Amazing Hotel facing the beach in João Pessoa. This was my first time in this hotel with my Fiancé and we loved it. The restaurant has a nice decoration as the hotel with lots of plants and trees. Food is very good. The gym and pool are also great. Breakfast is amazing. The staff is very polite, friendly, always available to help. I highly recommend this hotel.

I have stayed here since they first opened. The last two times I stayed here I had issues and I will be taking a break and staying elsewhere until they improve the quality again. Most of the staff are nice, the rooms are dirty ie. shower was plugged, there were crushed up Oreos or some type of cookie under the sheets and they randomly give you rooms. Do not expect to get a room with a view, even if you order this and even if the hotel explains that every room has a view .

Staff were nice. Marcelo from IOCÁ restaurant went above and beyond. The property was clean. Housekeeping was wonderful. Beautiful hotel with lots of plants and wood. Good food in both restaurants. Parking on the back of the hotel needs improvement (half of the parking lot is unpaved), the music at ORAMA restaurant at dinner time was loud. Overall, I was pleased and would stay again at this hotel.

Quarto confortavel porem repleto de aranhas. Matamos 9 durante a estadia e repleto de teias de aranha. Hotel 5 * porem sem servido de praia sendo que outroa hoteis a beira nar em Joao Pessoa disponibilizam cadeira e guarda sol. Piscina teve dia em que nao havia ninguem do hotel para servicos de bar nem tao pouco fornecimento de toalhas. As que tinham era somente as da espreguiçadeira mesmo...usadas por outros hospedes. Para novas somente descendo 5 andares ate a recepcao. Meu colega encontrou larva na salada no restaurante. Enfim...de estrutura ok mas muito longe de um 5* em questao de servicos. Nao acho que vale o que cobram.
