“Costa do Sauipe Park - Just don´t go !!!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I've just spent 7 nights in Costa do Sauipe Park and frustration was complete. Do not even know where to start.
1) Reception: service is poor since the arrival, where a poor person with goodwill, "Gil", receives dozens of guests alone in an improvised table in the middle of the lobby. Any problem is never solved by a manager ... at least I never found one on duty. Once I was received by a person named "Alinne." She knew only to say that the manager was not duty and she could not help me.
2) Restaurant: requires lots of patience. You will "fight" for tables, dishes, cutlery, to get food ... ahh the food ... good luck. Without any consistency. Yet several times I watched guests entering the kitchen to ask if the trays were going to be replenished. If you like plastic cups ... you will be home. And because the capacity is not enough for all guests, they improvised again using a room next to it. Disgusting! The moldy walls, without illumination and with an unbearable smell.
3) Maintenance: I heard that the complex is for sale, which may explain the poor maintenance. Cracked walls, missing tiles in swimming pools, sun chairs filthy, torn umbrellas, and even the bridge between the hotel and the pool has many parts falling.
4) Beach: nature did its part, but unfortunately the hotel does not offer you any service there and maybe that's why few people spend time on the beach. A few chairs, but nothing more. No beer, water, towel or any recreational activity. If they were to offer any service, they could perhaps relieve the over crowded pools a bit.
5) Bar: Sauipe Park's pool is unfortunate. It has a terrible odor (including urine) and the surrounding area with its filthy. The staff does what it can to meet demand, but is visibly in a number of employees less than the need required. Do not expected fancy or elaborated drinks. And if what you ask for is available, just consider yourself lucky.
6) Absurds: a) the cost of internet is R$ 30 per day. And if someone says that a free network is available at the lobby, do not believe. b) for a complex that has hundreds of rooms ... in the lake area / Sauipe Nautica they offer one pedal boat to the thousands of guests. And many activities have restricted times. c) Internal transport service is a shame. They announce that they come around every 25 minutes!! Many times the buses are crowded with many people standing. Prepare for a lot of waiting. d) the greatest of all .... if you decide to use a transfer not authorized by them, it will not be allowed to enter the vehicle in the complex. You will be required to take the bus, wait for it to go around the complex with many stops until it drops you at the main entrance. With this nonsense I lost 50 minutes!!
7) Free dinner in Vila Nova Beach: In theory, guests who stay for more than 3 nights are entitled to a dinner at a restaurant in Vila Nova Praia. However, for this to happen, you need to book at the same day before 2pm. Unfortunately, the answer I received was that every time there was no longer availability. They will offer you the Japanese restaurant. I could not decipher whether it was incompetence or pure mischief. I went to one without a reservation and paid it out of my pocket ... There was plenty of room. If you end up in the "Italian" will be well served by the Messias.
8) Room: The odor of mold impact you at first. I had to ask to exchange the bedding because I believed that was there before my arrival. And the employees take the card that would keep the air conditioning running ... probably to save energy. On the first day, there was no hot water.

In summary, I thought I was going to high level resort but the experience was far from it.
I am sure you will find better options.

“Great for kids!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2011

The title says it all. Me and the family went, and got really nice rooms. Now, this is the third time that we have gone, and in my opinion, the thing that, my kids enjoy most, in hotels is being able to at least relate to other kids! That is why i love breezes, because they have the, "kids club." I can leave them there, and just enjoy, the hotel for all the great things it has. After a long day, i hear all the things my two boys did, like waterslide, watch a movie, trapezee, and kayak. In general a great hotel, and i loved it!

“Great Place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2011

person found this review helpful

We spent a week at Superbreezes which was fantastic.
Rooms are large & very clean, with good air conditioning. Meals were all great especially on the buffet restaurant where the choice was brilliant, & we found that all meals were hot. Bar service in the restaurants wasn't great, it was much quicker to go to the bar & get served yourself. No issue with what you wanted to drink & you could have as much as you wanted - even champagne on tap in the evenings. My only issue would be very small plastic glasses that they give you round pool bar during the day, but people can use their own plastic mugs - so take your own.Brazillian cuisine in pool bar at weekend & local band were fantastic.
Pool get a bit noisy especially when entertainers about, but beach was lovely & quiet.
Not all staff speak English - but that is part of the fun & we had no issues.
Need to book if you want to go in the jacuzzi(?) & lady in spa was a bit rude.
Nearby town of Praia do Forte a good day out with turtle sanctuary & plenty of shops & restaurants.
Weather was fantastic & we would definately stay again.

“A nice place to spend your time in Brazil”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2010
1
person found this review helpful

We've spent 18 days in this hotel in Brazil in November 2010, and I must say it is a very nice place to spend your holidays at.

First of all a word of advice: if you're planning to go there in November, look it up on the internet when is the FEST DO BAHIA and if it is during your stay DO NOT GO TO THIS PART OF Brazil unless you don't mind to be surrounded by
hundreds of hardcore "Bahia" football fans and their 3-days long drink and yell party. It is quite impossible to sleep in the night during this time in the hotel and even hotel staff can't do much about it.

Location: the resort is located in a touristic area along with 4 other hotels. The area is closed off for outsiders so it's safer than anywhere else, and there is a small "village" located in the middle with shops and restaurants.
You can walk there, it only takes a few minutes or you can take a shuttle bus.
You can reach the beach by the back gate of the hotel, but the beach doesn't belong to the hotel itself. There are only a few beds on the beach, but most people will only stay around the pool anyway.
The beach is clean and sometimes a bit steep. Right next to the hotel there're plenty of underwater rocks and a pretty strong current, so forget about swimming or doing water sports. You can walk both along the
coastline both towards the other hotels (Breezes is the most northern one) or away - you'll find wider beaches around for surfing, windsurfing or kitesurfing.

Room: we have had a "deluxe room" in the 3rd block, 3rd floor, facing North, towards the jungle. It was a very nice and reasonably quiet room, except for the weekends when hordes of kids (or football fans) appeared and
kept running up and down (or drinking heavily) in the whole hotel, shouting and playing. Mind you, if you get a room facing the pool you'll be listening to the music and the programs taking place there all the time.
The room was nice and clean, I can't really complain for anything. It was air conditioned, but in case you don't like that there is a big fan hanging down the ceiling, which provides more than enough
breeze in the room. There was a beautiful sight from the balcony and thanks to its orientation it was never too hot there.
There's a tv with Portuguese, English, Spanish, French and Italian channels, 28 in total, no pay-tv.
There's a minibar with only non-alcoholic drinks - it is included in the all inclusive and they come a restock it every day, even though you need to fill out a form about what you need. There's also
tea and instant coffee available in the room.
The rooms are equipped with smoke-detectors and sprinklers, so they're strictly non-smoking. Strange though that during the "Fest do Bahia" people kept smoking in the room next door (there's a connecting
door to open 2 rooms together) and the smoke came through the door but there was no fire warning.

Restaurants & Food: there're two buffet and 3 a'la carte restaurants in the hotel. One buffet restaurant is located right below the reception, called Jimmy's buffet. The selection is a good average I
would say, but even being picky I could find something for myself all the time.
There is a bar next to the restaurant area with live music throughout the day, and there're some waiters/waitresses serving drinks with the meals. The only bad thing about this is, that most of the time
I had to go and help myself because noone would show up to ask us what did we want to drink. When I went and helped myself from the bar or from the table with the drinks they were looking at me as if I
was taking their job. Well, I wouldn't like to eat my lunch/dinner, sitting there a good 45 minutes without any drinks.
The other bad thing about the buffet restaurant is that due to the tropical style of the building, birds and monkeys can get free access to the area and you can observe swarms of birds in the restaurant while you're
eating. If you leave your plate behind on the table to get something else or to get a drink you can be 99% sure that by the time you're back a bird or a monkey (none of them seemed to be too scared of humans) will
have had a bite from your food.
It's also disgusting for me that all the birds were hopping on the tables where you were supposed to eat - there're cheap ultrasonic alarm systems to avoid this, I don't see why the hotel management can't do anything
against it. The bird problem got worse by our second week there, they were already eating the food put out, and most of the staff just didn't seem to care. There was only one morning when the food was covered with semi-
transparent clothes due to (I guess) an audit taking place - and by the end of our stay it became kind of "usual".
The bars have premium drinks with the all-inclusive, so you'll get some more "premium" (I mean not local) alcoholic drinks too (Jim Beam, Johnny Walker, Chivas Regal, etc.)

Staff & Entertainment: most of the staff is very nice, the people at the reception are awesome. I haven't encountered any problems speaking English to them, although some other employees did have difficulties
understanding English, that's true. The most annoying thing might be, that in the a'la carte restaurants noone spoke English.
The whole area is very nice, a bit feels like in the '80s, but it's cosy - apart from the bird poo on the chairs all throughout the lobby - so you better watch where you sit or just don't wear anything
fancy that you'd feel sorry about if it gets ruined.
There're some entertainment programs availeble, but I haven't seen anything special. They all start around 9 pm and they're extremely loud, so in case you are late with your dinner you better take your earplugs,
because it's all taking place on the stage next to the eating area in "Jimmy's Buffet".
Internet is available only in the hotel lobby (wifi) and it costs 50 Reais for 6 days.
The jacuzzi in the Spa part is included in the all inclusive - you need to book it a day in advance and the maximum is 30 minutes. It wasn't what we expected and the lady there wasn't too kind either.
The gym next to the pool is well-equipped and air-conditioned, I've liked it a lot.

Trips and excursions; from the hotel you can book some trips to the nearby places - prices vary between 30-100 Euros (20-80 USD). We came from Europe and we've asked for a two-day trip to Rio from our travel
agent - just for information it costs about 650 euros per person, including transfers, flight, two meals, a hotel room in Rio for one night and a tour guide for the first day morning.

“Nice hotel but language barrier a problem”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2010

On our arrival at Breezes Costa do Sauipe we were initially horrified to see that there were so many families with young children staying there and the noise in the buffet restaurant was horrendous. After our evening meal we went to the adult games room to play pool and found children kneeling and standing on the tables which had been scribbled on with white chalk. We were relieved on our third day when things quietened after a lot of families left after what had actually been half term holiday.

We soon came to realise that we were actually the only English speaking people staying at the hotel and in fact we never met or came across any another English speaking people even on our trips to Praia do Forte and Salvador. Since neither of us are unable to speak Portuguese we consequently found ourselves quite isolated. Our first thought on arrival at the hotel had been to book a day tour to Salvador but we had to wait a whole week to do this trip in order to have a guide who spoke English. We did visit Praia do Forte twice during our stay and it was nice just to get away from the hotel for a while.

The food, drinks, rooms and swimming pool are all excellent, except I think the hotel really should supply mattresses for the sunbeds as you only get one towel and that doesn't offer any cushioning (the towel isn't in fact big enough to even cover the sunbed).

We were disappointed with the entertainment and would have liked to have seen a couple of decent shows. One evening there was a dancing show but we missed most of that as we had a reservation at one of the restaurants. The Michael Jackson dancer was good but not so good that we really wanted to see him perform three times during our ten day stay!!

I would recommend this hotel only if you can speak Portuguese, unless maybe it was just not the time of year for English speaking tourists when we went.
