i loved the breakfast they had each day. it featured a really full spread, and the complimentary caipirinha daily added something special. our room, a standard room, was big and clean. the air conditioning worked so well and kept the air fresh.
the area gets noisy at night because of its vibrant location. the noise did not bother us much, but i heard that it may disturb some.
