As an experienced traveller (stayed in more then 85 countries) I have to admit that this is one of the few places I really felt myself being ripped of!! I do understand that between Christmas and New Year prices are higher but this was ridiculous, the price / quality is BAD!
I had two rooms, one for my wife and myself and one for our three grown up kids. The 3 person room was about max 20sqm (incl bathroom) with 2 single beds and one small sofa, size (lxw) 1,70 x 60 cm and for this I am paying 500 US dollars per night! Same for our room, paying 500 dollars (minimum stay 5 nights so meaning I left there US$ 5,000!!) Hot water was difficult, took at least 5 minutes before water was getting warmer. Very noisy rooms, in the morning aroud 07,30 hrs when staff and gartner came in we would immediately woke up as it sounds that these people where staying in yr room. We had every day problems with our toilet (not flushing) Internet access didn't work when we arrived, the fixed the problem the next day but then a terrible slow connection. Breakfast from 8-10. Very unflexible, if you came in at 09.55 most was already gone and you should be happy if they still gave you a coffee. Breakfast was a joke anyway.... I stayed in other places in Brazil paying for a room 75-100 dollars with a breakfast ten times better as here. I came in the first day (and also the last time) for breakfast and it took me about 5 minutes to realize that this was it. Asking for an ommelette but...they runned out of eggs! (what should you expect otherwise for only 500 dollars per night?!!) Like I said I didn't try the next day as I had more then enough of this place. Tamir the manager looked friendly when we arrived untill I asked him for a bigger bed for my daughter....I told him that I wasn't happy at all with what I had to pay and what I get for it...nothing could be arranged and suddenly Tamir wasn't any longer that friendly, helpful host. This place is managed in a very unprofessional way. I will not recommend this place to any one. if one is not convinced of my review and would like to go there then pls take my advice that if you pay more then 100 dollars a night you're being ripped off!!!
