This was our last stop on a 22 day tour of Brazil. We had deliberately planned a beach and sun stop to make up for the hectic schedule, and this place did not let us down. If you are used to the Mediterranean style of small hotel, you won't be disappointed. It's a simple place, with basic rooms (including air... More

This is our 4th time in Porto Zarpa and the hotel remains one of the best locations in Praia do Forte. The room is very clean and you can go to the beach walking 100 meters. More

Our January 2010 visit to Porto Zarpa hotel in Praia do Forte was a most pleasant experience. While no one on the staff seemed to speak English, they were ever so helpful despite our very limited Portuguese. The small 2 story hotel is one street away from the lively music, shops and restaurants of the village and a short walk... More

We have just returned from a 2-week stay in the Porto Zarpa hotel in Praia do Forte. We booked the holiday with Thomas cook and were unsure of what to expect, as we had never travelled to Brazil before. Flying into Salvador airport is an experience in itself, if you can get a window seat it is highly recommended, as... More

I have just returned from staying at the Porto Zarpa hotel ([--]). It is a small hotel with only 32 rooms, but even so it wasn't full. There was a real mix of nationalities staying at the hotel and the staff were very friendly. The rooms are a good size and have everything you need. The pool is small, outdoor... More
