My friends and I went there for Spring break. It's an excellent place to stay. Safe, clean, near all the town shops and cafes, beach front. The ocean right in front of it is awesome. The pool is really nice and the view is amazing. Plus they just remodeled it and it looks great!

very few hotels in this location, the others were too expensive. this was a nice hotel. i liked it. cool open lobby, beach side pool. a short walk to the pier. good for a weekend stay.

When we first walked into our ocean view room on the second floor we thought it a bit drab, but then opened the drapes to a stunning view of the beach and ocean. The room was a nice size, and we did spend a lot of time on the balcony in the mornings and at the end of the day watching the amazing sunsets. In addition to the room being cleaned daily, the whole hotel was constantly being cleaned and swept. The housekeeping staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Our maid left four bottles of water for us each day. The pool was beautiful, and again, was attended to daily. The folks at reception were friendly when we initiated contact. Bananas Restaurant had great service and food and friendly staff. Location was great - away from the noise of the clubs and literally steps to the beach. The sound of the waves was loud, but nothing that a set of earplugs didn't fix. By the end of our stay we had grown used to the roar of the waves and it became quite soothing. A wonderful beach front place. A bit pricier than other hotels in Barra but definitely worth it for just the ocean view alone.

Right on the beach, nice mix of regulars, families, and couples. Large price differential for ocean view rooms, which are totally worth it. The rooms are clean, a little shabby, but you're on the beach all day. The restaurant, Bananas, is very popular for breakfast; I suggest combo #2. The pool itself is clean but the poolside area needed to be hosed down...gritty. Staff is very friendly and quickly recognized us and knew our names. Housekeeping makes up your room early and there were plenty of towels. This is not a shiny new place but it fits perfectly with what you want from Barra...if you want marble and glitz, go to Manzanillo or Nuevo Vallarta.
