“A great hotel near the beach, not far from Salvador airport”

This is a wonderful modern hotel close to the beach in Itapua, and convenient for Salvador Bahia airport. It is a great place for an overnight before an early flight.

This is a wonderful modern hotel close to the beach in Itapua, and convenient for Salvador Bahia airport. It is a great place for an overnight before an early flight. Taxi from the hotel to the airport at 4AM cost me about US$18 - it would have been about US$100 from Pelourinho. The hotel has a nice lobby and friendly, accommodating staff. The room in which I stayed was spacious, clean and quite. It was well furnished including a comfy bed, a refrigerator, hot water in the shower and an excellent air condition. There is a pool on the roof, but it is just a large plastic tub, good for soaking but not for swimming laps. The sauna was closed for repairs. Security was great with the reception manned 24 hours, and a safe in the room. The hotel is a 5-minute walk up the street from the main market of Itapua, which is located just north of the intersection of the coastal road and Avenida Dorival Caymmi. The regular airport bus from the airport to Pelourinho stops right at the Itapua market, so the hotel is easily accessible by public transportation. The market is colorful but a bit shabby. There are several simple restaurants nearby around it and on the beach road. Most of them seem to serve fish. Going to the beach is easy - just walk a couple of minutes past the market and you reach the shore. There are rocks just off the beach, which form semi-enclosed pools for swimming, but there is no life guard. I went for a walk on the shore all the way to the lighthouse, which was nice. It took about 30 minutes. Be careful of your surrounding, though, and avoid deserted sections of the beach (walk on the parallel beach road instead, where there is always traffic). Also, it is probably best to avoid walking around after nightfall, except, perhaps for a short walk to one of the nearby restaurants.

“Basic but very good value”

Pleasant service, very competitive price, location near beach and airport, nice breakfast served near pool and terrace. Only down was rooms were a little tired and the air con did not work properly. 10 minutes from airport. Good airport hotel.

very good hotel which is not far from the airport. Just 20min by taxi. Service is good, nice food, rich breakfast, terrace with a small swimming pool. Rooms are average. we had the room number 412 - nice view. You could see the sea.Hotel has got 4 floors. There is a lift. Every room has got a safe. Reception staff so helpful. They have leaflets about the trips, they can book it for you. Bus stop to the centre is on the road front of the hotel. It takes about 50min to get to the centre which is very nice. The historic centre of Salvador is nice.Beach is very close to the hotel. Area around the hotel is very poor. Poor people, poor houses. Salvador is good for just 2-3 days. There is not point to stay longer.

We were met by a bell boy to take our bags and a friendly guy at reception that spoke English. Everything was sorted quckly and our bags were taken to the room. The rooms are nice but a quite dated. The shower was really good and the room had good air con. There is a very god breakfast with lots of options. The big problem we had was the noise, the doors are old and they don't block out any nouse at all. We were stayinv on ths second floor and were woken up between 5am and 6am every morning by cleaning, doors banging, babies crying etc. you can hear everything that happens in the corridor perfectly and I'm not a light sleeper!
