Rio Poty Hotel São Luis

The bed is gigantic, so is the bedroom. You have a great view to the sea on every room, and depending on which room you are add that you will also be able to see the sunset. There is a large swimming pool and a decent breakfast on a great and safe location. The AC is old, but it does work greatly after a few minutes. There's beautiful wood work on the furniture, but bathroom needs improvement. Cleanliness happened often but it would look better if things were renovated, it gets hard to tell.

They added an extra to the price on booking.com. It is an iconic building and it needs renovation, a few things look just wrong, but I balanced to the fact that it is an interesting architecture and if it was fully renovated it would cost much more. Breakfast could have more variety, I also noticed that they don't make tapioca (beiju) during the weekdays.

We travelled with our 9-month old baby Boy and the staff did the outmost to help us: a good crib, warming up or preparing dishes for him, be it day or evening. Besides that a great breakfast, an extensive pool area bordering the sea shore and a spacey room with a sea view. Really nothing to complain. The hotel is a 15-minute cab ride away from the historical centre; some eateries and a supermarket are nearby. We will be back.

Great staff.

A little bit old.
