Regency Barra Hotel
Swimming pool is very small. It is across the road from the beach. The rooms are nicely air conditioned. Staff don’t have much of a personality. They are not bad but not great either. Overall reasonably clean. They have a feet sand washer in the front which is nice when you finish the beach before ...

Windsor Marapendi
the room was nice but a little dated. There was a small makeup mirror that was not cleaned the entire time even though I left it out. The beach was nearby and that was amazing. I was there for a work meeting and everything was great for that.
