Novotel Recife Marina
Very nice hotel with lots of potential. I think it may be new and there are small amounts of professionalism and quality lacking. For instance I asked many times for small things in the room (more coffee pods or water) and staff forgot. The room service was slow. Only the front desk speak any language ...
