Grande Hotel da Barra

Location was good

I was really dissapointed by how we were treated by the staff there, after we booked two nights in this hotel. It was actually the most expensive hotel we stayed in, in our 2 weeks tour of Brazil and there was lots of building work and noise so couldn't really use the pool area. The breakfast was pretty limited and had a lot of types of food that were just not catered for the average customers but maybe only for the few locals. What was most disappointing is the way were were spoken to by the manager Reginaldo and his staff when we explained that there was nowhere in the room mentioned that we would need to pay for the water which as a result we thought was complimentary. The manager was rude and said we need to pay ( which was charged 4 times more expensive as the same bottle of water anywhere outside the hotel)
