We stayed here for 2 nights before a cruise on the Amazon on Iberostar Grand Amazon Expedition. Rooms are fairly small but adequate for 2 people. Check in staff were friendly but not much English spoken. Make sure you have a translate app available to use if you don’t speak Portuguese. Same for all of Manaus in shops and restaurants because very little if any English is spoken. Room had a king bed, sofa, mini refrigerator, hair dryer, iron, ironing board, walk in shower (no tub), (no wash cloth so bring your own if you use one), body lotion, shampoo, shower gel and conditioner in dispensers and only a small bar of soap and shower cap as extra amenities. Very nice breakfast buffet with omelette/egg station, fruit, yogurt, cereals, breads and pastries as well as local foods such as cheese bread and fried plantains. All of the juices were really watered down and some of the fruit tasted like it had been previously frozen and those were the only two negatives. There is a lobby bar that has a limited sandwich and pizza menu and restaurant in the hotel is only open from 7pm for a few hours for dinner and a buffet is offered for about 80reales - we did not see what was on the buffet. There is also a pool and sauna and workout room. Only a very small kiosk in the lobby selling a few locally made necklaces and not a full gift shop. If you go out of the front entrance and turn right, there is a huge mall about a 3-4 minute walk that has many stores, a food court and several drug stores inside as well as a wonderful seafood restaurant right at the entrance to the mall - I will do a separate review on the restaurant - also there is a huge Carrefour supermarket almost behind the hotel - if you go through the mall and out the other exit and turn right you will see it. Or you can walk down the side street right before you get to the mall entrance and it will be at the end of that street on your right. Hotel is located in a more upscale area and 4-5 miles from the port - we felt safe walking between the hotel and short distance to the mall and grocery store. Would recommend this hotel. It is a little more basic than many in the US but much more amenities than the backpacker type hostels in...
Read moreA good location just outside of the city (15 minutes) and a 20 minute drive from the main dock for trips to the Amazon. It is near to a large shopping centre and within walking distance of a few restaurants and a supermarket. The hotel itself is pretty and the rooms are neat and clean enough. They have sufficient facilities, a comfortable bed and were generally quiet. The gym was well-equipped, cool and clean and perfect for a "spruce-up" workout. The best feature was the reception staff who were positive, friendly and very approachable. There was also a small table with free flavoured water and coffee (no milk). However, there are insufficient water top-up points (important for holiday go-ers) and our room had ants in the bathroom (on the 17th floor) despite all windows being kept shut. I would note that there is no "pool bar" - there is an area where a pool bar could be but it is not staffed and was empty of drinks. On two occasions we waited 10-15 minutes for someone to man the internal bar for a drink but no-one turned up. It also took 3 members of staff for coffee and milk to be topped up one morning at breakfast. Overall, it is a great hotel and I would recommend staying here for the cool, comfortable rooms and good location with friendly and kind reception staff. But if you want somewhere with facilities to relax at the hotel with a drink, we went to the hotel...
