Hotel Nord Luxxor Cabo Branco

Nord is a chain of hotels in this part of Brazil and we’ve stayed at other locations, and they were alright. This hotel used to be the Skyler Mar Hotel. It has been a Nord hotel for 6 years, but they still have the name of the old hotel on all the rooms (“Skyler Mar Hotel” see photo). I guess they haven’t had the time to take the old signs down. Strike one.
We were staying in the city for only one night for the Christmas holidays and the Nord Luxxor Cabo Branco Hotel was conveniently located near where we wanted to go.
We checked in and went up to our room and the first thing my wife and I noticed was that the room stunk of mold. It appeared that they tried to clean the room, based on the smell of cleaning supplies, but it didn’t do the trick. I went down to the receptionist to let her know that since I was only staying one night, I didn’t want to change rooms, but that they should be aware of the terrible odor in our unit. She offered to change our room, but I didn’t trust that the next room didn’t have the same problem. Strike two.
The room itself was a bit Spartan. The bathrooms did not have individual toiletries but rather, soap and shampoo dispensers on the wall, which I only expect to find in lower-end hotels (this hotel charges about the same as most of the hotels in the area, so the least they could do is give me a bar of soap or charge me less). Our room had a view of an airshaft, but I won’t complain since I didn’t choose to upgrade to a room with a view.
There was a lack of lighting fixtures in the room, so you either had to sleep with a bright light on or r

Very good accommodation. Good but simple breakfast. Don't recommend the sandwiches ordered from the Room Service. I got two sandwiches, one had the bread a bit old, the other had those industrial hamburgers. Íbis hamburguers are way better.

The shows takes a while to became hot, at restaurant last night was only one girl to attend telephone room service and guests at table, parking area is narrow for a big car, breakfast is complete.

Rooms are of good quality, air conditioning works well, staff are friendly and there is a pool and gym ☺

A very clean hotel for a place next to the ocean. Peacefull with a good shower and nice breakfast.
