Property was nice. Most staff was extremely polite and courteous. Just one evening muscular make receptionist was very rude to me in my opinion.

The hotel is in a very good location at the beach, but the condition of the room I got was terrible. It’s OK for me to stay only for one night. I arrived late at about 8 PM. The room was so old and there were many brown spots on the floors and walls. Initially, I thought it was not clean, but these were the things /stains that could not be cleaned with regular cleaning. The hotel staffs were nice. This hotel needs serious refurbishment, at least the room I stayed. it’s not worth for the money they charged.

Amei minha estadia no hotel. Cuidaram muito bem de mim e do meu filho. Os recepcionistas muito atenciosos ( Raquel e um rapaz que foi o que primeiro me atendeu qdo cheguei. O rapaz do café da manhã, muito educado e atencioso, acho que ele era o chef. Parabéns a toda equipe.

Hotel muito bem localizado, em frente à praia e a um ótimo restaurante/bar. O quarto era espaçoso e a cama confortável. Entretanto, em nosso quarto o box do chuveiro apresentava falha de vedação na parte inferior, permitindo vazamento de água para o restante do banheiro. Após cada banho, todo o piso do banheiro ficava molhado.

Quarto improvisado sem lençol e obra às 8h da manhã no 1uarto ao lado, mas a acústica parecia que a obra era no nosso quarto (estaca, furadeira, pedreiros). Impossível descansar. Mudamos de quarto e ficamos sem toalhas (não sei se por falha da equipe ou pq não tinha no hotel). A sensação era de que não estavam preparados para o grande movimento em alta temporada pelo São João do Maranhão.

Tive azar no quarto, pois a tv estava com defeito e tive q ir para outro quarto, mais ao fundo e com características mais antigas e simples. Sobre o hotel, a localização é ótima, a equipe é ótima, a área da piscina é ótima a o café também. Destaco inclusive o atendimento do Francisco durante o café! Ele prestou um ótimo serviço, sempre muito simpático e atencioso! O pessoal da recepção também merece nota 10!
