The dinner menu, featuring delicious Italian cuisine, was a pleasant surprise and a culinary experience I won’t forget.

The highlight of our month in Brazil was a self service breakfast that included freshly squeezed juices, local and national specialties, home made pao de quiejo and delicious cakes.

The service was excellent - Giuliano went out of his way to assist us in every detail; breakfast was quite good

He went over and beyond the call of duty; not only did he drive us to restaurants an organise taxis, he also arranged breakfast around a very early airplane check-in for us, and made sure we felt at home, and all our needs catered for.

Good breakfast (I loved the scrumbled eggs) and a very fair rate for what you get!

If you stay at Flamboyan you have to walk several blocks back to Araca for breakfast (although said manager will drive you if you prefer).

However, I didn't stay long, I moved to a Pousada (B&B) closer to the beach after a few hours sitting by the 'pool' at Araca.

No staff onsite, so no snacks or drinks available while you sit beside the small (Araca) and smaller (Flamboyan) pool.

Breakfast was plenty and had good local options - I particularly like a local delicacy called "bolinho de estudante" - fried sweet tapioca-based.

Good hotel for a business trip
Rooms are clean and comfortable
Decoration is simple and cool
Location is perfect for business, near to airport and to roads to cities around Salvador
Breakfast is ok with a lot of local food and fresh fruits
Staff is kind and careful

The included breakfast is very well served.

Rooms are big enough, Breakfast is fantastic, the hotel is located in front of the highway that takes you to the best beaches, rental car is necessary, as the location is not friendly for transportation, only cabs or you may have to rent a car.

Breakfast was good, despite the welcome we had every morning from "Thais" or "Tania".

The breakfast was very good, the wifi works very well.

All in all, staying just for an overnight was just a pity because we could not enjoy the pool on the top floor, the view during the day and the breakfast which I guess is one of the good ones based on the dinner the kitchen served to us: 4 different individual options and all pretty tasteful and well served.

Another problem on this hotel is elevator.

We also asked for an extra small towel one evening and it was never delivered.

No hairdryer; when we asked to get one, they answered that they already borrowed it .

The service team was also a bit overtaxed - fortunately, the hotel was full (many travelers who have business activities in Lauro de Freitas, Salvador and Camaçari) and once we asked for a tray to be removed from our room (we actually left in the hallway) at 10 pm and it was still there at 6 am.

We never had such a awful and bad service and unpleasant people.

Anyway, you will be at a Mercury alike kinda services with the usual Bahia way of slower the speed from the check in till out.

The corridor was always dirty with rest plates.

And the manager takes you to the airport without additional costs!

Breakfast was perfect with several options including natural orange juice, breads, scramble eggs and much more.

The atmosphere is friendly and the breakfast was good, with fresh fruits and pastries.

The room was perfectly clean, breakfast was gorgeous, 5 walking minutes from the beach, great infrastructure for kids and probably the nicest staff I ever met.

There is a free airport pick up service,very delicious breakfast with a great choice.

Breakfast was freshly prepared and set me up for a morning of onward travel before I was taken back to the airport.

The second time my bed linens had hair all over it.

Our sheets and pillows were quite dirty with marks on them (see pictures).

Pros: near to the airport, good breakfast, good for business

Cons: the towels weren't soft, the price was above average

The restaurante offers very good food in buffet style in all meals.

Very good bed and shower, big colonial breakfast from 6am, the only things we use during the single night we spend there.

The breakfast was excellent and was available at 6am,

First time i made a complaint about the bed sheets.

The girls who were at the reception specially one of them were kind of rude.

However the management should be more assertive giving the team a proper training and feedback.

When we arrvied to the hotel (struggling with our bags) we were greeted by a moody and rude member of staff.

Not enough fitness area at all
For the diner the service (I mean the food) is really poor
There are NO ENTRY cards in the rooms (at least not in mine)
In the acceptable side are the room and bathroom configuration and cleaning, and the assistance of the personal
Thanks

Breakfast is standard Brazilian, cake, bread, fruit.

We managed (3 men) to have dinner, breakfast, lunch and 2 trips to&from airport with arround 150 euros (502 reais) and I can say that it is a fair price!

but it ended up being a taxi which wasn't ordered until we went to reception.

We were initially worried when our taxi driver seemed to turn down the backstreets

It's also easy to get to the Pelourinho area either by taxi (which can be expensive) or bus from the main road.

For visiting downtown Salvador it's maybe a bit too far away.

but no one was waiting for us on arrival and it was never mentioned at the pousada.

but adequate, showers didn't have hot water but they weren't cold.

The breakfast was nice and the hotel common areas were so beautiful.

The rooms were very good size, nice air conditioning, good breakfast

Breakfasts every morning were very tasty, good selection of items, good coffee and nice, airy breakfast room.

The only issue we had is about payment where they did a reserve in our credit card before to pay the real price, and this reserve is still showing in our credit card as a bill to be paid.

Very good breakfast buffet and clean all over.

Reasonable breakfast and courtesy dinner are included in the price.

Nice clean room, good breakfast and  best of all
able to come up with a 1/2 bottle of decent red at 12.30 am!!

but extremely small room specially for two guests. Convenient location in relation to airport

However, rooms are not sound-insulated and there is no guarantee that one will be immune to be disturbed by noisy guests.

Three stars are justified, not good for families.

The chef, Patricia, prepared a number of items for a buffet breakfast every morning and was very willing to prepare any special items, such as eggs to order.

Both villas have their own medium size private pool which is very nice, especially during the Brazilian summer (January and February) when temperatures of 39 degrees Centigrade may occur.
