Fodor's Expert Review Catussaba Resort Hotel

Alameda da Praia, Salvador, Bahia, 41600–460, Brazil

A longtime favorite among business travelers and families due to its close proximity to the airport and extensive facilities—including direct access onto the beautiful Itapuã Beach—this resort hotel could do with an overhaul. Lackluster decor aside, the hotel's tropical gardens remain well kept, the rooms are spacious and come with their own private terraces, and there is a large pool area for children. Make sure you opt for Catussaba Resort rather than its sister hotel, Catussaba Business, which is set a few blocks back from the beach.

PROS

  • direct access to the beach
  • ocean views
  • plenty of amenities

CONS

  • parts of the hotel are tired
