Great simple hotel next to beach and the mall. The location was ideal for my 2 days in Santos. I found it very annoying that they were always out of fruit-infused water in the reception, and when I'd ask about getting more, nothing would happen. However, I loved the pool and was able to swim laps in the evening under the stars with great Brazilian music. They also kept my bag for me after I had checked out so I could enjoy the day before my bus ride. The breakfast was stellar as well, but the line for eggs/tapioca was pretty long and slow; it is kind of mind blowing they only have two people working the station despite the breakfast being served to crowds in a giant conference room. The breakfast staff was patient and kind though and did not seemed frustrated or overwhelmed, despite the crowds. I got a great last-minute deal for this hotel so it was no surprise I had twin beds, no view (literally curtains over a wall on one side to make it look like a window! ha!) out of a sliver of a window, and a wheelchair-accessible bathroom (making for a super low sink, etc. - though I'm happy to report this hotel has great wheelchair accessible bathrooms!). If you are looking for a room with a view you should probably go elsewhere. They had CNN though so I was a happy camper...good to get caught up on the world every once in a while! Overall I'd give this hotel an A-. If they could keep the spa water jug filled in the reception it has potential to feel like more of a first-class hotel.

Fantastic hotel, breakfast superb, comfortable bed and pillows. WiFi excellent. Good location. Plenty of good restaurants close by. Only grip, no tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Which you would expect for the price.

This hotel was very clean. Nothing too luxurious, but completely functional. I would stay here again.

Good experience. To make it great, hotel could improve services at the pool. Hard to find towels during the day. I am from Santos and I was able to make my family enjoys the city as much as I do.

enjoyed it, I will be back.

My experience staying at the Mendez Plaza was a great overall experience. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and clean just as I'm come to expect from hotels in the United States. The employees and signage made things easy for an English-only speaking traveler. Nice pool, breakfast buffet and exercise facility. My brother stayed at the Parque Balneário during the same trip and although it was closer to the beach, the Mendez Plaza has much nicer rooms.

Excellent room, good food with high variety, staff is customer oriented.
