The hotel is nice however, the walls are thin. You can hear other guests and there’s this strange window in the bathroom that is open to, I believe, a mechanical room and the room next door also has a window with the same situation and you could hear each other whether it was conversation or using the bathroom. Also was next to a housekeeping room and heard them anytime they were there.

I would give 5 stars for the locations and views. The hotel is very old and smells mold. My first room was horrible. I wasn't sure if the linens was changed because of the stains we saw. My second room was ok. Overall I do not recommend this hotel if you like comfortable rooms like me.

Worse WiFi ever, they don’t accept Apple Pay.

Great hotel in a great location. However, there are a few weird things that Americans will find very unusual one is they do not accept Apple Pay (when even the street vendors in Brazil do). Second it’s probably the worst Wi-Fi in a hotel I have ever used in Brazil. They probably don’t even try to improve it so if you work remote do not rely on the Wi-Fi. It’s absolutely hideous. The only thing that saved this hotel is the location, the breakfast and the staff Everything else is just not great, needless to say that I wouldn’t return.

Probably Better Options

I don't want to rag on the place, but my guess is that there are much better options. This place is rundown, physically uncomfortable (the bed! The chairs in the room! Even the loungers by the pool!), noisy, and just not nice. Very minimal english was spoken (not their fault; I'm the one visiting, so that's my problem to deal with) which made asking for things very challenging. The room I was put in had construction occuring above and next to it, preventing me from ever "relaxing" in my room during normal business hours. Additionally, the room lacked blankets (just a sheet) and the AC options were "freezing" or "minimal and humid." The buffet offerings for dinner and breakfast were fine, though you can't just "a glass" of wine with dinner. The pool areas were nice as well (if you can tolerate children.) Oh, and points for a swim-up bar. Direct beach access from the hotel was also a plus (even if the surf made the water a little too rough to enjoy.) And the showers were hot and with great water pressure. But overall, the place seems underutilized; beach bars and in-lobby coffee bars that were unattended, difficulty in getting waiters' attention for service at the pool, things like that.

Na noite anterior, para agilizar o checkout, procurei a recepção para acertar os gastos extras, entretanto o funcionário estranhamente informou que só poderia fazê-lo se saísse imediatamente do estabelecimento??? Na manhã seguinte, ao soliciar a retirada das taxas facultativas da conta, o mesmo recepcionista dificultou ao máximo que isso acontecesse.

Encontramos várias baratinhas saindo do ralo a noite, durante o dia formigas grandes e vermelhas apareciam nas paredes e pisos. O hotel promete estrutura na praia, mas enquanto os outros hotéis disponibilizam cadeiras e estrutura de cobertura as 8:00 da manhã, vc tem que cobrar os funcionários do hotel para colocação de guarda sol e cadeiras pra uso. Solicitamos serviços de bebida na praia, mas estou esperando o garçom até agora!!! Aí vem o gerente do hotel instruir para não comprar nada na praia que pode fazer mal, para comprar apenas do hotel.

A área externa é boa mas os quartos cheiram a mofo

Fiquei hospedado no Rifóles Praia Hotel & Resort e tive uma experiência bem decepcionante. A parte externa é ótima, bem cuidada, o café da manhã é bom e o acesso à praia é excelente. Porém, o quarto em que fiquei (5º andar) tinha cheiro forte de mofo, precisei dormir com a janela aberta, e ouvi muitos outros hóspedes reclamando do mesmo problema. As acomodações internas são fracas e não condizem com a estrutura externa. Outro ponto negativo é que o hotel não aceita pagamento por aproximação, apenas cartão físico, pix ou dinheiro. Por isso, optamos por não consumir nada lá dentro e acabamos usando restaurantes e mercados próximos, o que foi a parte positiva. O pior foi no check-out: ao recusarmos pagar a taxa de turismo opcional, minha esposa foi obrigada a escrever de próprio punho uma declaração, ditada em voz alta pela recepcionista, gerando enorme constrangimento. Não recebemos cópia do documento. Achei a atitude abusiva e desrespeitosa. No geral, apesar da boa área externa e da localização, os quartos ruins, a falta de tecnologia de pagamento e o constrangimento no atendimento fizeram a estadia ser péssima. Não voltarei.

Fantástico, mas necessita de reformas

Hotel tradicional em Ponta Negra que já merece reformas e atualizações para um público cada vez mais exigente. Apesar disso, a limpeza é impecável e o atendimento cortês e diligente. Seu grande diferencial em relação a qualquer outro hotel mais moderno na região está em seu amplo e variado parque aquático e ser do tipo pé-na-areia, com disponibilidade de serviços na praia.
