Dedicated to São Francisco de Assis, the church is one of the best expressions of Baroque architecture in Brazil, it is an endless number of statues, angels and gold, a lot of gold!

Very good experience.

Sauipe Alla Terra is a comfortable, very clean and tidy resort, with its facilities maintained and cared for. While the staff are excellent, there is no one who speaks another language, in our case Spanish, to exchange information and advise us on any questions. They only speak their own language and don't show much concern for making themselves understood. Very good service in all areas. The restaurant that operates does not have international cuisine; most of its dishes are for the palate of locals.

Operator response

Agradecemos sinceramente por compartilhar sua experiência conosco. Ficamos felizes em saber que apreciou a estrutura, a limpeza e o atendimento prestado por nossa equipe. Esses são pontos que valorizamos muito e trabalhamos continuamente para manter. Lamentamos, no entanto, que tenha enfrentado dificuldades com o idioma e na comunicação. Reconhecemos a importância de ter colaboradores preparados para atender hóspedes de diferentes nacionalidades, especialmente em um destino tão procurado como o nosso. Em relação ao restaurante, agradecemos pela observação sobre o cardápio. Vamos avaliar a possibilidade de incluir opções mais voltadas à gastronomia internacional, buscando atender melhor a diversidade de paladares dos nossos visitantes.

Bad experience

The tour guide was very good. The complaint is that the vendors do not speak Spanish and do not make the effort to understand. I booked a tour to Dos Frases and they did not confirm it and I could not make it. In addition, the app with which I pay for a tour made the payment day after day and they did not return my money. Every day claiming, I am back and I still don't have the refund. Unnecessary wear and tear. But worst of all, they are tour operators and their staff speak very little Spanish! They don't provide a good service

Operator response

Estimada señora, Agradecemos sus comentarios. Revisamos su proceso e identificamos que deseaba un recorrido por las islas solo con Frades y eso no lo tenemos en nuestro portafolio. Nuestro tour está completo, es decir: Frades e Itaparica y usted reservó para el domingo y luego pidió cancelar. Toda la comunicación se realizó por WhatsApp en español. También identificamos que te gustaría hacer el tour Bahía en la noche, pero la discoteca sólo tenía show el miércoles, pero tú saldrías el martes, es decir: incompatible. Respecto a la devolución del pago duplicado, la misma se realizó exitosamente el día 23 de abril y también te fue enviado el comprobante por WhatsApp. Generalmente, hay un tiempo para que el banco internacional acredite la cuenta del cliente, un promedio de 3 días hábiles. Le sugerimos acudir a su banco con el recibo después de este plazo si el mismo no está acreditado. Quedamos a su disposición. Gestión de Alltour

Good experience and fully in Spanish

Viviana met us punctually at the airport and we were taken in a comfortable van to the hotel to the two of us alone!! Very good service, then we took an excursion to San Salvador, the guide well, until the guide Gabriel took us to a restaurant to get killed with the price, a tourist hunter. 230 reais a plate of food and two refreecos, which I had to share with my partner. Except that the bus very comfortable, punctual, and then we were picked up to take to the airport satisfactorily even before the agreed time The only thing that tarnished my 5-star rating was the tourist hunting lunch (colossal in case it's called the restaurant, don't go). Viviana always attentive in the 7 days of stay, thank you!!
