Paraiso Palace

This was our first time in Canasvieiras. We decided to leave until the last minute to book our accommodation for 2 nights. The price was reasonable and the room was comfortable with fridge, cable TV, air conditioning, microwave, a sink, a small desk, a wardrobe, and a safe. The bathroom was reasonably big and with a good shower. The staff was helpful and friendly. The breakfast wasn't brilliant. It had a small selection of cakes, breads, cold meats, 2 options of cereals, hot sausages on tomato sauce and scrambled eggs. To drink the options were coffee, tea, milk and not freshly squeezed juices, something that you would expect on such a popular beach holiday destination in Brazil. The hotel reception and hallway is quite big, with chairs, sofas and a TV where you could read a book, watch TV and relax. The hotel had other facilities such gym, sauna and swimming pool, although we did not use it. One of the big positive points for us was the location of the hotel: It is a very short walk to the beach (2 minutes) yet it was right in the centre of town where all the facilities could be found, such as restaurants, supermarkets, ice cream shops, bars, etc etc. The hotel has parking on site, but it is best to confirm with the hotel beforehand because as far as I could see there was around ninety rooms in the hotel, but it certainly did not have ninety parking spaces. The negative points were: - The individual room air-conditioning system is old, antiquated and noisy; - The room mini fridge was very noisy; - I had to turn both of them during the night in order to get some sleep. - The TV as very small (maybe a 14-inch), CRT (Not flat screen) which also made some background noise due to poor cable connection or something of the sort; - The room wasn´t very clean: Upon arrival we found hair on the surfaces; - The bed clothing and towels looked very old worn out. Overall, a pleasant and peaceful stay: Staff were friendly, helpful and polite. The hotel overall was good but the rooms could do with a fresh up 21st century style.
