Sofitel Guarujá Jequitimar Hotel 5 stars

Simply great. The hotel, the pool, the beach all excellent.

Amazing place! Friendly staff, good food and very comfortable!

We always enjoy staying at the hotel as a welcome distraction from Sao Paulo Capital. The staff are always friendly and we enjoy the location of the hotel and the Pernambuco beach. We would add that the internet connection is very poor and does not function. We were trying to complete some video calls for our sons home schooling, however this proved extremely difficult with the poor internet connection.

Everything was perfect!!!

Outstanding improvements in the lunch and dinner buffet, a very nice surprise for us! Facilities continue to be relatively well maintained despite the fact the is oceanfront. Covid-19 procedures are well thought of however social distancing must be better enforced in the restaurant and by the pool. The hotel must, must remove some sun loungers and increase the space between them. Similarly the hotel must increase the spacing between tables in the restaurant. Alcohol gel dispensers are very easy to find throughout the hotel. We are considering going back to Sofitel Jequitimar if the COVID-19 procedures are better enforced. Beyond Covid-19 we do recommend the hotel.

The hotel is nicely located. Service at the pool and at the restaurant Brisa could be better. Kid entertainers were great (Juan Welsey and Stefanie) provided great fun time for my kid. Covid adaptations were good - buffet adaptation got better toward the end (separation between dessert and main course tables). Though to avoid queues tapiocas and eggs should be served at the table. Finally, same rigor with the cleaning hands should be done at kids club - were no one oversaw when people got served, napkins were at the table, cutlery for dessert open, etc..

I am used to go the hotel. I love the experience. I was living abroad and came back this year to Brazil and after the hotel has opened again this is the second time I had been for the weekend. I see the difference in the service, espeaclly in the restaurant Brisa that got back to teh Sofitel Standard. Also, it is a small detail, but to receive a welcome package is important, this time was there, in my first stay this year I missed this little gift that means a lot.

I think further training is still needed to make sure protocols are followed by guests, specially in the restaurants

Post pandemic hotel not the same I understand the pandemic has changed things… But considering the cost I found the service to be very poor. From the moment we arrive the parking situation was very uncomfortable. The line to check in to go over one hour. On a Sunday afternoon. Only one Person was working. The time to process each guest was absurdly slow. I had also pre-registered all of my information and it still took over 20 minutes for me once I arrived at the desk. There was no help to bring the bags to our room. Yet surprisingly when we got to the restaurant buffet all the food was open. So much for safety. Other hotels have more protective material on the food… And significantly better service including the way and bag support. No was no help to bring the bags to our room.

If the Hotel wasn’t so expensive I wouldn’t have expectations. But the hotel continues to charge five star prices but unfortunately no longer offers a five star product.

I know the Jequitimar Hotel since 48 years... the old colonial style and the modern one. My only observation will be regarding a new "rule" which is not acceptable. When I booked for example 3 nights with breakfast and lunch included during 47 years I could use my "lunch right" at the day of arrival; i.e. arriving 13:30h having one of the three lunches and then going to the room at 15:00h. The new rule says that the guest cannot use one of his 3 lunch rights at the date of arrival but he has to use it at the date of departure...........? Everybody knows in Sao Paulo you must leave Guarujá before lunch in order to be not stuck in a terrific transit back home and the checkout time is 12:00h. - How to have lunch at 13:00h without available room afterwards? My opinion after 47 years normality someone is kidding with us - your Jequitimar guests!!

never had such a bad experience neither at sofitel chain nor jequitimar hotel

We have had an amazing time. I would like to acknowledge the people below. They have delivered an amazing service and make me and my family feel so well treated. Joao, Marcelo and Rosana - from de Restaurant Brisa Mauricio, Jean and Roberto -from bar thank you so much for all lovely service.

Where the Pandemic situation was concerned , everything was taken care of. However , the hotel had lacked in the comfort , curtains not closing , likage from taps in the bathroom, towels in bad quality n worn out . Complimentary coffee n tea machine were missing n 2 small bottles of water were insufficient . Hotel can definitely go with an upgrading , considering the room charges per day .

Congratulations!

Large rooms, great view, ammenities and infra over the average
