Top Prainha Hotel Reviews

Casa Jardim di Sol

10/10 Excellent

"I like the decoration , massages, the diner time They Rome was very clean, the staff was very polite."

Praia Confort

8/10 Good

"Praia Confort is conveniently located right in the heart of the city, within a 5min walk of the beach and several restaurants. The room was on the small side, but the beautiful mountain views from the balcony made up for it. The bed and pillows were comfortable, and breakfast was decent. Unfortunately, the service was a bit of a mixed bag. I found the male staff friendly and helpful, while my interactions with the female staff were less welcoming. The bathroom was also quite small, and the soap supply was insufficient, I had to ask for more just to take a shower. The biggest downside was the Wi-Fi. I’m not sure if the connection was poor because I was staying on the 7th floor, but it worked much better in the lobby than in my room. Overall, the hotel’s central location, proximity to the beach, and mountain views were definite highlights. However, improvements to the Wi-Fi, bathroom amenities, and customer service would make the stay more enjoyable."

Hotel Vip Praia

10/10 Excellent

"I didn’t have a universal charger and they provided one to me right away. There was a water leak in my bathroom and I informed them and they switched my room within 15 minutes of knowing about the issue. They also called a taxi for me at 4:00 AM and the front desk spoke clear English, if that’s a concern for you. They are a great staff, have great wifi connection and have water, and other free goodies that make your stay more welcoming. Yes, welcoming is the word I’d use for this hotel, especially the staff."

Hotel Pérola

8/10 Good

"I was a little disappointed when I thought the room I booked had an ocean view and it did not. The building is nice, clean and staffs were friendly and courteous. Tiles on floor need to be replaced since some had cracks in them and some parts of the building can use some fresh paints. The Buffett breakfast was good."
