Arena Leme Hotel

The hotel is very good. The stuff speaks perfect English, which is rear in Brazil. The breakfasts is the best I have ever had - every morning freshly baked pastries, fresh fruit, variety of juices, everything you can dream of. We had view of the beach, so it was amazing. The room was good size. The hotel has its own beach, you can use umbrellas and chairs for free.

Couple of the days the cleaning cru came to clean the room around 5pm when we were just coming back form the beach. The buggiest negative was the stuff that manages the beach. The guy would not put the chairs and umbrellas until after 9:30. The first day we went to the beach we brought our own water and he told us we have to buy the drinks from his beach bar ( he does the beach management for Arena on the site ) or if we bring our own we have to pay for the chairs and the umbrella. I asked the hotel and they said this is absolutely incorrect. Until at least noon he will be cranky, not friendly at all. One of the mornings we went to the beach, it was very hot. He had all the chairs set up and was putting up the umbrellas. There were about 6 or 7 rows of chairs, and he had started putting the umbrellas form the back forward. We took the first row of chairs, the closest to the wetter, he saw us standing there, was VERY hot, pretended did not see us and continue putting umbrellas on the back. I had to go and ask him to give us an umbrella, he did not even look at me, came and put the umbrella with such attitude like it was my fault he has to work that day. I would recomend the Arena hotel to think about replacing this guy, he gives the hotel bad name, which other than this is absolutely amaizing. Given that people book these hotels for the beach and spend most of their time on the beach, it is kind of important to have a friendly stuff there to make the stay plesurable and not frustrating one.

Perfect location and very nice staff
