Would strongly recommend this place!

I had a great time this hotel. The staff was super friendly and helpful. As an American, most people did not speak English, but I was still able to get everything I needed. Great location (across from the beach) and next to the square. And the free breakfast wasn’t bad either!

The location is perfect. But the beach is extremely crowded. Very dirty sand with trash and lots of people drinking and smoking.
Verified review

Nice room! Olivera, the bellman, was very nice and helpful. I think Olivera is his middle name. The staff are all very nice and helpful. All the bellmen, wait staff etc. Felipe and Eduvan at the buffet and bar are very nice and professional. Fabio was very nice, helpful and gave good advice on a special event going on. This was a nice gesture. He was a little stressed when we checked in but we did try to check in early so maybe that played a part in the stress.

Beach front not safe if you are a female alone I was travelling alone.I tried to not speak at all because I only speak English..I felt targeted when I asked three men to stop talking to me at the beachfront The pool at the hotel was lovely though 2 great English speakers.. Fertinand in the restaurant and front desk spoke great English very well and were helpful.Food at the restaurant was very well done. The price was very reasonable The locstion was great.

Great customer service at the front desk and at the housekeeping The hotel is very convenient and right on the Barra beach next to the lighthouse. Busy during the weekend right at the heart of the activities It is a bit dated and needs some repair and maintenance to make it prettier but everything works The restaurant food is good. There were things u can order separately from the buffet which is local dishes. Could have been told about it. Found out on the last day One thing I would warn is the tour agent in the hotel. She will tell you it is an English tour. And yes the tour guide does speak English but do not provide all the details that he provided to the Portuguese speakers. Abit disappointed by that There is a money exchanger across the road next to the ice cream shop. It is hidden behind a glass wall which is for safety. Better rates there for dollars Generally love the hotel and the location. And the staff are great and the palce is clean. The pool is also a great touch

My stay at the Grande Hotel da Barra was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality. The location is unbeatable—nestled right by the stunning Porto da Barra Beach, offering breathtaking ocean views that are worth every penny. I stayed in an ocean-view Luxury room on the top floor, and it was totally worth it! The views were simply breathtaking, and the room itself was spacious, clean, and comfortable. While the hotel could use some modern renovations, the room I had was just fine. The air conditioning worked perfectly, and I encountered no issues at all during my stay. Breakfast was incredible—a delightful mix of fresh tropical fruits, traditional Brazilian treats, and international options—all served with a picturesque view of the sea. It was the perfect way to start each day. I loved hanging by the pristine pool area, which was perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. Being directly across the street from the beach and within walking distance to so many fantastic restaurants, bars, and local attractions made the location even more ideal. The staff was incredible—always friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure I had a fantastic stay. Their helpful tips about local attractions and activities added an extra layer of enjoyment to my trip. I had the time of my life and can’t wait to return! If you're visiting Salvador and want a luxurious yet authentic experience, I wholeheartedly recommend!

My mom, sister, and I had an amazing eight-day stay at Hotel Grande de Barra. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed and cared for. Every single staff member was helpful, attentive, and genuinely kind, which made our experience even more special especially since we don’t speak the native language. The kitchen staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well-fed. They were so accommodating and warm that it truly touched us. Our room was spacious and clean, and anything we needed was handled promptly and with care. The personalized service made it hard to say goodbye, not just to the city, but to the hotel itself. It felt like leaving family. The hotel is not only beautiful and well-kept, but it’s also in the perfect location just steps away from two stunning beaches, close to great restaurants, and only a short drive to the main attractions in Bahia. Without a doubt, anytime I return to this area, I will always stay at Hotel Grande de Barra. The people, the views, the location, it’s all unforgettable. Minha mãe, minha irmã e eu tivemos uma experiência incrível durante os oito dias em que ficamos no Hotel Grande de Barra. Desde o momento em que chegámos, sentimos-nos bem-vindas e cuidadas. Todos os funcionários foram prestáveis, atenciosos e genuinamente simpáticos, o que tornou a nossa estadia ainda mais especial — especialmente por não falarmos a língua nativa. A equipa da cozinha foi incrível: foram tão acolhedores e disponíveis que ficámo

The rooms could certainly be cleaner. The staff at the restaurant and some of the staff at the front desk were nice but we did encounter a few people that did not demonstrate much interest in their guests. The facility is a bit old and needs some updates. The location is great and breakfast was amazing. Overall, not sure I would stay there again for the price. It didn’t quite feel worth the amount we paid for it.
