The Tropical Tambau Joao Pessoa is a big hotel in a good location, at the beach in Joao Pessoa. The rooms are old fashioned, with old beds and noisy air conditioning. There is a large swimming pool, good even for children and the elderly. Good breakfast, with regional food, juices and fruits. Friendly and efficiente staff. Secure area, with policemen... More

This hotel is located in the best region of the city and it's not far from the best beaches in the states. If you don't like the beach, don't worry! The hotel has the best swimming pool I have ever seen and the hotel offers free hydro gym classes for its guest on a daily basis. It's the perfect hotel... More

I've spent my last 4 holidays in this hotel, which is strategically located and is a landmark of the city of João Pessoa. The food is great and the price is fair, sometimes cheaper if compared to other hotels in the region. The service is good and the staff is very friendly. Last time I went there (January 2012) I...

The hotel is strategically located along the beach and is reasonably close to a number of restaurants and shops. The general setting is quite attractive with a nice garden and a lot of outdoor facilities. The food is good, though not outstanding. The staff is friendly but not always as competent as you would wish. The biggest flaw is undoubtedly... More

This hotel is the prime landmark of Joao Pessoa, beautifully designed and at a fantastic point in the city on Tambau beach. Stayed in a tripple garden room without seaview, which was good. The food in the hotel is ok, but expensive. Swimming pool is nice (certainly best thing of the hotel). I have seen one of the seaview rooms... More

Our last visit to the hotel was in 2009. We returned this year and stayed for 5 nights. The hotel is in need of updating in certain parts. The rooms overlooking the sea which you would expect to be the best rooms are in fact in a poor state of repair. One of our party had a ripped mattress, damaged... More

In spite of the generally poor reviews, we had a family member insist that we stay at this hotel. Believe the other reviews posted on Trip Advisor's site. This is not a 4 star resort. It was built in 1961 and is a tired and rundown facility. The rooms were small and not very clean. They charge for just about... More

The city is great, but the Hotel need some refresh. My room was kind of old fashioned and there were not a chair to use the balcony. The Hotel location, however, is great. The restaurant is fine (the saturday´s feijoada carioca is great). The staff (as all the general people from the city) is great. Polite, gracious and gentle. The... More

The reception staff were delightful. Many of them spoke English and they really enjoyed the opportunity to speak English with us. The pools were very large and the pool area was comfortable. These are the positive aspects of the hotel, the rest is downhill. The rooms were small and the furniture was old and worn. There were small sandbugs around... More
