The place is across the street from the beach. Walkable area. The unit was okay it could be a little better. Very close to Praia dos anjos where all the tour boats leaves. The unit needs new towels they were about to decompose and more face towels as were just one for 4 people. The curtain also could use a new one it looked moldy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Having a garage to park the car was awesome.

A localização é perfeita, não precisa de carro para praia, mercado, fármacia e restaurantes. O quarto tinha tudo que precisávamos e funcionando perfeitamente. Entretanto, a área externa poderia ser mais limpa, principalmente em torno da piscina. A vista pro mar é ótima, mas a área das cadeiras parecia não ser varrida nunca. O banheiro da suíte poderia ser mais bem conservado, principalmente o box. Pelo preço cobrado, esses detalhes fazem muita diferença.

Fui surpreendido positivamente! O quarto estava muito limpo, o pessoal da recepção bastante gentil. A cama do quarto era mais ou menos, mas dava para dormir. TV funcionando, chuveiro bom e banheiro enorme. Ar condicionado funcionava muito bem tambem. Tinha airfryer, frigobar, sanduicheira, muito completo e tudo limpo. O único ponto negativo foi o elevador, aliás, a falta dele. O período que passamos lá ele não funcionou. Ficamos no terceiro andar e subir as escadas, era meio cansativo. Tirando isso, foi muito bom!

Hotel em ótima localização com restaurante excelente na área da piscina. Quarto grande, porém cama desconfortável, cortina sem blackout, quarto fica muito claro para dormir. Até troca de toalha e travesseiro extra eles cobram! Não tem café da manhã e poucas oportunidades proximidade. Atendente que estava no período noturno era muito mal educado.

Local muito bom, opções de refeição próximas e dá para fazer a pé. A estrutura é bom, limpa e o atendimento muito bom. O ponto baixo fica por conta do colchão, travesseiros e roupa de cama, deixa bem a desejar. O prédio é os arredores sao bem barulhentos, se gosta de silêncio, indico procurar um locou mais afastado.

O que pecou foi o cheiro de mofo no quarto; o cheiro do ralo do banheiro está MT forte cheirando a esgoto ( coloquei o tapete do box em cima do ralo e melhorou), botão de acionamento da ducha higiênica quebrada e a descarga com vazamento. Fora estas questões o quarto está na média de um apart. O que me ganhou foi a localização que é excelente.
