The hotel surroundings are beautiful. Staff very helpful and polite. The rooms needs to be updated. Sauna does not work and it looks disgusting. We called to change a light bulb in the bathroom a night before we were to check out and nobody ever came in. We called twice. The breakfast was a very nice buffet and plenty of... More

Distances in Salvador are huge and a taxi ride from the city centre to Itapua can take 50 minutes. But this place is just a 15-20 minute taxi ride from the airport, so convenient for people who need to fly early the next day (or who arrive in Salvador tired and don't want a long taxi ride to their destination)....

This is a small resort very close to the airport and also not far from Salvador downtown. It's not the best you can get over there, but the relation cost x benefit is throughly very good - specially for New year's Celebrations. More

Words cannot describe the beauty and warmth of the Catussaba Hotel. My love and I spent 8 days in there... Paradise. Each morning, we'd awaken to birds singing, and the sounds of the ocean... Paradise. The outdoor restaurant, complete with its fine food (we highly recommend the buffet), and the view?... Paradise. The beach took our breaths away, absolutely beautiful...... More

The grounds and setting are amazing! The beach is great to walk at low tide. The rooms, however, are absolutely horrible. The furnishings are very old; the beds are ancient; the rooms are dark and dingy. There is one dim sconce to light the whole bedroom area -- no lights on the nightstands. The fitness center is a joke. I... More

Arguably a bit friendlier than the nearby Stella Maris, it also is A bit overpriced by the usual NA standard for lower end resort quality. There is nothing within walking distance. Good wifi, OK buffet. More

This hotel is located directly on the beach in Salvador Brasil. The location is a bit outside of the city, which I totally prefer. It is a quiet location and a perfect retreat away from the craziness of urban Brasil. The pools and wait staff are out of this world and make this place so awesome in my mind. Very... More

The disguising and deceiving kindness of the front desk staff it's not enough to compensate the unbelievable poor quality of this place. An inadeguate air conditioning system makes almost impossible to sleep at night unless you've served a long career as navy officer in a submarine. Never experienced such a noise even during an flight landing during a storm. The... More

I stayed here for 5 nights, including the weekend, in September 2010 with a colleague while on business in Brazil. I would not recommend staying at the Catussaba, but I must say that with a disclaimer that I have not stayed at any other hotels in the Salvador area. Pros: It's on the beach. That's about it... Cons: The pool... More
