Prainha Vacations from $1,696

It’s a modest hotel easy access to the beaches and restaurants as well as Praia shopping. However no lifts, Wi-Fi connection is poor and bathroom ventilation is noisy. The gym is next to the hotel but can be noisy in the morning. The swimming pool is out of service at the moment due to refurbishment.

Small, clean, efficient rooms. Noise was a major issue as rooms have no noise insulation to stop sounds from hallways. We could hear conversations in the hallway crystal clearly and we lost sleep over this until all guests were asleep. Breakfast was nice. They are trying their best. Nice location close to bakery and mini market.

The room was very nice, but the TV never really worked the safe and the door going to the terrace also broken, but fixed the next day. The receptionists Bia and Zany were outstanding and the rest of the help were very nice, but could only do so much. Not mentionied is that the dining room is a very long flight of stairs with no grips down the outside and although I asked, on one occasion it didn't open although I had inquired beforehand. This important because the hotel is very far away from the town, one must call a cab and on the return sometimes they are not available. The swimming pools are very nice, filled with sea water that is constantly changed but it is two flights down. If It wasn't for the employees, my stay would have been unpleasant. The hotel lacks services that international travelers take for granted.
