Nothing against the traditional hotels, but they face extreme difficulties in upgrading their building and services. Ths´t exactly what happens with this hotel. The pool area is the best in Recife by far, including a good sauna and a fitness center. But the rooms!!! Look old, smell old, it is old!! it is their 100% priority!!. The rest is on... More

Booked this through an agency at a discount in Recife. Great views with nice balcony to open the doors into your room at night. Nice gentle breezes and very comfortable beds with soft pillows.

However, the restaurants did not have much choices so far as the dishes were concerned. And if you are a vegetarian, you have extremely limited options. And the prices were high for... More

I stayed at this hotel at a business trip, and I can only say that this is one of the many hotels in Brazil that claim to be top of the range, but are actually not even good standard (maybe it was 30 years ago). You find them in Recife, but also in Brasília, a few of them in Rio.... More
