“Piscine était peut-être un peu petite si l'hôtel était complet?”

L'emplacement est superbe que vous êtes sur une colline surplombant Porto seguro et sur la magnifique côte. Les jardins sont spacieuses et bien entretenues. La chambre était spacieuse, propre et moderne. Le petit déjeuner était exactement ce à quoi vous pouvez vous attendre. Ils avaient des ordinateurs pour utiliser si vous rebute n'avait pas d'un ordinateur portable avec vous. Il est à une distance de marche de la station de bus, et le centre historique. L'aéroport est très proche aussi. Le personnel était très serviable et sympa (mais je parle un peu portugais et c'était très appréciable). Peut-être que la piscine est un peu petite, sinon, c'est un très bon hôtel 4 * brésilien.

“Awesome Ocean Views!”

We Just got back from Brazil and we stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. The hotel is located above the town and the view of the ocean is unbelievable.

We Just got back from Brazil and we stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. The hotel is located above the town and the view of the ocean is unbelievable. It was a 15 minute walk to the beach, but the views of the beach during the day, and the city at night were worth it. The restaurant in the hotel was very good. They had a buffet each night, and while I would not call it a lavish spread, it was certainly sufficient and it did change each night. The breakfast was also buffet style and this too was decent. The fresh fruit, particularly the papaya was the best we ever had. The service in the restaurant was good also. The hotel has a great pool with great views also.

“Great view, but . . .”

We stayed at Vela Branca for the family wedding of very good friends. That seemed to go well and so I will start with the good stuff: The ocean views are fantastic, our room was large and had the best sea view - and was furthest from the music at the bar.

We stayed at Vela Branca for the family wedding of very good friends. That seemed to go well and so I will start with the good stuff: The ocean views are fantastic, our room was large and had the best sea view - and was furthest from the music at the bar. The gardens are beautiful and well-maintained. The pool would be small if the hotel was full. But. . . . Maybe about 20 of us arrived the day before the wedding - but management had not thought these newcomers might want food, so they omitted to organise adequate kitchen staff to cook our dinner. The result was that dishes came individually and intermittently, and some people has eaten and left well before the last few were served anything. Several of our group spoke the language and it appeared that the hotel had never expected anyone to want to eat there! That filled us with foreboding. Next morning we rinsed a few clothes in the basin, with the hotel soap. Big mistake, everything turned blue. Management denied this had ever occurred before but laundered the offending items free; which came back a fetching shade of light blue-grey - something in the waters I suppose. And the safe in our room was defunct. We told management about this several times a day - and to their credit it was repaired - moments before we left 4 days later (actually they had sent a workman to do some repairs, 20 minutes before the wedding service when, understandably I hope, we were getting dressed and preferred to do that without the audience. However, they do seem to take security seriously as there are numerous uniformed security guards patrolling the chainlink perimeter fence at 15 minute intervals; and a manned barrier on the entrance. Wi-fi was promised, and the passwords were handed over, but nothing actually worked, ever, even at the reception desk. There is a town beach, which is dirty from the river flowing past the boat docks, so people seem to rent taxis to travel further up or down the coast - where the beaches are idyllic. Reception also seemed incapable of changing money. As we left, we tried to negotiate some sort of discount for the first night meal debacle, but the one anglophone receptionist was absent and the remainder were intransigent. So we left with a sour taste from what might sometime be a lovely place - if management could only get its act together. Oh, and the airport is really very close. . .
