Praia do Forte hotels

Pros: Marcelo, his wife and team were extremely friendly, welcoming and accommodating from the point of booking to the end of my stay. Looking out for me when I was ill and providing a complimentary bottle of fizz for NYE were touches of customer service above and beyond! As were the recommendations and arranging a driver to collect me from the catamaran port in Salvador. The studio itself was very spacious and it was nice to have facilities to make own meals. It was close to Alameda but away from the crowds and close to the park and lagoon, which was nice.

Cons: The road and neighbours could be a little noisy.

Pros: Lovely terrace with privacy. Close to the village and supermarket. The hosts were very welcoming and we enjoyed time spent with them.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful service The rooms were super clean

Pros: Marcelos and Mariam are wonderful and attentive hosts. They kindly took us to their home outside Praia de Forte and surrounding forest to show us all their beautiful fruit trees and garden as well as the wider naturalised forest environment which was a wonderful way to spend the day and learn more about life in Brazil. We Highly recommend Casa Verde and Marcelos and Mariam go above and beyond to welcome and include their guests.

Pros: Sebastian & Yolanda are very friendly and make you easily feel at home. The room was decorated with great taste and we spent a lot of time in the hammock (on the balcony) overlooking the trees in the village. The room is very close to the main square with a beautiful panorama over Olinda en Recife. Thank you for a lovely time and that you made breakfast so early in the moring as we had a very early flight.

Cons: Nothing, we had a great time.

Pros: Very nice apartment with a beautiful garden. Best bed in Brazil. Quiet , close to shops and beach. Would highly recommend.

Cons: Would be great if they had a coffee percolator or a french press.

Pros: Very organized and cleaned, and all the staff super friendly. The beach is beautiful and the hotel has amazing structure and pools.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The resort is beautiful and so big it doesn’t ever feel crowded. Having the pools and beach close by provides the best of both worlds. All you can eat and drink including cocktails and spirits makes for careful fun! Restaurants were amazing and no expense was spared....bartender were friendly and really looked after us...resort also provides live shows and entertainment! counting down until I can return!

Cons: On occasion we would need to request room facilities which seemed a little disorganised at times...early morning check-out was a challenge for staff.

Pros: Hotel facilities are very well maintained. Perfect place to relax. Service of staff is very good.

Cons: The Japanese food was very disapponting, hotel is rated as 5 five star hotel, but all the restaurants don't represent this status.

Pros: The location; The staff;

Cons: Food:- Quantity is put before quality. Ingredients don't seem to be of prime quality. Only cakes were reasonably good. During a 8 day stay salted butter could´t be found, that is strange! The thematic restaurants are pretentious, but the food is not up to what could be expected.

Pros: Nothing. I actually put in a complaint to booking.com on the first night and am taking it further. I can't be strong enough - Do NOT book! The cleaning staff were friendly and smiley

Cons: 1. You couldn't swim in the sea as the waves were 2 meters high! 2. The food was awful! the worst that we had eaten in Brazil 3. We ordered steak and veg and a sauce - only the steak turned up - no explanations 4. The staff were rude 5. The staff were ignorant especially to europeans - trading with Brazilian friends and they actually had a go at the staff because they were so bad. 6. When you complain - they could not care less! 7. Attitude was - we already have your money so tough! 8. 1% of the staff spoke english 9. No english TV channels 10. Activities all in Portuguese - tried to do the archery but communication was hopeless Bingo by the pool - all in portugese so we couldn't even take part in that. 11. Getting a taxi from the hotel - no english 12. We tried to check out after the first meal as it was that bad and they wouldn't give us a refund even though we hadn't used the room 13. One week of my life i would rather have not been through 14. Felt very isolated there

Pros: Great staff. Laid back surroundings but efficient service.

Pros: Breakfast was amazing and whatever was leftover from breakfast, they served to us as a 5pm tea, what a treat! Beds were comfy, breathtaking location. There’s absolutely nothing that we disliked. Many thanks to our breakfast waitress Edijane for always going above and beyond to spoil us. I can’t wait to go back next year!

Cons: NOTHING!

Pros: The beach and the room is really clean and nice

Cons: No parking space

Pros: This is a great location with a sea view and a lovey garden with sun loungers at the front of the hotel. It is a short walk to the main strip of restaurants and shops and also very near project tamar (turtles). Breakfast has a big selection and afternoon tea of pastries and cakes is a nice addition. We saw marmosets coming down to eat fruit at tea time. The rooms all have sea views and have hammocks on the balconies. Staff are friendly.

Cons: For the price I would have expected more information at the hotel and maybe a pool. The staff don’t speak much English but are friendly and try to be helpful. The rooms are quite basic for the price but were clean. The safe was different to others I’ve seen and didn’t seem very safe.

Pros: Have loved everything about this beautiful place, sorry to leave. Beautiful location right on the beach, warm friendly staff, the most delicious food including afternoon tea, No negatives at all except my lack of portugese!

Pros: Directly at the beach, with amazing beach. Comfy garden and well located vlose to center of town.

Pros: They could offer breakfast...

Pros: Nice and quite place on a residential street, at just a couple of 100m from the restaurant area and 5 minute walk from the beach. the little terrace, garden and hammock are prefect places to relax. Madalena, the owner, is very charming.

Cons: The room and bathroom are rather small, but one does not come to Praia do Forte to spend much time indoors (and wifi works perfectly well also in the garden and on the terrace).

Pros: the place and the host serve all your needs

Pros: the quiet and clean environment

Cons: i liked everything.

Pros: The restaurant is amazing, it is worth only eat at the hotel. I want to come back just to have the "cocada" with "tapioca" icecream again. Breakfast superb. Beautiful hotel.

Pros: There is nothing to say negative about this place, we travelled the world always staying in 4 and 5 stars hotel and this is the only one so far I have nothing negative to say! Excellent service and truly is every cent worth. Specially the amazing breakfast.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great Location, clean rooms, friendly staff. Appreciated the New Year Eve table and buffet

Cons: Small pool and a few machines called a ‘Gym’ . Difficult to get an Iron

Pros: Everything else was great.

Cons: They charge 10% of tip from the total amount of the all your expenses (including the rooms - which are already expensive) which isn't common in Brazil - although they try to convince you that is common in Brazil. For instance, if you spend around of 3300 reais total in your stay, you will pay 330 reais in tip (which is like 80 Euros) on top of the total value. They try to make it mandatory in the bill and claim to be common practice in Brazil but it's not. (Tip services are normal, but not tip the total amount including the rooms).

Pros: Excellent breakfast, great location to all shops, staff helpful, good reception

Cons: No complaints

Pros: Beautiful hotel in a beautiful setting. The pool was great, the food was delicious. Handy to be so close to the main high street and beach. Not all staff speak english but that's ok as they were all very friendly.

Pros: Yes

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good location of the pousada, it's a 5-minute walk to both the beach and town center with restaurants. I had a room in the adjacent building with a king-size bed, TV, air con, balcony. Free wifi. Friendly staff helped me with tour booking, transportation to Salvador etc. Really nice breakfast with fresh fruit juice and all kinds of breads, "salgados" and you can even order tapioca and eggs. I would

Cons: Hard to find anything to complain about. If I had to find one thing, it would be great if the pousada offered laundry service.

Pros: Hospitality and breakfast. Got fresh "caja" juice upon request. It was delicious. Got a tip at the end of my check in about Tamar project, without asking. I loved this proactiveness! Got several tips on places to visit and restaurants.

Cons: Room had very strong room spray smell once I arrived. Got a bit dizzy with it, but I fixed it quickly. Just opened the windows and fan and problem solved.

Pros: The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. From checkin to checkout, they were really attentive and friendly. The breakfast was delicious and abundant. I recommend this place to anyone traveling alone or as a couple.

Pros: Excellent breakfast, much better than I expected, fresh juice, tapioca omelettes and buffet breakfast

Cons: Room just tight with little room for a chair inside...balcony cute with hammock but too hot to be outside, though a/c inside works fine

Pros: Extraordinary breakfast, various local dishes, excellent choice, even for vegetarians. Beautiful room with terrace, great for cat lovers (neighborhood full of cats). Very friendly and helpful Staff, great communication. Location in quiet and peaceful street but very close to all main sightseeing points in Praia do Forte. Very comfortable beds and quiet neighborhood makes you sleep very well at night!

Cons: The swimming pool looks bigger on the photo ;) This is only thing that may be considered as "can be better". No other concerns!

Cons: Prices a bit high for what they offer.

Pros: The Pousada was very familiar, the food was excellent (homemade) and the New Year dinner was fabulous. It was served on tables in the garden near the pool, and it was really a delightful experience.

Cons: The suite was located to an alley with loud noise all day long. For the price we were paying, this was not expected at all. The Pousada garden and pool are located just on the side of the villa main road to the parking lots, so it was not quiet and relaxing at all.

Pros: Very friendly stuff! Happy to help all the time! Wonderful breakfast and perfectly located!

Cons: Rooms could have more light.

Pros: Pool was great, With hydromassage. Breakfast was great. Nice straff.

Pros: Very nice location directly at a wonderful beach. Great breakfast.

Cons: The breakfast, could have a bit more of cakes and regional food.

Pros: Very nice garden which all rooms have the view to it, very cute cat in the property, and very good location.

Pros: Great location and staff were supremely helpful

Cons: Breakfast was standard daily.. would have been nice to offer more variety and maybe outline what's in each breakfast food for allergens/intolerances

Pros: The location was excellent. We could check-in already around 9am, well before the official check in time. Breakfast was good and pool area well maintained. The last day we had to leave early to go to the airport and they arranged that we could start breakfast a little earlier.

Cons: The hotel personal did not speak English at all. Our rooms in the ground-floor were old and dark. There were no glass windows, only wooden doors. There was no shampoo in the bathroom. The towels were old and a little dirty. Our balcony was next to the kitchen, so it was smelling the whole time and our friends had a room with a wall in front and neighbors looking into the room. Pool bar closed early. We had to ask 4 times in order to get the Wi-Fi access.

Pros: Nice place, breakfast is okay, I had a good time

Cons: Small pool

Pros: Excellent location, nice and clean accomodation. Friendly staff. Tasty breakfast. Highly reccomend!

Pros: The only ok thing about the place breakfast was good but starts at 8am.

Cons: Check in: we arrived to check in and the front desk lady was texting on her WhatsApp. We said good morning ... asked how she was and as she asked for our names she even not looked at our faces and kept texting on her WhatsApp. She had lot of attitude on her tone of voice, gave a paper for us to fill it up with our personal information. I was actually about to leave and look for another place to stay. As we finally get by check in lady, we realized they rented most of the rooms for a big group of kids that were on a school vacation coming from the US. Kids were loud... real loud... We got to the rooms and felt like in a box , rooms are too small... very bad. Survived the first night , wake up for breakfast and we learned from another rude staff that breakfast starts at 8... ( I travel a lot and never seen breakfast start at 8... Got down at 7:55 to get food and there were a line of school kids starving for food... Asked front desk lady why so late for breakfast and she gave me tons of excuses... none of them are our fault as we are paying higher prices to stay there. As they realized I was not happy they started to get better be nice. So we comeback to sleep and guess what ? There were a Brazilian party for the school kids with loud music and dance... and I had to make them stop so I could sleep. Stay away from there! I told you so!

Pros: Great breakfast in spacious dining area. Modern bathrooms and tasteful decoration.

Cons: Design/layout of rooms and open spaces means noises are amplified and carry throughout which is a shame.

Pros: Very nice owner! Awesome breakfast Perfect room Clean

Pros: The place is really quite and beautiful, people were extremely nice. The owner practiced her English with us. Food was also very good

Cons: The room smelled of mold, and it was full of mosquitoes

Pros: The atmosphere and decoration was lovely, it was clean and bed comfortable. Room had air conditioning and good wifi. The breakfast was great with lots of choice and the staff were very helpful. It is not on the main strip of bars/restaurants so lovely and quiet and only a short walk to anything you need (5 minutes at most).

Cons: Our room (room 15) had a noise of running water, when I asked about it I was told it was something to do with the water tank of the property and was offered another room. We also had the room next door (room 16) and couldn't hear the noise so think it is likely specific to this room not the property in general. I would recommend avoiding room 15 if you are a light sleeper, or that the hotel add a bit of soundproofing. Everything else was wonderful.
