Hotel 5-Star di Pernambuco, Brazil

The stay was fine—nothing to write home about. But let’s be clear: this is five-star in theory only. Charging guests for coffee in the morning? Bold move. Nothing says “luxury experience” like being nickel-and-dimed for a cup of instant caffeine. Honestly, I’ve stayed at roadside motels with more generous hospitality. Maybe next time they’ll start charging for tap water too—just to keep the five-star illusion alive.

We stay in this resort only 3 nights and despite offering a good space with various leisure areas, several restaurants with buffet to wish, food stations spread over the resort, lunch station during the morning, and activities throughout the day, Considering the price we believe that some aspects could improve. When we arrived in the room the cleaning was not very good (seen in the photos) and we thought they could have more than one activity rolling at the same time for different tastes and forever have something available to do. Despite this, it seemed to be an amazing environment for families where children also have activities all day. When we passed through them and monitors they seemed to be super attention, extremely patient and children enjoying fun!

The Samoa Resort is located in a beautiful location, with beautiful landscapes and a perfect beach. The weather was good, even though we went in winter. There are pools of various depths, a bar, a gym and leisure facilities for use on the beach at no additional cost. The decor of the Resort is very beautiful, with a huge ceiling right at the entrance that makes for great photo opportunities. However, there were a few issues that made our experience not up to par with that paradise: 1- since the daily rate was half board (breakfast and dinner), there were lines to get into the restaurant both in the morning and at night. 2- a lot of noise in the hallways, with children screaming and running around every night until late. 3- few people cleaning and tidying the rooms. 4- the children's entertainment was done in the middle of the adults. 5- access to the hotel is via a very poor road. Our conclusion: if you don't have children and want a little more peace and quiet, this might not be the right Resort for you.

Their food was the highlight. Breakfast and dinner were included. Lunch was at your own expense. Room was also very clean and comfortable. There were lots of places to play in the public area. There were three restaurants
