Transamerica Prestige Beach Class International

the weather was amazing from 8 days I was in Pernambuco only Saturday was thunder storm heavy rain, the room was amazing on 28 floor, the views was so good, the recife taxi drivers situated near hotel, sundays taxi drivers take day off, the breakfast was good, The hotel costumers mostly have bussines persons for Brazilian companies, have some tourists from USA,Rio de na Janeiro, SanPaulu, Minas Gerais, from Europe few.

It's a mixed property, hotel and local owners in the same building. I would qualified as a solid 3* ... that's about it ... last but not least the Fitness Center is a complete joke for the size of the building.

Had a nice stay. Good view of the ocean. Good breakfast and WiFi. The area is a bit dangerous. Not a lot close by to walk to.

We book this hotel because it are close to the beach (Boa Viagem), but when we arrived there, we can't swim in the beach because it is infested of sharks. So, we tried to go to swim in the hotel pool but the water was cold because the pool is under shadow all day (shadows from anothers buildings or from transamerica itself). Another down point is the area, many people said that was not safe to walk in the nigth (inclusive a few blocks close). And the front desk services is very slow too. At the end, call this hotel a "Beach Class Hotel" isn't realistic.

If you are looking to relax and wake up to amazing views of sunrise, yet be in a central location, minutes to local attractions, this is the hotel for you! Hotel staff was very helpful and friendly and the variety of menu choices at the buffet breakfast was great. I will definitely choose this hotel again for a cozy vacation!
