Top Hotels Near Rio Vermelho Beach in Salvador from AU$32

"Beautiful hotel. Friendly and accommodating staff. Checked us in early. Fresh smoothie and omelette bar at breakfast. Right on the beach. Walkable area by restaurants. Delicious pool drinks. "

"Pool was nice"

"The hotel was very clean, modern and beautifully decorated. The staff were very helpful and breakfast was fresh and tasty. We enjoyed the massage and the pool. The only negative was cockroaches appeared in our bathroom at night- they may have come up the drain. "

"There was little to no cleaning of the room from staff, the power went out with no way for us to get into our room and the night staff member didnt have our keycard eventhough we left it with the day staff. Eventhough he did a good job managing things, he was on his own dealing with the majority. The food was okay and when the power did come back we did get to use the service lift. Our bathroom had mould in ir and the shower head had a lot of limescale and dirt."

"The staff was very helpful and nice "

" I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to warn other travelers. Hotel Portobello is advertised as a 4-star property, but based on my experience, it felt closer to a 1-star hotel. The facilities are outdated and in serious need of renovation. The rooms and common areas look worn down and poorly maintained, nothing like the photos shown online. The overall condition of the property does not reflect a 4-star standard in any way. For the very high price we paid, we expected comfort, quality, and a well-maintained environment — instead, we were extremely disappointed. The value for money is simply not there. This hotel is significantly overpriced for what it offers. A 4-star rating suggests a certain level of quality, service, and upkeep, and unfortunately, this property does not deliver that experience. The only positive part of our stay was the housekeeping service. The maid did a good job keeping our room clean and making the bed, and we truly appreciated her effort. However, that was the only highlight. Overall, this was not a 4-star experience, and I would not recommend it at the price they charge. Travelers should carefully manage their expectations before booking."

"Small, very nice boutique hotel. Very clean and tastefully decorated, with an excellent breakfast buffet. Unfortunately, no one speaks a word of English, so we could only communicate via cell phone and translation tools. Otherwise, everything was wonderful and we can highly recommend the hotel."

"The room was not clean and the general maintenance, the mattress for example was very old and was not in good shape. the staff was very kind and supportative."

"Enjoyed it all, nice little pool overlooking beach, friendly helpful staff, great location, safe area and clean "
