    Comfortable Stay
    I cannot say that I agree with the recent reviews shown on my right; I quite liked this hotel. The room was small but okay. I didn't really understand the floorplan of the bathroom, however– The door swung inward and could barely clear the shower or toilet cramped beyond it. The…

    Very old, basic, simple hotel
    Maybe this was a 4 Star Hotel decades ago but it is in desperate needed of modernisation. Rooms were extremely basic. Ours had a few small ants in, and the toilet continuously smelled of urine. We asked this to be rectified a couple of times but the smell wouldn’t disappear. …

    Terrible!!!
    I stayed here a while ago and my stay was so bad, that after complaining to the management, they offered me a free stay. When I wanted to arrange the stay, the current manager, Vanessa, returned my call after leaving many messages, one month later! She had me contact the…

    Great location, dated structure
    Great location, at the beach in a good district of Joao Pessoa. It is a dated structure, the air conditioner is under-dimensioned, the bathroom could be cleaner, cheap bath products and towels. Staff is very kind and works hard to overcome hotel limitations.

    Response from Teresa D, Gerente de relações com clientes at Tambau Hotel
    Responded 20 Mar 2017
    Dear Mr. Ivan T, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at our Hotel. We are constantly seeking to improve our quality, therefore, feedback from our guests is very valuable to us. We inform that, currently, our Hotel is undergoing a gradual restauration of its facilities, due to our proximity to the ocean, which imposes special care. This process occurs in a slow speed so that our guests do not feel disturbed, and approximately 75% of our rooms have already been completely renewed. We hope for the opportunity to have you as our guest again soon, in your next visit to João Pessoa. Kind regards, Fernando Souza General Manager Tropical Hotel Tambaú Tropical Hotel & Resorts Brasil

    Boa noite. Eu tenho reserva para o feriado de 15 novembro, onde ficarei no hotelntambau por 5 dias, mas estou receosobdevido aos comentários, que não me agradaram muito.estou pensando até em cancelar a estadia. Poderia né dar maiores informações por favor
    Pontos negativos: prédio antigo, os banheiros dos quartos não tem ventilação. As 18 horas a piscina está fechada. Pontos positivos: Excelente localização. O café da manhã é bom. Utilizei o restaurante no jantar, o serviço a La carte e fui super bem atendida com os garçons extremamente gentis. as janelas dos quartos dão para a praia e o fundo do hotel já é a praia. Espero ter ajudado de alguma forma

    Nunca deixem de ir em um local por comentários! Já fui em um que falaram tão mal e pra mim foi maravilhoso, assim como já fui em um que foi tão elogiado e eu não gostei!
    Sem dúvida! 😉

    Olá A reforma está prevista pra acabar quando?
    Boa tarde! Não vi nenhum informátivo nas dependências do hotel sobre o término da reforma, porém no meu ponto de vista existe melhores hotéis em João Pessoa, de uma olhada nos hotéis que ficam no bairro de Cabo Branco, lá tem excelentes hotéis na orla e com um preço bem abaixo do cobrado pelo Tambaú. Me hospedei no Tambaú pensando que seria uma estrutura de resort, porém me decepcionei bastante.

    "Avoid the ones with a dangerous bathroom as described above."
    "Ask for a renovated room and an ocean-view."
    "No good rooms, all are old fashion, the price value is not good, it is 2* hotel."
    "All the rooms are Old fashioned, but some rooms with sea view are relatively better, like 3* hotels standards."
    "Get an Ocean view room on the second Floor!"
