I always wanted to stay at Tambaú Hotel. The hotel is considered to be a post card of the city and I was curious about how it would be from the inside. The rooms are quite old dated, but are spotless and all the other shared spaces are quite clean and neat. You have the ocean bumping at your window,... More

Very nice infra, two pools near the beach. Mid size room low equipped, old tv set, no room sound system. Silent air conditioned. Ask for a Remodelled room facing the sea. Don't accept old stink ones. The beach is 20 meters from the hotel door. Its a very calm, no waves beach. The medium temperature allong the winter is about... More

We have stayed in this hotel on several occasions and have given it good to average reviews depending on the room. The hotel is in a good location on the beach at Joao Pessoa near all the restaurants and beach facilities. Unfortunately on this occasion we had a disastrous experience. We were located around rooms 460 as a large family... More

A good hotel for big events, service/apartments are OK too. On the downside: the beach where the hotel is placed is not a good place for swimming/diving, since there is too much sand in the water. Also, the wi-fi is not free, and is not available in the apartments (at least not in the one where I stayed).

There is a large swimming pool, good even for children and the elderly. Good breakfast, with regional food, juices and fruits. Friendly and efficiente staff. Secure area, with policemen... More

This hotel is located in the best region of the city and it's not far from the best beaches in the states. If you don't like the beach, don't worry!

The food is great and the price is fair, sometimes cheaper if compared to other hotels in the region. The service is good and the staff is very friendly. Last time I went there (January 2012) I...
