Members Latbear4blk Posted January 5, 2019 Author Members Posted January 5, 2019 Trip is over. Stay away from JetBlue. Again, we have a 4 hours delay. If interested, I just published a full report on my visit to Thermas Club 13 and some intelligence I gathered about the place. axiom2001 and Alaskabear 2 Quote
Members Latbear4blk Posted January 5, 2019 Author Members Posted January 5, 2019 I do not know why (probably my very much missed American grown weed) I had not posted the previous message yesterday, but instead saved it as a draft. What I did just post is a final evaluation on the three saunas in Salvador. axiom2001 1 Quote

I personally appreciate that you took the time while visiting a place of which you highly desired per previous posts and wrote and posted for the benefits of others. Muito obrigado!

I have never stayed there but I have been inside of it. It is very similar to the place where I stay. The location for what you are trying to do while there, the convenience and the price points are perfect. As long as visitors are allowed (check first because I don’t know), then you should have absolutely no complaints. If you do, then we are two completely different kinds of travelers. I will be in Salvador in July. Not sure where to stay. I prefer hotel. I would like to be close to beaches and the old town and the GP Saunas And I like Hotels with 4 stars and more. Any recommendations? Quote

He's a tour guide who previously had a website and received lots of great stars and rave reviews on TripAdvisor. ...fluent in English, gay, and comes highly recommended. He should be able to advise you. In fact, you might want to seek out his expertise in helping you with your itinerary. [I am not suggesting that you do this although he's an expert. I arranged his services (on my own accord) for two of my friends who visited Bahia a few years back; they were quite pleased.] Quote

Members davet Posted March 7, 2022 Members Posted March 7, 2022 The beaches are far away from the historical center, which is beautiful but changes block-by-block in terms of crime and danger. You cannot be close to both. Quote

There are buses as well as uber that will take you from the beach front area to the historical downtown area minutes away Latbear4blk 1 Quote

If you are staying by the beaches around the tip of the peninsula, the ride to the historic area is actually shorter than to the closest sauna, and very much shorter than riding to Fox. And he would probably find that Fox worths more visits than the City. floridarob 1 Quote
