For us this really served the purpose we needed it for. We were arriving in on a flight that got in at 1130pm. The drive from the airport was less than 15minutes. Breakfast was adequate, but not amazing. It is close to the beach, which was nice to wander along. If you are wanting a beach resort, this is not... More

After travelling around Brasil, we finished our journey by a 3 nights stay in the Mar Brasil in Itapua which was a bit disappointing. The hotel is clean and has all the amenities you would expect but it is far away from any place of interest around Salvador. Itapua, although a very popular beach resort is also a bit dodgy... More

The beach is across the road from the hotel. The beach is very nice but restaurants and shop are at least 10 minutes by bus. The hotel is... More

I went there with my parents in Sep/2012. From the reviews and since it was an award winner I was expecting much more. The rooms are clean and big but they seem to be a little bit old.

We stayed here on our way from Salvador to the airport. They allowed us to checkin early and we had a nice day at the beach and the pool.
