Jangadeiro

The beach right outside is beautiful, and the food was good. The bed was comfortable, and the stay wasn’t too expensive. There were some annoyances, though: the TV only had Portuguese, so it wasn’t much use to me, the sink leaked when I used it, and the elevator was extremely hot.

The rooftop pool lets you enjoy a view of the beach, and there’s a small gym that’s decent, even if it isn’t the best. Breakfast is simple compared with what other Brazilian hotels offer. Still, the hotel’s location is fantastic, and my room had a beautiful view of one of Brazil’s most beautiful beaches. I’d recommend staying here.

The location was the only thing I liked. The staff seemed pretty good until I had a complaint. My room and bathroom were very dirty, as shown in the photo, and the reception staff member and her supervisor were unprofessional. It took two hours to turn one double bed into two singles, even though I’d requested single beds in the booking. Nobody apologized or offered an explanation. Very disappointing. NOT RECOMMENDED.

The staff were friendly and helpful, and the hotel is right by the beach. That location can be a trap, though. The rooms were neglected and not very clean, so I’d avoid staying here.
