Calhau Praia Hotel

I just arrived at the hotel and I had a business video conference to join. Due to very poor WIFI I had to leave the hotel 30 minutes after my check in. I spoke with the hotel manager and he couldnt understand my problem and charged me a full day. I went to another hotel and I could work without any problem.

Location is amazing, only cross the street for the beach and easy for jogging and some open exercises. The breakfast wasn’t bad.

Old and not well maintained. I expected more and the workers do not support you in anything, kind of lack of kindness with the clients.

Nice location right opposite Calhau beach, with restaurants and jogging strip at the hotel's doorstep. But it would not be ideal if you are in town for business, as you will need to drive everywhere from the beach. Did not get chance to try the (smallish) swimming pool on the roof as it rained every day, but it looked nice with a great view of the beach. Brazilian style breakfast was nice for the first few days, but it got repetitive after a while - it was exactly the same every day.

Internet was poor - did not work the first two days of our stay, and then utterly unreliable all the way throughout, admittedly a very common problem in São Luís. We had to resort to using the signal from the restaurant opposite. Rooms were quite bare, not much in the way of decoration.
