Recife Hotels with Gym

The rooms are beautiful, especially if they are on the upper floors. The service is of quality. The swimming pool is small but we are on the sea.

Ennia was super nice since the moment we arrived at the restaurant. Service in general was great and food really good. The space is beautiful with a great view of the Atlantic Ocean. Food variety in the menu was very satisfying and I have no complaints at all.

The hotel is in a good location, on the seafront, but the service at the reception left something to be desired, there were several problems with my room and no one could resolve them and they even said if I wanted I could cancel, which doesn't matter to him. But since I bought it with Trips, they didn't solve anything and even said if I had bought it with them it would be easier.

I actually booked this hotel by accident (I was looking at their sister hotel, the Marante Plaza Hotel, which is right on the beach for basically the same price). This hotel is 2 blocks from the beach in the same neighborhood. Despite “Executive” in the name, this is more of a budget-to-midrange hotel. The lobby is very attractive and the exterior of the hotel is also nice. The hotel staff are pleasant and helpful. They have valet parking in the front (for a very reasonable price). Breakfast is included and is decent. The room we stayed in had a partial view of the ocean. It was sparsely decorated. What I really didn’t like was the bed: We requested a double bed, but it was actually just 2 single beds shoved together. 1 plus 1 may equal 2, but 2 single beds don’t equal a double bed. I like to sleep in the middle of the bed, so I just kept slipping into the space between the beds. The pillows were possibly the most uncomfortable I’ve ever slept on. If it wasn’t for that, I’d have given them a better score.

The location is facing the sea, about 10 minutes by taxi from the shopping mall. The front desk can speak English and is willing to help. They gave me a room at 12 noon and helped me call a taxi to the airport. It happened to be October 2nd, the day of the Brazilian presidential election, so it was difficult to call a taxi. The breakfast was average, but everything else was OK.

The hotels in Recife all seem to be pretty utilitarian, and Hotel Manibu Recife is no exception, but it offers very good value compared to some other hotels that are quite similar. For $50 USD a night my room was clean and functional, with a small view of the ocean through some buildings. The lobby is nicely decorated but the attached restaurant is drab. The rooftop pool area has a nice view but is rather small. The point of all these qualified statements that I am making is that basically, for $50 a night you are getting a clean room with a utilitarian bathroom and shower, which is a pretty good deal for the area. My room at the Radisson was basically the same (minus the balcony at the Radisson) but cost twice as much. Some high points to the Hotel Manibu are that the front desk clerk spoke excellent English, and there is a good restaurant called Entre Amigos on the beach in close walking distance. A low point of this hotel is that I did not see any other restaurants open in close walking distance (others have said there are some, but I walked around and didn't see anything open besides Entre Amigos). Anyway, if you don't want to pay top dollar for a hotel on the seafront this is a very reasonable choice.

The hotel is very comfortable and the hotel is very comfortable.

Bem localizado em frente a praia de boa viagem, café da manhã bem variado, só não gostei da demora no chegada pra fazer o check in nosso quarto não estava pronto ainda , mais de resto foi bem agradável

The hotel on the whole is ok, I had no major problem. The room is of decent size, adequately furnished; the bathroom perhaps a little small. The day-to-day cleaning is ok (the cleaning ladies are very nice), however my room was in need of a special cleaning, as there were corners and things with encrusted dirt (the window, the hairdrier plug, ...). I had no problem with the internet connection. Breakfast is standard for a Brazilian hotel, no issue about that. The restaurant serves a buffet dinner of rather ordinary quality, but it is cheap. Of course the location is great, in front of the Boa Viagem beach, especially if you have a seaview, which I did not have. A few good restaurants at a walking distance. Spent 285 reais per night, not on the cheap side for an altogether average experience.

This facility formerly belonged to the Best Western Hotel chain, and they still adhere to Best Western standards. Very professional staff with a pleasant, customer-oriented and proactive attitude, caring and always with a smile. On arrival I was immediately offered a glass of water. All my requests were carried out instantly within minutes. The breakfast buffet offers a good variety of choices for Brazilian standards, even if the cooked components were pretty much the same every day. Very attentive, skilled and respectful restaurant staff. Cleanliness was just perfect. Very friendly and helpful housekeeping.
