Hotel Aconchego

The location of the hotel was in a secure zone

The customer service is really bad

The staff is great, very helpful, service oriented.

The facilities were good but do need some minor maintainance.

This hotel is at a great location, about 15 minutes from the airport, the cab ride is around $24 reais. There is a transfer included if you book through booking.com but you have to call days before to confirm. The staff are super nice and they speak english well, Breno helped us a lot at the front desk. The breakfast is amazing, lots of fruit, breads, cakes, cheeses and ham, also the typical meat (carne de sol) and "macaxeira"(yuca). There is also someone (Josi is her name) preparing omelets, "tapioca" just outside by the pool where we eat breakfast. The bar at the pool is open 24 hours and there's a nice lounge at the second floor. The city tour Recife-Olinda was great!! Leandro from the travel agency at the hotel helped us with that.

The rooms are spacious, the bathrooms are ok, I would suggest some renovations for the bathroom but overall this hotel is still a great deal for the price. The air-conditioning system is good and their pillows are very soft, goose feather. The food price is a little overpriced but there is a "padaria" or coffee-bread place around the corner from the hotel where you can get bread and sandwiches for half of the price. The padaria also sell beer, sodas, milk, cookies and have lunch during the day. The hotel is also near by a shopping mall, about 6-7 blocks west, the mall is very nice and food is very good. The beach is about 3 blocks east...super nice and convenient! I would definitely recommend this hotel for families with kids and couples.
