs the place. They are friendly and attentive, as well as knowledgable and very helpful.... more

If you stay in Salvador this Pousada is excellent. The staff are friendly and extremely helpful. I felt really secure there, especially as there is someone on recpetion 24 hrs a day. The cleanliness of the place was beyond reproach. As for the breakfast, it runs from 08:00-12:00, what service, and the quality....after the breakfast I did not need to... more

My stay was just great. Awesome breakfast. Nice, clean rooms. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Wireless connexion is available for a good rate. Beaches are just a couple of minutes' walk. And for those who prefer out of city beaches, buses are around the corner. The place is packed with good restaurants. Enjoy!! more

Very nice place to stay; clean , great beds, air conditioned. Great location, close to beach and bus (And just 4 R to the airport by bus.) The staff were very friendly and helped us with suggestions and reservations. They spoke Spanish well, some English. I recommend it highly. I forgot to mention, several good open air seafood restaurants nearby.... more

My friend and I just got back from a very pleasant stay at Pousada Estrela do Mar. First of all, this is a B&B, not a 5* hotel, so not sure why the other poster on here was so picky. The pousada doesn't claim to be a 5*, but it was clean, comfortable, with air conditioning, a mini-bar, large bathroom... more

As long as you don't go to Salvador to sit in a superb room, it is not a bad place. Even if the neighbourhood is of the "middle to upper class residential" type, the neighbours can be very noisy, you can hear them shout even at 6 a.m. on a Sunday morning. On the other hand, the area seems relatively... more
