Confortável sem ser pretensioso.
Pros:

A própria suite, o espaço, bom gosto na decoração, tudo novinho, AC que funciona bem, tudo limpo. O chuveiro é ótimo! A atendente Carol, do from desk, foi excepcional!

Cons:

Falta de um canto de cozinha com o mínimo, fica na grande avenida e não tão perto da praia.
Recepção remota.

Very good - and would recommend to others
Pros:

Great location - close to beach, amenities and modern decor

Cons:

Staff at AMI resort a little unhelpful with early check in. Despite rooms being ready - would not allow early check in. We had a very small baby, there was a storm and we were left stranded.

Pros:

This property was a pleasant surprise. The rooms are more spacious than we expected. The decor was excellent, with nice updates everywhere, and a comfortable bed. It’s walking distance from the beach and several good restaurants.

Pros:

The room was nice and clean, adequate sleeping space / beds. Needs additional mirrors besides the one over the vanity in the bathroom. Needs more ,lighting and the air conditioning was not adequate for sleeping,we were all hot and tossed and turned till after midnight due to the hot stuffy room. Also there is no ice available at the facility and a very small fridge in the room with very little stirage space.There is no closet to hang clothes either,there was a coat rack which would hold 4 items and it was broken.

Cons:

See above please

It was a very cute room. Good location, easy access.
Pros:

Good location, very nicely decorated. Very nice soaps and shampoo, conditioner and lotion.

Cons:

The bed. It was creaky, needs a new mattress. For all the money they spent on everything else they dropped the ball on the bed.

Gorgeous beach vacation
Pros:

It is clearly newly renovated. The fixtures are all new and I appreciate hard flooring for a beach vacation. There is a fridge in the room which I wasn’t able to tell from the original listing. Great location a short walk from the beach.

Cons:

The only struggle is parking BUT you can absolutely park for free in the grass across the steeet you just have to have all 4 tires fully out of the road and be facing the same way as traffic flows.
