I’ve been to Aretê Hotel with my family several times before, and will return for sure. This time though a water pipe broke in one of the rooms and water invaded many other rooms, including mine. Everything that was on the floor got soaked. Staff was very quick and helpful to sort it out. So, this event in my opinion doesn’t erase the good history of stays we had there before

Great hotel for guests looking to stay away from the downtown area. Contemporary and eco deco style. Staff and service is best. The hotel offers delicious with a good variety of fruits, local and international food for breakfast. The rooms are very clean. We stayed in the room with the view to the Marina that has a private balcony. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Não é a primeira vez, que vou ao hotel arete, sentimos que caiu muito; principalmente na questão da hospitalidade dos funcionários e o café da manhã; que sempre foi uma das nossas expectativas; caiu muito em relação ao ano passado! O hotel não está mais o mesmo; uma pena.

Segunda vez q nos hospedamos no Arete e como sempre muito especial. Excelente café da manhã com atendimento impecável, estrutura do hotel muito boa. Vale a pena a visita !! Pontos negativo: A pia do banheiro estava meio entupida demorando pra aguar descer. A localização do hotel fica um pouco afastado mas na baixa temporada a chegada até o centro é rapidinho. Academia muito simples com poucas opções de aparelho.
