The hotel is located in a stunning area, right in front of Baia de Riaci, offering breathtaking views. The rooms definitely need some repair and the mattresses could be firmer, but the peaceful atmosphere and closeness to the town center made for a relaxing stay. The service was generally helpful, and the breakfast was good quality, but the overall experience was slightly overshadowed by the room conditions.
I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel, primarily due to its incredible location right on the beach with stunning views. The staff was friendly, which added to the welcoming atmosphere. However, the room was quite small, and the dining experience could use some improvement in breakfast variety.
