1. Raw experience/value:
Our stay left much to be desired. Location was excellent, with easy access to the beach and a beautiful swimming pool area, but overall experience was far from satisfactory. The lack of assistance during our late-night check-in, especially considering we had a toddler with us, was disappointing. Additionally, the room we were given was a long 4-minute walk from the entrance, which was inconvenient for us and our little one.
2.Cost/Benefit:
At CAD 300 per night, including breakfast, we expected a higher quality experience. Unfortunately, the breakfast was a huge letdown, with barely any food available, which is particularly disappointing given Brazil's reputation for delightful hotel breakfasts. The room itself felt outdated, with old air conditioners, a rusty fridge, and an aged bathroom with a non-functional hot tub. Considering the cost, we did not feel like we received good value for our money.
3. A short story involving my experience:
During our stay, we looked forward to enjoying a refreshing beverage by the pool after a day at the beach. To our delight, we discovered a beer machine near the swimming pool area. Sadly, this was one of the few positive experiences during our time at this hotel. In the morning, when we were eager to start our day with a hearty breakfast, we were met with a nearly empty buffet. Disheartened, we ended up leaving the hotel without breakfast, feeling that our expensive stay had not lived up to our expectations.
