"Escadas muito ingrimes e com degraus minúsculos, muito perigoso. Nos colocaram num quarto no último andar, o quarto muito pequeno e apertado, com barulho a tarde e noite inteiras pois é em cima de um bar. O banheiro era também muito apertado, com teto e chuveiro muito baixos, com odor péssimo de urina e sem contenção de água do banheiro para o quarto."

Praiano Hotel

Praiano Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Hotel Praiano has a truly unique staff — helpful and happy at every turn (thank you, Ryan, Sergio, and Pedro!). The Sia Restaurant was outstanding, with a beautiful view, attentive servers, and delicious food. The oceanfront ice cream parlor was a wonderful bonus, too. We also appreciated the kindness of the staff stationed at the main entrance. This hotel truly has a happy, healthy atmosphere."
