Beyond to be a historical place (casa de Vinícios de moraes) the amenities and service is outstanding. Great food and relaxing time by the pool.

Beautiful property located within easy walking distance of the beach.

Dead cockroaches in the bathroom

Amazing place ! Love it ❤️ the people at the front desk were really helpful and kind. I traveled with a family of 10 (kid and grandpas as well , all have an amazing time) Definitely a place to go back❤️❤️❤️❤️ Nothing but good memories ☺️

Nice property near the Itupua beach. Not that far from the airport, a little far from the city center. Clean Hotel, good food, incredible beach.

Great property. Friendly and helpful staff. The breakfast was fantastic.

Property is nice and comfortable. Great to be outside the buzz of pelourinho. Family friendly.

The staff was wonderful, breakfast excellent, location across from the beach just what I wanted.

It is a beautiful and boutique property , very special and unique. The service was fabulous and the staff was so friendly! We love the breakfast each morning and the pool is amazing. It was great for our family and would recommend to anyone traveling with kids or just a couple looking to spend a few nights away. A truly lovely little getaway in Itapua!

I loved the hotel hospitality. People from Salvador are very friendly I didn't want to leave hotel.

O atendimento é excelente!!! Nota 10!

A nice hotel with excellent service from very good staff but a few rough edges. The fit and finish around the hotel is beginning to show its age. The sofa in my room was not comfortable and the chair at the desks is too low. However the food is excellent and they even allow you to order from the restaurant menu as room service.

As a fan of bossa nova and Vinicius de Moraes, I really wanted to have an enjoyable stay and leave a good review. However, it was very difficult to get quality sleep in the hotel/suite. There was little to no noiseproofing in the room, waking me up multiple times every night from people passing by the hallway, staff using their walkie talkies, and the opening of the door from the room across from mine. There was construction every single day except on Sunday of my ten day stay, starting at 7am. The property was beautiful and the staff was very polite, however I was quite disappointed and won't be staying there again because of the noise.

The staff are delightful and go out of the way to be helpful. Across the street from the beach which is ideal. Beautiful grounds

This hotel must be updated with new furniture and repainted .. My bed had bedbugs. I got major bumps on my back and it is inching so badly . This is not a hotel that should get 4 star for it. I feel very sad for being ripped off on this deal. STAY AWAY !!!!!

Uniqueness is the history about it, being the house of the famous poet. Would recommend to improve/upgrade overall facilities

It was a nice experience! We very much enjoyed it! Unfortunately we had to leave a day early, because of a death on the family! I would like to back again!

My stay was great the staff was friendly and professional.They are way ahead of the curb. With the problem of the pandemic I and my wife was greatly surprised by the excellent hospitality. I only wish their cable service was better and they had at least one English Channel

Great location - easy access to airport - lots of amazing restaurants close by - very caring staff!

this is an iconic place to stay. just around the corner from Itapoa light house ,where Vinicius de Moraes lived with actress Jesse Jesse and where some of the great Bossa Nova songs were composed along with Toquinho , one of the great partners Vinicius had. The hotel staff was incredible and the Restaurant is much better than one would expect from a Hotel place. this is the third time we stay there and not the last....

I didn’t have an adaptor to charge my cellphone. They don’t provide amenities such as razors, comb, toothpaste, etc

The hotel is set across the road from a beach with a beautiful view of the lighthouse. The room was adequate, plain, spacious, and needed updating. It had a good size balcony which we enjoyed seeing the sea from the 3rd floor along with palm trees and birds singing. The 2 pools are small but clean and a nice temperature that was refreshing. The service was good and friendly. The area felt safe and the hotel was walled in. The onsite historical restaurant had good food and a plentiful breakfast along with seating indoors and out. Overall the experience was very good and relaxing for an older style hotel.

Guy helped us with parking and luggage. Showed us around and the room...telling us about the beautiful Vinicius house. Enjoyed the service and delicious dinner. Very nice, quiet, romantic hotel. Ah and check in was quick and breakfast delicious too.

We were every year in this hotel since 5 years. My two brothers came to take from there. But the staff at the reception did not let my family enter in my room ;((

The location is great as ít is next to the beach and the light house. I could literally walk across the street and be at the beach. The restaurant is nice but breakfast menu is very limited. The hotel was clean but the room was smaller than expected and seemed to be a run down place as 2 1/2 or 3 star hotel only.

It was a great stay and we were treated well. The restaurant was also delicious and the beach across the road was divine.

Nice place Quiet wirht the beach just across the street Very impressed with the service Highly recommended for first trip to Salvador

Hotel was very nice. The bottled water was too expensive for the small bottle.

The only down side was that I had no WiFi in the room at all and the bikes weren’t available to rent at all

Mar Brasil was a great place to stay for an airport layover. It was a short ride from the airport, yet it was at the beach. It was adjacent to Farol de Itapua, and i had a view of the lighthouse and the surf from my room. The staff was friendly and helpful. The facility and rooms were very well maintained, which is unusual in my experience in Bahia. The hotel was located in an area away from a lot of commercial activity. This made it a peaceful experience. There are a few good restaurants within a few blocks, but no stores that i found close by. it's about 1.5 miles to the main touristy part of Itapua; I'm glad i didn't stay in that area.

I did like the hotel and it's stuff BUT We were robbed on the beach near hotel by a couple of , on the begining very nice, Brazilians who after a day on the beach put a gun in the head and took our belongings . I was dissapointed by action of the Police who did notihing to catch this people ( they arrive 5 minutes after the robbery and did nothing , even did not want to interrogate us or to see a place where it happend). All that great numer of Police and Guards , is a fake and I feel that there is simple consent to such events. I do not reccomend anyone to stay in this area. Although I have to say that hotel stuff were helpful in this situation and did what they can to make us feel comfortable.

This hotel was once nice a long time ago, but the maintenance and cleanliness is so poor and lacking that I wouldnt come back. I should have taken pictures. The bidet hose nosle was black. The toilet seat was broken, the toilet paper holder was broken off the wall, the shower head was so old that it sprayed EVERYWHERE -even over the very dirty shower door and into the bathroom. You couldnt stand anywhere in the shower without water spraying in your eyes. The shower itself was filled with soap scum and black spots. The shower head was broken. The bed mattress was ripped. I would have asked to switch rooms, but had to be at a wedding two hours after checking in and didnt have time to deal with a room change or to discuss these problems with anyone. I had expected a hotel with such good reviews to hot have these problems. Additionally, the sofas in the lounge area were so dirty and moist that feared spoiling my cloths sitting on them. Its clear this hotel was nice once, Ive no idea how it has kept its good rating. The maintenance and overall cleanliness is awful. And I dont blame the house keepers -the rooms were clean as much as a house keeper can do. I blame the managers for not doing a follow up and making sure things like soap scum, black spots in the shower, disgusting tile grout and disgustingly wet sofas in the lounge area are dealt with. Not to mention the broken shower head, toilet seat, toilet paper holder, torn mattress...
