There was little to no cleaning of the room from staff, the power went out with no way for us to get into our room and the night staff member didnt have our keycard eventhough we left it with the day staff. Eventhough he did a good job managing things, he was on his own dealing with the majority. ...

Although we were warned that Salvador was a dangerous place, we did not experience anything that made us uneasy. There was a visible police presence that made us feel safe.

If you are from the northern hemisphere, consider bringing a small sun parasol for extended touring on foot; also sunscreen.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

You have to be careful as a tourist in Brazil in general. You have to be aware of your surroundings and to not make yourself a target for thieves. Traffic in Salvador is crazy, motor bikes and people are crazy drivers.

5/5 - Excellent
