Riachão do Dantas Holidays from £1,195

I don’t think the hotel can really be considered a 5‑star property. The staff is good, but the hotel needs maintenance, especially the air conditioning. Also, the bathroom cleaning needs improvement — there are areas with mold. In any case, the stay was pleasant. Breakfast was good, and the customer service and security are impeccable.

It was a beautiful property but the breakfast was very expensive compared to other properties in the area that provided the same type of breakfast but it was included in the rate. But other than that the staff were great, the location fantastic and the food and wine were very good. Would recommend it.

Loved it and especially the roof top

The location of the hotel couldn't be better, about 8-10min walk toward the Light Tower and museum - a major attraction of Barra - and 5-7 min walk to the Morro do Cristo monument for fantastic coastline views. One can easily rent a beach umbrella with chairs just across the street to enjoy the ocean, breathing air, and quiet beach. We also enjoyed many restaurants nearby that offer local foods, acai bowls, and tropical drinks. The breakfast was very impressive for its variety. The room was clean but I had several mosquito bites. Service crews are very friendly but many don't speak English. The hotel is good for its value.
