Gran Hotel Atlantis Bahia Real

Our favourite and totally chilled. Plus you can walk or get a taxi into town. Fave town with music while you eat and drink. The music town and a 5* hotel with a pier with a cool bar and restaurant and another with v nice beds. Nice people too.

A few pros and cons from our trip. Pros .lovely pool with great sun loungers. .fresh towels every morning. .quite location but close enough to get to town. .lovely outdoor hot tub located near the spa which always seemed quiet. . Good wifi reception. . Nice beach front location but almost impossible to access the sea as it's very rocky. . Lovely Indoor gym. Cons . Do not order the gin 72. The waiter will recommend it to you, like he did to us and overheard doing to other couples. But at €15 a pop its double the price of the other spirits!! 'Tastes like Bombay Sapphire' he said. Cant help but feeling he hotel is being very sneaky here. Be wary!! . Do not go all Inclusive. The town is only an €8 round trip and you can get double your moneys worth their. We had a 3 course dinner with 2 cocktails for 2 people cheaper than the cost of the hotel buffet which is €41pp. ( not including their gin 72 ) . We ate in the Japanese restaurant in the hotel one night. The claim to have vegan and veggie options but then cook the veggie dishes in the meat fat. They did this right infont of us on the hot plate. Gross! Not ideal! . If like us your only bed and breakfast but get peckish mid day there is no where to sit outside. I learned this one day when the waiter made a scene by the pool and told me to go back to my room with a sandwich I had brought down. First of all, how embarrassing. Secondly, people should be able to order light snacks and enjoy them without having to 'go back to their room'. Their is a lovely outdoor pergola which is currently unused. I would suggest they put some chairs and tables their. . For the amount the hotel costs, a courtesy bottle of water each morning wouldnt gave gone a miss. . The maids also disturbed us at silly hours. Trying to come into our room before 9am on some occasions then wating to turn down our beds at 6pm as we had just started to get ready for the evening.

Just spent 9 nights at this wonderful hotel. In all honesty I am struggling to find anything at all negative. From the welcome and the bell boy who went out of his way to suggest things to do to the pool towel attendent.. all so friendly and accomodating. Room was sea view junior suite and it was perfect. Sunrise/sunset just amazing. Food was amazing in buffet ..we didnt get to eat in other restaurants..tried twice but fully booked so make sure you book in advance. Pool area immaculate.. plenty of loungers not at all crammed in. All in all we had a wonderfully relaxing break. Most days we walked the most beautiful beach I have ever seen which is 10/15 mins left out of hotel across national park. A must see. The beach area the hotel sits on is lovely ..but not the easiest access to sea..but its not a downside at all given the miles of golden sands just minutes away. I highly recommend this hotel and we will certainly be back
