Rede Andrade Bello Mare
Atrios Beach Hotel
Construction was done cheap and very poor quality. rooms are too noisy to sleep. One receptionist said he could switch me to one of the other properties. However, it never happened because he needed authorization from manager, and there was no manager on site.
