If you have to stay in Recife, this is a good place. It is very close to the airport (Taxi 10 minutes) and to the Praça da Boa Viagem. The breakfast buffet was great, the hotel restaurant reasonably priced. Our room (executive) had a safe, cable television and free wireless internet. The price of the room was labeled with 1220...

What a terrible bedroom, old, smells horrible. Everything seems to be from 40 years ago there. What a terrible experience. Recife does not have good places to stay... More

What was great about the hotel suit was the space. It was grand - the furniture, the bedroom, toilet, the ambience all that. The breakfast was just superb. However, the restaurants did not have much choices so far as the dishes were concerned. And if you are a vegetarian, you have extremely limited options. And the prices were high for... More

I stayed at this hotel at a business trip, and I can only say that this is one of the many hotels in Brazil that claim to be top of the range, but are actually not even good standard (maybe it was 30 years ago). You find them in Recife, but also in Brasília, a few of them in Rio.... More

My husband and I went to Mar Hotel for our honeymoon. Actually, I also got ready for my wedding in the suite, which was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated. The bathroom looked like it had been renovated recently and the shower was excellent! The pool was really big and it had an amazing waterfall, which made it 5-stars!!! We spent... More

I've been to Mar Hotel for the 4th time last week. What i saw is a decadent "once a 5-stars" hotel, now not worth a 3 stars. Old furniture, old TVs, dirty bathtubs, service OK, breakfast OK. It has aged like Recife, today a unsafe, violent city, which i DO NOT recommend. More

I stayed in the Mar Hotel for a conference for 3 days in July 2008. It charged like a 5 star hotel, but the facilities were hardly up to the standard. First, I reached there on a Sunday night at 9:30pm and found that they had no restaurants open. My only choice was to either order the overpriced room service... More

I stayed there more than four times since 2002, after staying at Atlante Plaza for the first time in Pernambuco's capital city. And I do intend to stay there again every time I visit Recife. There's nothing I could complain about this hotel - everything is just great! The rooms, the swimming pools, the restaurants, the staff, even the location... More
