This is more of a holiday resort, rather than a hotel. It's right by the beach, so if you like the sea and the beach, this is a nice place to stay. The room itself is clean but fairly basic. Wifi is free though the password is reset every 2 days. Reception speaks English. The beach goers come really early... More

Nice hotel but not great. It's sort of like a really great hotel...but not. It has the design and shape of a great hotel without the proper maintenance to keep it up. When I arrived the power was off in my room. Not a problem since I wanted to hit the pool anyway. Areas of the room showed water damage,... More

Having stayed at this Salvador hotel over 15 times in the last 6 months, I cannot recommend it to anyone who may have another decent choice. What it is boils down to this: a nice beach, a great pool, with a mediocre hotel attached. Spacious rooms that have needed renovation for over a decade in a hotel that is as... More

Stayed at the Stella Maris with husband and two kids 11 & 10. Service was great, rooms were great, food was good (not awesome but fairly decent). Carte of Brazilian, Argentinian wines was great. The pool and the beach were superb. Staff very helpful, knowledgeable and willing to assist the wandering traveler. It was a bit crowded due to the... More

Just OK. Overpriced by NA standards although we only stayed a few days while on business in the are. Nothing within walking distance of this hotel.

My wife had intoxication food the night before Christmas, probably eating rotten fish for dinner. The place looks like a ghost ship, without monitors for children, a bad beach and rotten food. It was a nightmare and went back two days before finishing the trip.

I did not find any staff that spoke English. Perhaps this would be considered a "resort" by working class south American tourists on an extreme budget -but the rooms are on par with the Motel 6 chain in the US -Except you get a free modest breakfast, which you can eat in the heat. All public areas of this motel... More

Staff is friendly, but clueless. Rooms are sub standard all inclusive type the kind you find for US $50,00 per person per night in the Dominican Republic - those are actually nicer - Screaming children running around and obnoxious mostly Brazilian tourists eating and drinking 24/7 while some tacky music played loudly all over the property. Breakfast is ok, I... More

I am extremely disappointed by this hotels below average standards. The room is sub-par. The hotel staff seem to make an effort, but under the current management, they are lagging. One thing I cannot stand, is micro-management. I would rate the establishment, maybe as a 2 star hotel. They should focus on treating their customers as customers, and not worried... More

I spent one day at this hotel due to a business trip. I did have some time off and with everything, sometimes it's what you make of things. The rooms are not spectacular but, I was on the beach with a nice balcony over hearing the waves and getting a glimpse of the ocean. They are clean and the TV... More
