Arrecife

I loved the neighborhood, the soft comfortable bed, and how quiet it was. The apartment is lovely, just like the photos, well cared for and full of conveniences. The pool was delightful and always clean, and the staff were kind and helpful. The kitchen was great, the fan worked well, and the shower had hot water and decent pressure despite being low. Shampoo, conditioner, and soap were provided, and the sheets and towels were clean and soft. I'd definitely come back. I loved it despite a few annoyances. The apartment is so big that the air conditioning struggled to cool it, and we had to leave it on longer than I wanted. Be careful, they may charge for electricity without warning. There was no full-length mirror, and while internet was fine on my phone, YouTube stalled at the start. The curtains didn't darken the bedroom, even at night, so it needed blackout curtains. Booking messages made me uncomfortable because they kept hinting I was smoking marijuana, though everyone in town smokes except me, a lifelong square. I also felt pressured to check out and leave quickly because they kept asking what time I'd go. The lock has a trick they don't seem to know: you have to push upward or it won't open. It took me nearly half an hour to figure that out.
