3 star hotel priced as 5 star hotel
Location is good in the posh resort of Praia do Forte, close to Salvador de Bahia. Staff was generally friendly and breakfast was above average (Brazilian are demanding about their breakfast...). However the overall condition of the hotel facilities would, at most, qualify it for 3 stars. The price was, however, similar to the Sheraton Bahia Hotel where I stayed right after leaving Praia do Forte, hugely overpriced.

Pousada muito aconchegante. O melhor de tudo é o acesso a uma praia de um condomínio particular, a mesma do Resort Tivoli.
E também é importante destacar a proximidade de restaurantes, lojas, projeto Tamar..etc
Vale a pena conhecer

Muito bom.
Muito bem recebidos na hora da chegada, chegamos antes do horário, mas mesmo assim guardaram nossas malas e nos deram acesso ao estacionamento. Fomos super bem atendidos no restaurante do hotel, com ótima comida e simpatia dos funcionários.
Café da manhã bem servido e variado.
Quarto confortável. Ótima localização. Estacionamento no local.

O lugar é incrivel, super limpo, natureza abundante, comida boa, localização excelente, maaaaassss o ar condicionado dos quartos é muito barulhento. Desligava o meu lara dormir e o do vizinho incomodava. Uma pena.. Mas fora isso, o lugar é demais!

Pousada muito aconchegante. Possui um acesso para a praia. No entanto, essa praia estava com muitas algas. As outras prais ficam longe da pousada. A localização com relação a bares e restaurantes é ótima.

Lugar tranquilo arborizado e bom para o descanso
Uma boa pousada, bem localizada. O acesso ao segundo andar que é por escadas e podia ser menos íngremes por conta das malas, A praia do Forte é com muitas pedras o que não facilita o banho de mar.
