My husband and I stayed at this wonderful hotel. It is pretty well located, not on the beach but very close to it; in fact our room was ocean view. It is on Ondina Beach, about 20 miles from the airport. There are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and stores nearby. The hotel is in very good shape, we were told it was recently refurbished, the wood decoration and the balconies make it very nice. We got a studio with a double bed, air conditioned, phone, cable t.v., minibar, digital safe and hairdryer. We stayed at the executive floor so we had free wireless internet access as well. The best part of the executive floor service was it’s executive lounge, it was very nice and they offered a complimentary breakfast buffet, cocktails and evening snacks; besides there was a business center which we used to stay in touch with our families and offices. This hotel offers three specialty restaurants and two bars. The food was great and the best part was the affordable prices! My husband loved the seafood with this African touch that turned it into a unique surprise…. The lobby bar cafe is nice but the staff makes it even better, they are so friendly and thoughtful… If you visit Salvador Bahia, you must spend an afternoon at Pelourinho, the historic quarter which is a 10 minute drive from the hotel; it is a UNESCO world heritage site with baroque churches, colorful houses all showing the African influence… This hotel is also close to Rio Vermelho, another area you should not miss; it offers a vibrant nightlife, cafes, restaurants, boutiques and shopping malls. If you just feel tired and want to take a break enjoy the beautiful swimming pool, have a drink and just rest. If you stay at this place you won’t regret.
Room Tip: ocean view, non smoking.
