Pousada Marcos
If you have lived in Brazil this place will be great. If you haven't you might want to stay away. This place has the best location right on the beach. Just beware that the street lights don't turn off at night and people are up late and then others are up really early and aren't quiet. The AC worked ...

Monte Pascoal Praia Hotel
Staff were friendly, professional, and on top of everything. I was very happy with our room with the view of the ocean. There was quite the assortment for breakfast (I miss those pão de queijos)! It’s close to pelourinho, a mall, and other popular districts. Highly recommended this hotel!
