Brisa do Mar Barê Praia Hotel - Praia de BAREQUEÇABA

The hotel is very old and overpriced for the quality. It is not very welcoming- the first thing we noticed after arriving was multiple signs everywhere about things that were not permitted (no noise after 10pm! Do not touch the decorations!) as well as stated charges for losing or breaking the tv or AC remote control or the room key as well as a charge for rental of beach towels which I have never come across anywhere in the world. In the room there was another list of all the charges and things that were not permitted as opposed to the usual welcome note and information about the facilities offered. It felt most unwelcoming and I was glad we would not be staying long - not really the impression most hotels hope to make on their guests. Note that the hotel had already sent their long list of rules and conditions both by email and WhatsApp which seems to be their main priority. On checkout the staff checked the room and returned the remote controls to the reception. We booked a standard double room. The room was basic and lacking amenities that you find in most hotels such as drinking glasses or rubbish bin. Only one bedside lamp for two people. No hairdryer. The worst thing was that the room didn’t have a window so it was not pleasant to spend any length of time inside. There was no natural light other than in the bathroom so you needed to turn on the light. Most of the fixtures were very dated and not nice. The layout of the hotel means it’s quite noisy as the rooms are around a central patio so you have people walking past or standing outside talking loudly, dragging suitcases etc. and there is no soundproofing as the door is made of glass. The hotel is right on the beach but at the far end next to a water channel that was quite smelly. It was not pleasant to sit on uncomfortable plastic chairs in this stinky spot. The hotel does not have any comfortable beach chairs, only plastic dining chairs which are not comfortable to relax. We spotted some loungers but were told by the employee that we were only allowed to use ONE PER ROOM. They only have 4 for the whole hotel! We quickly moved to a spot further away from the hotel in the middle of the beach which was more crowded but at least less smelly and we could use reclining chairs from one of the bars. Breakfast was decent. The rest of the time the hotel does not do food but you can order it from a beach bar and they will deliver. We didn’t try it as it took forever to get a couple of drinks so we moved to a different bar. Overall service was quite poor. A table with used breakfast dishes by the pool was left all day and not cleared at 5pm. Our room was not cleaned because we didn’t hang a ‘make up the room’ sign on the door. This was a misunderstanding on our part as it was mentioned in the long list of rules but it’s still rather unusual as a hotel policy. Barequeçaba is a quiet residential area of private upmarket holiday homes (lots of high walls and barbed wire) along a wide s

Pe na areia em Barequeçaba SP. Bom servico, a acomodaçao ref quarto que ficamos foi otima. Limpo, confortavel, ar digital, boa ventilacao, sem cheiro de mofo. Piscina muito boa, localizacao agradavel e servico de praia muito bom. Equipe simpatica.

Instalações merecendo alguns retoques. Café da manhã razoável. O quiosque supre razoavelmente as necessidades de apoio alimentação. Tv com pouca utilidade dada a pouca variedade de canais e a qualidade da imagem. Pé na areia. Acesso não asfaltado. Estacionamento.
