The location of this hotel is great, it's handy to go out and about Barra, the beach a few steps ways. Our room was clean. What stood out for us was the staff, especially Fabio in the reception. We had a small issue with our first room but he was very attentive and accomodating to ensure we had a great stay. I recommend this place when going to Salvador.

Nice room! Olivera, the bellman, was very nice and helpful. I think Olivera is his middle name. The staff are all very nice and helpful. All the bellmen, wait staff etc. Felipe and Eduvan at the buffet and bar are very nice and professional. Fabio was very nice, helpful and gave good advice on a special event going on. This was a nice gesture. He was a little stressed when we checked in but we did try to check in early so maybe that played a part in the stress.
