Amaralina hotels

The hotel is located accross the road from the beach in a mostly residential area(Amaralina). The hotel was opened with the last year and is a new structure. There is a local college in the neighborhood that generates activity in the daytime, but after evening rush hour the area is quiet and most businesses are closed buy 9:00 PM. The included breakfast is very basic, and it will get you through to lunch. The beach is very nice and clean. The water currents are strong and there are no lifeguards. If you are going to Barra Beach or to the Pelourinho it will take 20 to 30 minutes by bus depending on traffic. There is internet service available for a fee. The hotel staff were very nice and helpful.
