The pool

“Beautiful & Worthwhile!”

I was thoroughly impressed by our stay in APART HOTEL SENSE II – We stayed in the above detailed property for 6 nights. The room is within the hotel but is owned by a private Landlord (strange but a common phenomenon known as “aparthotel”). The room itself is spacious, clean, tidy with large windows which let in lots of light (my favourite part). The bathroom was beautiful with a great shower and large mirror. I found the bed quite comfortable. The room itself is 10/10. The location is also quite good as it is not too far away from the main tourist centre and the Theatre. There are plenty of amenities within the hotel such as the rooftop Pool (it is beautiful), Sauna (you need to pre-request to use this), small Gym, Bar and Restaurant. The view from both the room and the pool was spectacular. There is breakfast available in the hotel for R$60.00 per person, with a large variety of different foods from cold meats to fresh breads and cakes, to juice, coffee, yogurts and fresh fruits. Dinner was also lovely, and the staff were, by far, the nicest people. Carlos at reception went above and beyond for us. He not only provided excellent customer service but also had the patience to list different/unique tourist attractions, answer all of our questions/queries and recommend trustworthy taxis/drivers. He deserves a raise. There is also a small convenient store/shop within the Hotel that is open until late and has all your basic needs such as water, sunscreen, snacks and much more.

“Great hotel! Comfortable room, good location”

The pool was under construction during our stay so we couldn’t use it. This was not mentioned on booking.com and the reception also didn’t tell us. They only told us after we asked because I read some previous reviews.

“Comfy bed but needs soundproofing”

Large bed that’s fairly comfy and very spacious apartment. Good air conditioning
