About

Hotel Vicino Al Mare - Frente Mar

Hotel Vicino Al Mare - Frente Mar sits right across from the beach in Guaruja, putting the sand and sea within a minute's walk. The 36 rooms are spread over a compact property, and many look out over the ocean. On-site facilities cover the essentials and more: a restaurant, plunge pool, sauna, Turkish bath, and a hot spring bath. Free parking and Wi-Fi come as standard, and pets are welcome.

The hotel's position is its main draw — guests consistently praise the beachfront location and the value of having parking and Wi-Fi included. There's a children's play area and kids club if you're travelling with family, and the Acqua Mundo aquarium is about 950 metres away. The atmosphere is straightforward and service-led, with staff frequently singled out in reviews.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Value for money questioned — One guest felt the price (R$360 per night for a double) was high for a room described as basic.
  • Mixed comfort ratings — Comfort scored lower than other categories, suggesting some guests found the beds or room conditions underwhelming.
  • Compact property — With only 36 rooms, the hotel is small — which suits a quiet stay but may feel limited if you expect resort-style space.

“Good location, but at R$360 per night for a double room it felt overpriced for the quality, which was basic to say the least.”
