"This place was just amazing for my first ever visit to Brazil. It’s close to the beach and so many stores and pharmacies close by and restaurants to dine in. The staff are super nice and welcoming and breakfast is so delicious and there’s a variety of food to choose from. The rooms are cleaned every good and I would recommend this stay for sure "
