Pousada Ogum Marinho — Hotel in Região Geográfica Imediata de Salvador

Adorable little Pousada located within walking distance of the beach. We enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness of the room, and more importantly it was a tremendous value for the price. Loved the great big bathroom and roomy shower. Breakfast was included each day and had a nice assortment of fresh fruits and meats/cheese....enough to carry you through until mid afternoon.||||Make sure you do not get a room near the restaurant (as we did at first). Outside Diners linger long hours into the night and will disturb you especially if you choose to keep your French doors open.

This is a very popular place for American and European tourists. In my opinion, it is the cleanest and nicest for this price range. There is also a safe for valuables. Not extravagant, but truly a simple, worry-free, and comfortable place to be in the lovely Eco-Village of...

The pousada couldn't be better located. It´s on the main road (and the only relevant one in Praia do Forte). All the bars, restaurants, shops, beach and Tamara Project (sea turtle preservation project) are literally 1 min way walking. || ||The pousada it self is very Brazilian style, very beautiful, with a nice pool area and a decent breakfast.

Ogum Marinho is one of a handful of Pousadas on the main street of Praia do Forte. It has an excellent location at the end of the street near the water and is tranquil despite being so close to the center of action. That said, you could probably do better for the same price in this lovely town. The rooms are dark and lacking in character and the only really good rooms have balconies facing in and looking over the pool. Other rooms have balconies facing alley ways and are dark. While we were there the internet did not work well and you can really only access it in the lobby. The staff people are not so friendly or helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this charming town and the Ogum Marinho was a...
