I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, thanks to its incredible location right across from Praia do Tombo, which is known for being one of Brazil's best-preserved beaches. The room was spacious and had a lovely sea view, but it could use some modern updates. The staff were very professional and always eager to help. However, I did notice a need for improved cleanliness in certain areas, which was a bit disappointing.
