"If you're looking for a place to stay right after arriving in Salvador, this is a great place! I landed around 2:30am, and I was still able to check in. The room was small but clean. The air conditioning worked, and the place was quiet! However, the bathroom really could use a deep cleaning. The location to anything but the airport was a little rough. They did store my bag too, which was awesome!
So, for my needs and purposes, it was great! But I wouldn't stay here for longer periods. "
"Perfect location. Wayyyyy overpriced for Carnivale, but it is, what it is. The sheets were clean, and the pool area has a good vibe.
It’s usually a very cheap hotel, and for its usual $50 per night charge, you would accept it. However, for the $600 during carnival however, it’s a hard pill to swallow. "
"There was little to no cleaning of the room from staff, the power went out with no way for us to get into our room and the night staff member didnt have our keycard eventhough we left it with the day staff. Eventhough he did a good job managing things, he was on his own dealing with the majority. The food was okay and when the power did come back we did get to use the service lift. Our bathroom had mould in ir and the shower head had a lot of limescale and dirt."
"The resort was just okay, but definitely **overpriced** for what it offered. When we arrived, the staff told us that we needed another room to accommodate our 3- and 5-year-old children. At first, they said they would simply charge us for an extra guest and allow us to stay in the same room. However, in reality, they charged us for an entirely separate room that was more expensive than the one I originally booked through Expedia—yet we never even received that extra room.
When I challenged the charge, they claimed the hotel was fully booked. Despite this, my kids still stayed in the same room with us, which made it clear that the “extra room” was unnecessary. This felt dishonest and misleading, and to make matters worse, the staff was rude, dismissive, and unhelpful throughout the process. Prices inside the resort were also outrageous. For example, they charged **$30 for a single coconut**, which is completely unreasonable. The beach itself was just average—there weren’t many chairs available, and the few that were there were extremely old and uncomfortable.
The all-inclusive restaurant was also disappointing. The food was just okay, nothing stood out or impressed us, and certainly not what you’d expect for the price.
Even the surroundings outside the resort were unpleasant. The road leading in was lined with trash, and the overall area looked run-down and rough, which really took away from the “luxury” experience they try to advertise."
