I had a decent stay at this hotel, thanks to its great location close to restaurants and the beach. While the rooms were clean, they were on the smaller side and really need some updates. The friendly staff made the experience pleasant, although sometimes the service could be a bit hit or miss. Dining options were okay, but I was hoping for a bit more variety, especially for breakfast.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, right on the beach, which I loved. However, the rooms were in dire need of a renovation and felt dirty. The service was a bit lacking at times, but when I did interact with staff, they were friendly. Dining was underwhelming, especially given the price, but the overall value for money was decent considering the beach access.

This hotel has a prime location right on the beach, making it easy to enjoy the sun and surf. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is super friendly, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. However, the breakfast offerings left a bit to be desired in terms of variety, and the pool area, while beautiful, can get crowded at times. Overall, it offers good value for the money, just a few minor improvements could elevate the experience further.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the upside, the location is excellent—so close to the beach and local attractions.

The hotel has a prime location with beautiful gardens and various outdoor amenities. While the rooms could use some updating and weren't very spacious, the service from the staff was ultra-friendly and attentive. On the downside, the dining experience left much to be desired, as it felt a bit basic and the restaurant was not well-kept. Overall, it's a decent stay, but improvements in the dining and room conditions would enhance the experience significantly.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel due to its great location right on Tambaú beach. The rooms, although a bit small and with an old smell, were clean enough for my large family. The staff was mostly friendly, but we had some hiccups when it came to the service. Dining could definitely use some improvement—the restaurant wasn’t the cleanest and lacked a decent atmosphere. All in all, it was a fair value for what we got, but there were a few areas that need attention.
