This was a very good choice, everything was as described and the place was spotless. The fridge, stove top (no oven), coffee maker, toaster, blender, etc. all made it like being at home. There was no problem with the internet and I was able to connect in all rooms with both cell phone and computer. A pharmacy, an inexpensive laundry service and other shops were just across the street. Restaurants, bars, shops and a grocery store are within a 2 block walk. Even more bars, restaurants, fast food and a great padaria (bakery) are within 4 blocks walking along the beachfront. The pool, pool bar and restaurant were great delivering food and drinks poolside. The pool staff even brought us a table, chairs and umbrella when we arrived. The pool has an exit directly to the beachfront walkway during the day for quick access to the beach. Beach bars and vendors abound including kayak and stand-up board rentals. This section of the beach and towards the pontal (the huge rock point emerging from the sea) create an area with reduced wave action for safer ocean swimming for those not comfortable with big waves. All in all, this is a great location and property.
