Staff did not speak a word of English and it is a bit dissapointment that in 21 century there is still a language barrier in hotel in such renowned tourist place like Morro do Sao Paolo. Even street vendors spoke English! We were unaware that windows of the room are coming out for inner staircase so room is constantly dark as no natural light if you do not want to be watched by anyone walking on staircase.

Roof terrace was excellent with 2 pools and sun beds around, some outdoor seating, hanging eggchair and the views from it was fantastic. There was also a rooftop bar. We have chosen the room with jacuzzi and we used it, the only thing was... that we did not expect that jacuzzi will be in the bedroom. A bit weird but we did not complained very good breakfast and location was a top spot.

The pool area needs more seating and more umbrellas. If you get there late you simply can’t sit by the pool which is a real shame.

Great location, staff were lovely

Room a bit small as jacuzzi bath took up half the room. Issue with towels not being replaced but staff helpful at reception and dropped up fresh ones. Coffee at breakfast is poor. No chair or table in room. Window looked out at other hotel windows so had to keep blind closed. Only get one room key.

Friendly staff, decent spread of breakfast, nice rooftop terrace and pool, no English but worked well with Google translate for us. Provide beach towels too. Location excellent right on the beach. AC is very good. Helpful in coordinating the local tours. Water provided at reception. Beautiful interiors.

Everything was Amazing in this hôtel. Breakfast, rooms, bar, cocktails, swimming pool, employées. The location is directory on the 2nd beach and the view from the rooftop pool is superbe. WE had an issue with the aircon leaking in our room and they upgraded us to a better room with jacuzzi bathtub. I can't recommend enough this hôtel.

A hairdryer, but no electric plug in the bathroom… I’m still searching…

The location is great at the Praia 2. Many bar and restaurants are close by and there are many drinks stands just in front of the pousada. The team is super welcoming. the rooftop bar is great, as well as the pools. The room had a beach view and an amazing whirlpool. The pousada looks like it was recently refurnished. The breakfast options are very complete.

In essence, the concept seems to offer an "elegant dormitory", as nearly all rooms and cafe area are totally encassed in concrete, no feeling of being 10 m from a beach - totally hidden. No touch of nature. The rooftop pool is nice - but for drinking only.

Modern facilities, posive staff attitude. Perhaps OK for bar hopping on the strip

Constant issues with hot water, bad room cleaning service, due to storm umbrella's flying away and no replacements for days, slow responding employees.

The pool area and the location

Stayed in December 2023

Extremely noisy due its location in front of a public square where people meet to listen to loud music until 4am.

Great breakfast and pool deck

Water was not always hot in the shower. Sheets were only changed every 3 days. Even then, they skipped one of the changes. Towels were only changed every other day. All common areas smelled like sewer most of the time, and the smell coming out of the shower drain was horrible. Breakfast was okay... very limited options for the price of the stay, and many items were re-heated/not fresh. You can hear every bit of music playing on the neighboring restaurants/beach clubs until way past midnight (impossible to sleep early to enjoy an early day next day). I wouldn't recommend travelers aiming to enjoy a peaceful trip to stay at this place.

Front door staff was always available and they would make guests feel safe in and out of the place at any time of day and night. Mid-way point between city center and 4th beach, we were packing pretty heavily for 6 nights, and we carried our own luggage without the need to hire the carriers (we're both pretty active in our mid-thirties... I'd recommend hiring the luggage carriers at the slightest bit of doubt of being able to carry your own stuff).

Noisy at night No english / spanish speaker in staff (only portuguese speaking ppl

Location Pool Rooms

Stayed in August 2023

Booked a room with a sea view - the problem was it was on the ground floor with no sound proofing and as the hotel in on the main drag on Second Beach there was excessive noise from the bars and party goers till around 5 in the morning. Got no sleep as it was like trying to sleep in the open on the beach. Worse still paid over €200 a night for this nightmare.

The staff are friendly and helpful and do try their best. The rooftop pool and bar area are good.
