I had a mixed experience at Hotel Apartamentos Gaivota. The rooms were very spacious, almost too spacious, with a little balcony on the street side, but overlooking building work next door in a gloomy courtyard. The living room was large with a table for 6 and a small but complete kitchen, yet the atmosphere felt soulless with white walls and bedding, lacking any color.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though small, offered a fascinating view of the harbor, where the 'mini bar' was supposed to be in my room. The service was excellent, with helpful staff available on all shifts. The location was convenient, near restaurants and within walking distance of key sights in the city. However, the dining options had a limited selection, and the facilities lacked additional amenities.

The hotel offers spacious rooms with an ocean view, complete with a kitchenette, resembling a hotel suite with a bedroom, lounge, kitchen, and large bathroom. However, the rooms are starting to show their age and could benefit from a remodeling. The lack of sufficient cooking utensils was a minor inconvenience.

Rooms

8.0

The rooms are a little bit old and need a remodeling. They are well-equipped with an ocean view and a kitchenette, feeling more like a hotel suite with separate living areas. However, there weren't enough cooking utensils available.

Service

9.0

The service was excellent, with friendly and attentive staff. The housekeeping was good, and the location was very central, close to the lively pier area. If you prefer a softer bed, you can request a foam pad for added comfort.

Location

9.0

The location is perfect, especially if you have a car. The hotel is convenient for walking to nearby attractions and sightseeing spots, located on the waterfront. Parking downtown can be challenging, so it's advisable to check with the hotel for options.
