“A good resort experience in Porto Seguro”

I am not normally a fan of all-inclusive resorts, but I enjoyed this one, and was glad to be there because of the way Porto Seguro is laid out. The part of town with businesses and such is quite a distance away. I was fortunate that I had a guide to show me everything as, without a vehicle, it would have been difficult otherwise. The town has a lot of interesting history and the beaches are really quite lovely. The resort itself is very nice. Beautiful (and large) pool, with a bar (with food service) and pool-side tables and chairs. The restaurant was quite nice. Breakfast was good with reasonable variety and high quality. My room was comfortable with a very comfortable bed, a good shower, good A/C, good internet, a small balcony (overlooking a kids playground). I used their laundry service, and was impressed with both the speed and quality of the service. When I arrived, there was an English-speaking person who seemed to be assisting on the front desk, but I didn't see him again during my stay. The other staff were friendly and patient with using an online translator. I notice that there are some VERY old reviews posted which are not so nice. I would say that the place has changed since those experiences.

This hotel was located in a nice area directly across the street from the beach. There was plenty of restaurants and bars in walking distance of this hotel. The pool was awesome and very clean with a decent bar and food service. The only letdown of the pool bar was they could not make a real piña colada, which was a little disappointing, but we got over it.. The rooms were comfortable, and the shower was amazing with two dials for the water in which you could make the water extremely hot if you wanted and the water pressure was excellent. Housekeeping did a tremendous job whenever we would leave to go to the beach for the day we would come back in the afternoon and the rooms were completely spotless. The hotel also had a very decent gym with a side room in which you could book a massage. Breakfast was included and it had many options which was fine for us the four days we were there if we are in the area again we would certainly rebook this hotel.

The hotel is located 4 miles north from downtown Porto Seguro, in front of the beac (you need to cross the street to get to the beach. The swimming pool is excellent and the exterior facilities are very nice (park, tennis court, football pitch). There is a bar service in the pool. There are different type of rooms, some of them are bigger, more comfortable and renewed. Breakfast is good (not orange juice, too much regional juices) and it is possible to have dinner in the restaurant (service by kg. of food you have). The area is regular, specially in the night. There are a supermarket, a pharmacy and a pizza bar 100 yards from there. It is easy to get a taxi to go to town (50 R$) or any other place, or you can take a bus (3 R$). Very recommended to visit Arraia de Ajuda, nice beaches and a beautiful small downtown with restaurantes and bar (to go in the night). To go there you need to take bus or taxi to the Port, a ferry to Arraia (4.75 R$ returnt ticket) and then a van service to any beach (4 to 6 R$). Service in the hotel is very good and rooms are very clean. The bathroom has an open window, they should put a net to avoid insects in there !
