Aldeia Do Mar Hotel

We stayed at Aldeia do Mar (now called Aldeia do Mar Sensorial Hotel) and overall had a nice experience. The location is very good, right in front of the beach, with a small lighthouse nearby that creates beautiful sunset landscapes. The beach itself is excellent: calm like a swimming pool and easy to walk along. Our bungalow was quiet, surrounded by greenery, and at night the only sounds were the waves and nature, very relaxing. The bed was OK (the mattress a bit too soft for us), but we slept well. Breakfast was very good, with plenty of options. The hotel’s restaurant is also very good. The prices are high, but in line with the best restaurants in town. It’s about a safe 10 minute walk to the city center (just avoid carrying expensive items). Contrary to some reviews we had read, the road to the hotel and the street in front of it are fine. Just remember, this is the Northeast of Brazil, not Germany. Free of noise, beautiful setting, and overall peaceful atmosphere. There are some important points to note. This is not a private resort: the beach is public and shared with locals and tourists. It’s not a problem, but sometimes the way it’s advertised can be misleading. Some bungalows require climbing stairs, which could be challenging for people with reduced mobility. While staff can help with luggage, daily movement might be complicated, so it’s worth asking for a ground-floor bungalow. When we arrived, the room setup wasn’t as agreed despite confirming in advance, though housekeeping kindly fixed it by adding an extra bed for our child. Communication with staff isn’t always easy, but with patience it works. Also, there’s a small stream right in front of the hotel that looked quite dirty (not smelly, but clearly not clean). We understand it isn’t part of the hotel, but for the price charged, one would expect some maintenance of the surroundings. We enjoyed our stay, did a cocoa farm visit and a boat tour, and had a good time as a family. That said, it didn’t leave us with the feeling of wanting to return like other places we’ve visited. It’s worth staying once and enjoying the experience, but probably not a “come back” place for us.

Ci siamo andati per 3 giorni. L'accoglienza eccellente e il personale è stato fantastico, sorridente e disponibile lungo tutto il nostro soggiorno. Alcuni punti sono state tutt'altro (ripetuto problemi con aria condizionata in camera, opere rumorosi durante il giorno, per 2 giorni, piscina chiusa per pulizia, alcuni dei frutti breakfasst erano insapore, molto male qualità di connessione wifi), ma abbiamo ancora avuto un soggiorno molto piacevole in generale.
