The hotel has a great location, a few steps from the Porto da Barra beach and walking distance from the Barra lighthouse.

The best that can be said about this hotel is its location near the small beach of Barra, Salvador. This is a hotel where the big tour agencies dump bus loads of tourist who bought a cheap travel package. The place is a rundown, multistory hotel with zero personality. The service is poor. The lobby area is dirty, the rugs... more
