Stayed there for 10 days. The room and bathroom are clean and big, the pool and breakfast are excellent (several options of fruits, cakes, bread and even tapioca). Good restaurants in walking distance. Not so close to the beach though.

Location in the business area, relatively close to the beach, nor to far from the airport. The room with style, colorful. The coffe-shop and break-fast and luch menu just perfect. Great variety of epetizers, main courses, fruits, and other desserts. Fresh atmosphere. Lobby is wide, but parking area is limited. Receptionsits hospitality need to be improved.

My parents had their honeymoon 42 years ago in this hotel. They love it as they visit every year. It is an aging hotel but apart from that it is clean and good service. Great location to beach, shopping and airport. The best is the breakfast. My wife had birthday and they sent up a great cake. There are 3... More

Stayed just one night on business. Reasonable room rate although not that cheap. Room large with separate seating area. Shower powerful. Bed large and comfortable. On the downside, TV old and lines running through it making viewing impossible. Ancient patio doors to balcony meant it was very noisy with traffic all night long even though on 11th floor. Room decor... More

Avoid at all costs: rooms are old - and I do mean old, they still feature CRT tvs, old decor and an extremely run down and dirt bathroom. The bathtub had mold everywhere. I've stayed in two rooms and they were both dismal. Hotel location is not that good either - it takes some 10 minutes on foot to get... More

Nothing against the traditional hotels, but they face extreme difficulties in upgrading their building and services. Ths´t exactly what happens with this hotel. The pool area is the best in Recife by far, including a good sauna and a fitness center. But the rooms!!! Look old, smell old, it is old!! it is their 100% priority!!. The rest is on... More

I stayed at the Mar Hotel for a week. It is within walking distance of the beach promenade and only 5-10 minute drive from the airport. The lobby is nice, the rooms were fine, and the fitness center was very "basic."

If you have to stay in Recife, this is a good place. It is very close to the airport (Taxi 10 minutes) and to the Praça da Boa Viagem. The breakfast buffet was great, the hotel restaurant reasonably priced. Our room (executive) had a safe, cable television and free wireless internet. The price of the room was labeled with 1220...
