This hotel is located on a beautiful beach, offering a relaxing coastal vibe. There are a couple of restaurants nearby, though options for a decent supermarket or buffet-style dining are limited. Our room was spacious, with a cozy balcony that provided a lovely sea view. The air conditioning worked well, and the refrigerator was pleasantly quiet. While the shower could have been a bit hotter, it was still serviceable. The reception staff were friendly, helpful, and available 24/7, which made our stay even more comfortable. Breakfast was enjoyable, with a good variety of options. One standout feature of the hotel is its inviting common area, equipped with sofas, tables, a kettle, and a coffee maker—perfect for relaxing or socializing. The large balcony area, complete with sun loungers, is ideal for soaking up the sun. Overall, a great spot for a beachside getaway!

The place is superior. The room we initially booked was quite good, but we had a problem with the safe. I personally only expected a similar room, but we got an UPGRADE for FREE. For the entire stay, we could enjoy a bigger room with a jacuzzi. The place itself is cozy. The staff is amiable and professional: they addressed our needs throughout the whole stay, and even when we had a medical emergency, they calmly helped out, and then directed us to the nearest emergency point. Also, breakfasts there are something else. We didn't get lucky with the weather, but I imagine Praia Joaquina is stunning when it is sunny. Also, there are a lot of sandboard facilities and dunes nearby. 9.5 out of 10, would absolutely stay again.

The only suboptimal thing about the hotel is the location. Praia de Joaquina is great - WHEN the weather is good. But on the flipside, if you ever need to go out, or require anything beside the very basic facilities (like a drug store), the nearest is about 20 minutes by car. So, if something happens at night, the only thing you can do is order an Uber. Other then that, however, all is great.

The view is spectacular. The price was very reasonable.

There was construction so it wasn't completely clean.

We loved the location and even it was a little bit far from the centre there is public transportation that is really easy to use or uber. During the day there are several places where to eat and drink (caipiriñas in the local near to the hotel were great!) The staff was really helpful and nice, they were always helping to each question we have and have a lot of recommendations. The breakfast was amazing, but like we were 9 days kind we saw always the same things so at the end you can get bore a little bit of the same. But anyway, has several options which is good!

That’s my second time staying at Cris Hotel and I must say the location is the main reason why we chose this hotel. It’s one of my favourite beaches in Floripa so no wonder I like staying here. Staff are extremely friendly, big shout out to Igor who was so helpful and gave great tips about nearby tourist places.

At night there is a restaurant nearby that turns into a big party between midnight till 5am that plays really loud music so we couldn’t sleep during our stay. I’m not sure how often they do that but I remember the first time wasn’t like this. I had to use noise cancelling headphones so I could fall back asleep.

Great people, easy access to town

The overall booking procedure was a bit of a frustration. I wanted to book two rooms but accidentally booked three. Trying to cancel the third booking was extremely difficult and put both myself and the hotel manager in a difficult position. It would be nice if the booking process allowed for cancelation as easily as it is to book a room

Rafa and the other receptionist were very friendly and informative.

The plastic table in the room was a little tacky.

The staff is AMAZING. They are so friendly, we felt like in our home. Those guys are so nice and kindly.. They helped us for literally everything. The hotel is maybe not the best on the world, but those guys are for sure. Felipe, Igor and Alisson... made this trip unforgettable, and because of them we will come back for sure. The hotel is on the beach. Rooms are nice and really clean. The bathroom is huge, comfortable and made of nice materials. The breakfast was amazing, all-you-can-eat with a lot of different food and natural juices.

The art on display makes this a very cool hotel. I understand the manager is an artist and her art is so interesting and adorns the walls of the hotel that makes it so interesting. Also there is a piano in the bar area which I really enjoyed playing. This made it easy for me to meet new people and made the whole thing a unique experience.

Nothing.

Amazing location, comfortable but not fancy. And Joaquina has the best beach with minimal tourist infrastructure

Be aware there is no restaurant in the hotel for dinner, so you have to either eat in or go looking…
