very pleasant, the room was very comfortable, good pool, breakfast was terrific, coffee, omelets, fruits, desserts & more. the room was clean, hotel location excellent next to the beach, taxi stand, excellent restaurants, mini-stores, gas station, and pharmacy, I just see a lot of slackers-schemers and may be criminals in the alleys next to hotels.it is not fun-completely safe to walk around the hotel or next to the beach. the hotel staff was nice, but they don't provide needed information for safety for example they don't give you a city map if you don't request one, don't inform your about the different type of transportation for example to see a soccer game in castelao arena, they don't tell you that the tour companies offer transportation to the soccer game which is safer than riding in taxis, didn't tell us about the protest in one nigh, we have to be asking for those details, internet is very weak. Brazilians are not the best hostess, some people are schemers & play "the good Samaritan game" and some people are arrogant and jerks, also they don't like to hear complains. I don't feel they are ready for big events like Olympics or world cup. good things gym was free, the room was nice, the hotel offers really good prices, I feel what they charge is correct.
