3 star hotel priced as 5 star hotel

Location is good in the posh resort of Praia do Forte, close to Salvador de Bahia. Staff was generally friendly and breakfast was above average (Brazilian are demanding about their breakfast...). However the overall condition of the hotel facilities would, at most, qualify it for 3 stars. The price was, however, similar to the Sheraton Bahia Hotel where I stayed right after leaving Praia do Forte, hugely overpriced.

Ambiente muito agradável. Funcionários gentis. Pousada com estilo rústico, bonito e com um toque de casa de praia. Ideal para quem procura um ambiente acolhedor e confortável. A comida do restaurante é saborosa. Fica a 5 minutos da melhor praia da vila (nossa opinião) e o acesso é por dentro de um condomínio fechado, que é um lindo lugar! Está muito bem localizada, pois está em uma rua bem tranquila e fica a 3 minutos da rua principal. Foi uma ótima escolha.

Estadia Boa

A pousada tem uma ótima área de lazer, bom café da manhã e bom atendimento. Fica bem localizada, perto da rua principal e da praia. Porém uma coisa me incomodou demais. O banheiro tem só metade do blindex (nova moda nada prática) e acaba molhando o banheiro todo quando vc toma banho. Daí vc pisa no banheiro e acaba sujando o quarto quando pisa de volta no quarto. Outra coisa que achei bem estranha é que várias vezes o alarme da pousada disparava e eu acordava assustada. Fora isso, estadia ok com bom atendimento, boa localização e boa área de lazer.

Um bom hotel, onde eu voltaria a me hospedar.

O hotel nos proporcionou uma boa estadia, com um quarto grande, café da manhã bem variado, espaços bons para circulação e descanso e ótimo atendimento das funcionárias. O restaurante serve pratos bem fartos e bem feitos, Por conta do local, super requisitado pelo turismo, achamos o preço das diárias um pouco acima da média para o tipo de hotel, mas nada tão absurdo.

Razoável.

O Hotel é muito bem localizado, os prestadores de serviço são ótimos, mas o prédio em si, precisa de manutenção. Nosso quarto estava com o teto e parede em frente a cama com mofo, sem contar que a pintura é muita antiga. Custo benefício razoável para temporada de janeiro. O hotel tem muito potencial para melhorar, inclusive o café da manhã.
