A lot of the staff speak and understand English, which was a nice surprise!

Absolutely beautiful views from the rooftop bar and pool. Sauna was perfect after a days walking.

Bed and pillows were divine. Best sleep ever!

Freshly made omelet with your choice of fillings for breakfast and beautiful meals in the evening.

Lots of staff, always pleasant. Nothing was a problem for them.

One of the best hotels I have stayed at in my travels worldwide.

A huge thank you to all the staff. You should be proud.

Here's a polished review that includes the room upgrade:

> I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained. I especially loved the rooftop area—it was a great place to relax and enjoy the view. The breakfast was also very good, with a nice selection of food. As an added bonus, we were upgraded to a better room, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The staff was friendly and welcoming. I would definitely stay here again and recommend this hotel to others.

I was very disappointed with my stay at this hotel in Brazil. For a hotel that considers itself a 4-star property, the conditions were completely unacceptable.

First of all, when I checked into the room, the bed sheets were torn and the towels looked dirty. Throughout my entire stay, housekeeping came regularly, but the towels still looked poorly washed and the sheets continued to be torn. The room itself was not properly clean either.

When I moved one of the chairs, I found plastic bags and trash that were probably left behind by previous guests. There was dust in multiple areas, the TV was hanging crooked on the wall, and there was even a hole in the wall.

What shocked me the most was that the soap and shampoo in the shower seemed to be diluted with water. I have never seen this even in budget hotels.

The breakfast staff were actually friendly and polite, but there was another serious issue in the breakfast area. The chef preparing omelets cooks directly under a ventilation hood that is completely covered in dust. Because of the airflow from the air conditioner and the ventilation system, I could literally see dust falling down toward the food while he was cooking. It was honestly disgusting to watch.

On top of that, the omelets were often undercooked and still raw inside. I was genuinely shocked by the lack of hygiene and quality standards throughout this hotel.

Honestly, I would not consider this hotel anywhere close to a 4-star experience. I would not even give it

I wanted to leave them a four star review so bad because they would not allow visitors (which I guess I overlooked) even for a couple minutes and they also looked at me funny of the entire time I was there passing by, but that is understandable because I dress eclectic. What shifted that throughout my entire day was the kindness and quickness to their assistance and making sure that I am doing well— the smiles with of the maids and cleaners of the rooms, the beauty of the pool, the location right in the middle of everything —I could go on. Yes there were scratches on the wood of some of the furniture when you walk in as a fresh room and there’s a couple of stains on the carpet—didn’t look like it was filthy by any means, but I also come from a country where if I pay this much for a room, it is exquisite and to the T cleanliness. Breakfast was phenomenal. A hot tub would make a lot of sense for this location/price, but again I cannot stress enough how amazing the staff was in regards to they’re friendliness, quickness to help, easy to communicate with even with English as their second language in English as my only. Kudos staff:) Loved my stay! *JUST KNOW: No visitors, no hot tub. Right on the Rasta Beach, Ubers immediate.

Location and view is excellent.
Staff unfortunately needs training in \"hospitality\" - unfortunately the manager himself was the most rude person!
Ladies at the reception were very nice and valued customers more than anyone else. The breakfast was great but the staff was not welcoming (thus lowering the rating despite of good food selection and quality). As such, this place has a great potential if management can pursue what is called a \"positive attitude\" towards their guests.

Room was a good size and clean. Bathroom was large and had a very good walk in shower.
Staff through the hotel were very good and helpful.

Check in and check out processes were a little prolonged due to the compulsory used of QR codes and completion of online check in. Which in turn needed access to hotel WiFi.

Room key cards lost access rights a few times during our 4 night stay and had to wait in queue at reception to resolve.
Roof top pool and bar were very good. Fabulous views and great service

Lovely hotel away from the chaos but not too far to walk. I enjoyed my stay. Very clean, very nice professional staff. Great location with quieter beach. I would recommend adding a guest if you wish people to visit you. They are very strict about guests and will not let them even drop bag in room. I wish I had added my guest for free on Expedia because he was blocked from visiting me and it was a R$200 daily charge when I could have added for free. He was staying locally and I just wanted to have lunch on the rooftop but not permitted. Other than that, it was perfect

Room was clean. Could use a remodeling. Staff was super courteous. I did have a problem with water draining on to the entry area floor from the ceiling air conditioning unit. I reported the issue to a manager and a director. I was given a new room. The communication from these individuals was very poor. It was later in the evening and I had to go down stairs to find out what was going on and what they were planning to do. I would not stay here again.

The location was very good with everything you need nearby, supermarkets, pharmacy, restaurants, etc.
The pool on the roof was very nice with towels provided, having a bar there really helped. Trouble is, it was too small with all the beds quickly occupied. But the beach is just across the road!

Pool, bar, room and views amazing, food was mid

Staff very attentive. Beach view is amazing if you can afford it, it’s definitely worth the upgrade. There are two WiFi networks, the hotel one doesn’t really work but the apartmento one does. Gym was always clean and empty as was the sauna. Pool was nice and warm with great views and an excellent bar. Breakfast was a standard continental breakfast for a good hotel, it was in the expensive side and there are great breakfast spots nearby. Other food was very poor. I strongly advise to eat out, the restaurants nearby are very good. Hotel dinner was way more expensive and low quality (frozen pizza for twice the cost outside for fresh). Street behind the hotel was a little dodgy at night but Ubers always arrived quickly. Only other real complaint is that the ac was very strong and cold and didn’t seem to be adjustable (we moved the thermostat but it stayed the same temp so just turned it off and opened the window).

Excellent stay

Great location, cleanliness, comfort. Various sets of pillows and blankets in the rooms, quality toiletries. Nespresso capsules are available in the room for a small price.

Breakfast is excellent - great ingredients, broad variety, they refill all the time. Tapioca & omelette station is really working well, they make tasty stuff. They change pastries every day.

Rooftop pool is a gem - view is like from a postcard, and you can really get your zen there.

Also a special mention to the staff who communicated well that AC shouldn't be turned on in our room - well done, every time the room was cleaned, this was respected, thank you. I'd stay here again.

What can be done better:
- Many guests go for early tours and the hotel could offer a breakfast bag. It is a common service even in hotels of much lower rank. It is not about 'taking food out of the hotel and someone suing them if they get tummy issues', it is a simple courtesy and can be also followed by a disclaimer if they are so afraid of that...I'm mentioning this part about consuming food outside of hotel, since the restaurant is plastered with those signs that for 'guests safety they shouldn't take food outside of the restaurant '...
- Cappuccino in the rooftop bar tastes like a colored water with some foam on top.... We were really surprised by the quality...other beverages are great
