Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Although well out of the centre of town, the hotel has access to a lovely beach and offers great value for money. But beyond all that, the staff are amazing - so friendly and helpful. I have to give a special mention to Patricia who arranged a long-distance taxi for me on her day off and kept in regular phone contact with me to make sure I got it safely and on time. Patricia is a star!!

Hotel with good structure, helpful and well-trained staff, has a children's pantry, small but safe parking. We stayed in the room with sea view and bathroom, good acoustics, clean too, clean pool. Everything well organized. Point for being a 100% non-smoking hotel.

Bad hotel!!! We were placed in a room that looked like a basement, I had rhinitis, I went in and started sneezing, it was in front of the pool, so I couldn't leave it open to ventilate, on the side there was the wardrobe and the parking lot, it made a lot of noise. We asked to change room and the reception staff said that there was no other available, we were desperate and after a lot of insistence he said that there was a vacant room. We changed room and we didn't know what was the worst, the air conditioning was old, it was leaking water and making noises, the "veranda" window was torn, to close the door of the room, had to force it to lock, the wardrobe door was running, it seemed like it would fall every time we needed to move, it was sticking. Towels and sheets stained and old, the replacement of the towels were made every two days, if you want every day, you have to pay R$3,00 per towel. They do not provide beach towel, if you want to use in the pool you have to pay R$5,00. There is no outdoor shower, that is, we enter wet and with the foot full of sand in the room, the cleaning leaves to be desired. The pillows were pretty bad, thin and there was only one for each and only one sheet to cover. The breakfast was quite reasonable, they were the same things every day, the same fruits. They made tapioca “at the hour” which took more than 20 minutes to bring to the table. Hotel very far from the center, practically has nothing nearby. There is a bar/restaurant next door and for those staying in the south wing like I stayed, good luck! Late music every day. The front beach is beautiful and clean. Wi-Fi had virtually no signal. They left us without toilet paper, no floor mat in the bathroom. A horrible shower, a very small shower that almost never leaves water and still pings cold water, a very strong smell of chlorine, looked like pool water. Safety leaves nothing to be desired, as the restaurant is open to the public at coffee, lunch and dinner. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone, worse we have stayed.

Bad accommodation, inefficient reception. I asked several times for several attendees, bed for the third person, safe, more towel, to clean the shower, because it was with almost all the holes blocked. Room was for 3 people and had a bed, was only resolved at the end of the night, almost at bedtime, being that the Reservation was for 3 people. Shower clogged, I had to solve myself, disassembling the shower and cleaning at 23h to be able to take a descent bath. Only two towels for 3 people, room was not swept in 7 days. Breakfast very weak, there is no variation of the little we had in every day. I socialized a safe and was not provided. Loose toilet paper holder, no screw, bathroom box, no maintenance. I have seen several pensions with a superior structure and care than found. I do not recommend it to anyone. It was the worst experience in all the Trips I've ever made.

Hotel doesn't deliver what it promises, it took me a while to look for a hotel to go on vacation, I saw something on social media, it's already difficult to receive service via WhatsApp, it's terrible, the person in charge doesn't give you the necessary attention, I made a reservation for two children and two adults, I sent an email- mail I checked out online the number of people I paid for the reservation. When we got there, the reservation was only for the couple, and besides the problem, there was no room for couples! Everyone who was busy charged me extra because of their mistake, they put me in a room at the back like a spare one facing the wall, horrible bathroom, electric shower doesn't work. Breakfast the coffee tastes like 2 days old coffee in the machine good service but otherwise terrible experience for the price paid at night it works as a pizzeria one of the waiters closing early taking away too early, no comments I stayed because I had already paid and the schedule was made but For those who are planning, I don't recommend it.

We will start by the reception that was top, we arrived 1h before the check-in time and immediately after the completion we were already allowed to enter the room and the best without costs. Room as reserved, privileged view of the beach and swimming pool as requested, not to mention that it is foot in the sand. Spectacular breakfast, with a super variety of options that changed every day, tapiocas made on time on orders. Hotel staff all very friendly and welcomed to all requests. In general the hotel TOP!!!

There are not many hotels in the immediate area, and I find myself needing to stay in this neighborhood occasionally, but had never tried Bessa Beach Hotel before, so I thought I’d give them a try. My first impression was that I didn’t find the employees very helpful. When we parked in front of the hotel and took our bags out of the car, the bellman asked “do you want help bringing those into the hotel?” I knew that there wasn’t a chance that he'd be bringing my bags up to the room, and I was right. Later, when coming back to the hotel after dinner, we greeted the desk clerk with a “good evening”, but he couldn't be bothered to reply—I guess we disturbed his nap. The hotel elevator had an overwhelming odor of mold, probably from guests using the elevator directly after the swimming pool. Our room was not much better: there were no hangers in what passed for a closet and the bathroom was very small and uncomfortable. The bed had only 2 of the flimsiest pillows I've seen in a long while. We called the front desk to see if they could send up 2 more. We waited for a while, but finally gave up and went out. When we returned, we called the front desk again, and with a new shift on duty, it was an easy task (as it should've been the first time we asked). The bed was so uncomfortable that I hardly slept at all. When I moved the pillow, I discovered that there was an electrical outlet behind the pillow on the headboard. I don’t know what the building code is, but I’m pretty sure that an outlet behind a pillow would not b on the “good idea” list. I have never stayed in a hotel that didn’t have a room safe, until I stayed here. Overall, I won’t be staying here again, and I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone that I like.

Beachfront hotel with a good pool! Simple breakfast, but with different options each day (cake, bread) and you can also ask for an omelet and tapioca to be prepared on the spot. Attentive staff and the breakfast waiter was very friendly! Hotel is not in the center, but the place is quiet and there are some restaurant options nearby!

This is basically a 3 star pousada charging 3-star hotel prices. Apart from the reception staff (OK friendly) I cannot recommend this place for foreign visitors accustomed to nice, comfortable homes. We asked , and paid extra for, a room with veranda. The room itself was air conditioned but the veranda was an improvised job, with a plastic roof and no comfy chairs to sit on. There was only one small sheet on the bed. There was only one glass available in the frigobar. The bathroom towels were medium size and damp. There were no toiletries (shampoo etc). The breakfast was not good. Did not try the internal pool which was sunshine free. Worse still, the beach opposite was declared permanently closed for health reasons. You can apparently take a taxi to a beach 6 kms away. There were no pleasant resturants near the hotel (the miserable-looking pizzeria next door was closed). We walked along the back street parallel to the main beach promenade. The sidewalks were full of holes, building rubble and general garbage.
As for the city itself, I discovered no redeeming features. Even the official Tourist Office was not enthusiastic, saying "Don´t bother wasting your money on a taxi to see the "historic center". Above all there was (in late November 2017) an all pervading smell of sewage, apparently a long-standing problem not addressed by the local government.
We decided to cut short our one week holiday after three days. Despite the rave reviews on Booking.com etc of the Bessa Beach Hotel I would advise normal foreigners to stay away, both from the hotel and from Joao Pessoa itself.

We had an unexpected problem and when we informed the hotel about it, they were very nice and understanding. Felipe and Rafael were very sympathetic and provided a great service. Definitely the kind of staff that will help you if something happens, they were super helpful. The view of the hotel is amazing and the location is great. Located in one of the best beaches in João Pessoa.
