About

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this property won't accommodate you.
- Limited dining on site — There's a bar/lounge and coffee shop, but no full restaurant; guests eat out at the many nearby options.
- Facilities rated lower than other aspects — The Facilities score (7.5) is the weakest category, suggesting the building and shared spaces show some wear.
- Street-facing rooms may pick up noise — Being on a main avenue across from the beach, some rooms could hear traffic or beach activity.

Getting around Joao Pessoa
The property sits in Joao Pessoa.
Tambau Beach: Directly across the avenue, this is the main draw — fine sand and a lively promenade.

Sorveteria Friberg: An ice cream spot minutes from the hotel, great for a post-beach treat.
