This hotel is very conveniently located opposite the pleasant Camburi beach, but is in dire need of modernization. The apart-hotel style is very convenient if traveling with children or longer-term stays. The hotel staff were pleasant and helpful, with most speaking English if needed. In general, the hotel and rooms are rather dark and dingy, and that is only partly compensated by the great views from the front-side windows. This would have been a good choice for economy travelers, but therein lies the problem as the cost of this hotel is directly comparable to much more modern and cleaner options in the area. Overall, we felt that the value in this hotel simply was not there and opted to change after one day.
