Location is good in the posh resort of Praia do Forte, close to Salvador de Bahia. Staff was generally friendly and breakfast was above average (Brazilian are demanding about their breakfast...). However the overall condition of the hotel facilities would, at most, qualify it for 3 stars. The price was, however, similar to the Sheraton Bahia Hotel where I stayed right after leaving Praia do Forte, hugely overpriced.

Banheiro sem box, molhando o banheiro todo. Toalhas ruins para enxugar. Shampoo e sabonete líquido bons. Chuveiro com água fria. Sistema de boiler. Banhos de morno a frio. Vc paga uma diária cara para tomar banho frio? TV com bons canais mas tive que pedir para trocar TV pois desligava sozinha. Café da manhã pouca variedade. Localização do hotel boa, bem próximo da rua principal. Atendimento adequado. Estacionamento ok. Limpeza mediana. Só trocam toalha (local praiano) de 02 em 02 dias.
Como sempre, muito bom vir ao Porto Zarpa! Tudo impecável, café caprichado e com muitas variedades. Quarto super aconchegante, cheiroso, cama top. O que falar da piscina? Simplesmente, linda! Fora o acesso à praia privativa que nos permite ir às melhores praias daqui!

Quarto debaixo da cama sujo , café da manhã ruim. Simpatia dos funcionários zero.
Ambiente muito agradável. Funcionários gentis. Pousada com estilo rústico, bonito e com um toque de casa de praia. Ideal para quem procura um ambiente acolhedor e confortável. A comida do restaurante é saborosa. Fica a 5 minutos da melhor praia da vila (nossa opinião) e o acesso é por dentro de um condomínio fechado, que é um lindo lugar! Está muito bem localizada, pois está em uma rua bem tranquila e fica a 3 minutos da rua principal. Foi uma ótima escolha.

Estadia Boa
A pousada tem uma ótima área de lazer, bom café da manhã e bom atendimento. Fica bem localizada, perto da rua principal e da praia.
Porém uma coisa me incomodou demais. O banheiro tem só metade do blindex (nova moda nada prática) e acaba molhando o banheiro todo quando vc toma banho. Daí vc pisa no banheiro e acaba sujando o quarto quando pisa de volta no quarto. Outra coisa que achei bem estranha é que várias vezes o alarme da pousada disparava e eu acordava assustada. Fora isso, estadia ok com bom atendimento, boa localização e boa área de lazer.
Lugar muito agradavel, area verde excelente, comida muito boa, café da manha muito bom, funcionarios educados e gentis, pertinho da Vila. Otima localização, bom estacionamento
O hotel nos proporcionou uma boa estadia, com um quarto grande, café da manhã bem variado, espaços bons para circulação e descanso e ótimo atendimento das funcionárias. O restaurante serve pratos bem fartos e bem feitos,
Por conta do local, super requisitado pelo turismo, achamos o preço das diárias um pouco acima da média para o tipo de hotel, mas nada tão absurdo.
Foi incrível minha estádia nesse hotel. Não esperava tanto e foi maravilhoso.
Cama e quarto super confortáveis, limpo, banheiro grande. Piscina e área verde são ótimas. Fica dentro de um bom condomínio e com acesso exclusivo a praia, próximo a vila. Café da manhã maravilhoso! Com certeza voltarei!

Razoável.
O Hotel é muito bem localizado, os prestadores de serviço são ótimos, mas o prédio em si, precisa de manutenção. Nosso quarto estava com o teto e parede em frente a cama com mofo, sem contar que a pintura é muita antiga. Custo benefício razoável para temporada de janeiro.
O hotel tem muito potencial para melhorar, inclusive o café da manhã.
