Catussaba Resort Hotel

This hotel needs to be modernized. The rooms are really old. The first one we got, It had terrible smell (humidity) and the air conditioner was leaking. The chairs had old stain all over it, the frigobar was full of rust and the bathroom really ugly. We had to check 2 other rooms before picking one; although the one we picked was horrible also. The common areas like the pool and the beach are great. Beautiful view, good service for beach umbrellas and recliners and cheerful entertainment staff. Good actitivies for kids and for the whole family. Is 10/15 minutes from the airport so for short stays is good. Is not a 4 star hotel; but if they modernize the rooms and improve the maintenance it could be.

Nice garden and swimming pool and easy access to a wonderful beach, Breakfast is excellent and staff are friendly. but rooms are poorly maintained and gym has few poor equipment and no air cond. There are option of restaurants within walking distance.

The outside area is great shame you cannot use the beach because the waves are too strong. The restauant is too expensive but the kids can eat there for free even if the parents don't eat there. The bedroons are old... they need to be refurbish, the furniture wood are smelling mold. But the swimming pool is quite big and clean, snacks are not so expensive also the beer, Facilities around a one walking from there, restaurants, supermarkets, chemist's etc.

Garbage all over the place, particularly around the swimming pools and beach; no signal for cable TV in the bedroom; water in bedroom shower was not heating up, my entire family had to take cold showers. Surreal to think this is an expensive ocean front resort. We will never come back. Lixo por todos os lados, particularmente na área de piscina e praia; sem sinal de TV a cabo no quarto; água do chuveiro do quarto não esquentava, toda a família tomou banho frio. Surreal pensar que este é um resort de beira de praia bastante caro. Nunca voltaremos.

Rooms - 2* Grounds of the hotel (pool, garden etc) - 5* Service - 5* Catussaba Resort Hotel is a lovely hotel and my "poor" review is only for their rooms, as they are in a dreadful state. When i booked this hotel i did see other people commenting saying that rooms need to be refurbished, but i never thought that they are that outdated. And it is a shame as the hotel itself is very nice, the staff is very friendly and accommodating, the pool is very nice and grounds of the hotel are beautiful. We stayed there one night as we arrived very late and had to move the next day. Saying that, we moved to Catussaba Suits - which is next door. And my suggestion for anyone who wants to stay there to do the same - stay in Catussaba Suits (newly build) and use the facilities of both hotels.
