Manary Praia Hotel

I have traveled a lot around the world, and Manary Praia Hotel was one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. Maybe a bit too romantic and cozy for a typical business stay, but very comfortable, with super friendly staff. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to properly enjoy the hammock on the balcony with ocean view. Excellent breakfast and an amazing hotel restaurant next to the pool with ocean view and high quality dishes and drinks with a local flavor.

WiFi was very fast when it worked but the connection was not always stable. My Portugese was insufficient to communicate smoothly with the super friendly lady at breakfast... the advantage was that I got to explore a few surprising breakfast options beyond my normal choices :-)

This place is fantastic. The rooms are super cute, the common areas such as the pool and the restaurant are amazing, the restaurant food is also fantastic. The staff is super attentive, and I had the best time there. There is also Sheyla, the cute reception cat. No flaws.

The staff are the best, especially the woman serving us breakfast. Reception was great. The room was kept clean. The restaurant is awesome. Our colleagues all came there to join us. Thanks for having vegan choices. We had a nice view of the ocean, right in front of us.

Have a blanket or two handy for the beds, as it is not easy to keep the A/C from getting too cold. It would be nice to have a free bottle of water each day, robes and slippers would be great. Maybe stick to Brazilian music? It was sometimes too loud, but maybe that's the bar below.

Great facility.

Single travelers are completely invisible here. Don't bother. Food? Drink? Forget it! You will be made to feel most unwelcome. First I've experienced this in 30+ years. This place is too expensive to be treated like that.
