Recanto Residencial Mariscal - Apartamento 2 quartos

The beach was wonderful, clean, safe, and well set up, and I'd return to it. I wouldn't stay in this apartment again. The value for money just wasn't there. It was in a good spot near the beach, but the apartment needed maintenance. The photos here and on booking showed a wardrobe where we found a bunk bed instead. We could put up with that, but the bathroom problems were harder: one had no hot water, and in the other the flush didn't work. That toilet took at least twelve hours to refill. Since it was just me, my husband, and our daughters, we managed by using one bathroom for the toilet and the other for showers. With more than one family, crossing between bedrooms to use the toilet would be impractical. The apartment's attic hatch was left open with a light on. Thankfully it was clean, but we couldn't climb up to close it. I asked the managers early in our stay to shut it because the light stayed on all night and made the apartment very hot. They said they'd take care of it, but no one came. The doors were worn and had no keys, so with multiple families you can forget about closing the bathroom door in the shared access area, the one with the good shower and bad flush. The appliances were very good, as were the TV and washing machine. There was parking for two cars, and the place felt safe and peaceful. The internet was weak and didn't work properly in some parts of the house.
