I had a great time this hotel. The staff was super friendly and helpful. As an American, most people did not speak English, but I was still able to get everything I needed. Great location (across from the beach) and next to the square. And the free breakfast wasn’t bad either!

The location is perfect. But the beach is extremely crowded. Very dirty sand with trash and lots of people drinking and smoking.

Excellent location. Wonderful hotel. Lovely pool area. Iconic Beach just steps away. (Possibly the best beach in the city. Lovely stores and restaurants everywhere.)

Great customer service at the front desk and at the housekeeping
The hotel is very convenient and right on the Barra beach next to the lighthouse. Busy during the weekend right at the heart of the activities
It is a bit dated and needs some repair and maintenance to make it prettier but everything works
The restaurant food is good. There were things u can order separately from the buffet which is local dishes. Could have been told about it. Found out on the last day
One thing I would warn is the tour agent in the hotel. She will tell you it is an English tour. And yes the tour guide does speak English but do not provide all the details that he provided to the Portuguese speakers. Abit disappointed by that
There is a money exchanger across the road next to the ice cream shop. It is hidden behind a glass wall which is for safety. Better rates there for dollars
Generally love the hotel and the location. And the staff are great and the palce is clean. The pool is also a great touch

Well located near a popular beach and not too far from Pelourinho, one of the hot areas in downtown Salvador.

I have stayed at this hotel twice now. If you want to in the heart of Barra it’s perfect. And if you get a room facing the water it’s perfect for tanning and also the best view of the sunsets. My room was a renovated room so I was happy. I stayed in all the hotels in barra and this is the best one. The waiter who is a mechanic in the restaurant is my new friend. I wish I knew his name a charasmatic friendly guy who loves the Indy.

Great location but a little rundown.
Would need a major renovation.
I booked a Deluxe with sea view.
Since I paid extra for the room category I would have expected to have at least a bottle of water. Instead an empty minibar fridge…

The view from 601 was amazing. Restaurants are within walking distance & in the weekend you could get a nights rest.

This hotel is in a prime location for tourists who want to be based in Barra. There are lots of restaurants, small shops, supermarkets, and tourist sites available walking distance from the hotel. The upgrade to the ocean view room is definitely worth it. It is lovely to watch the sunset from the balcony. Breakfast is delicious. Tours can be booked on site. Staff was very helpful when I needed to change money.
There are some downsides to the hotel. The lock on the hotel room door wasn't very secure and the light was out in the hallway so it was necessary to wander in the dark to find the hotel room. Additionally, there was significant construction going on during my stay and it was very noisy on some days.
