I am making decisions. I am abandoning my previous thread and starting this new one. The biggest decision is made, I am going to Salvador. I found a package that includes flight and hotel for les than U$S 2,200. It is an old hotel in Praia da Barra: http://www.villagenovo.com Before closing the deal, I wanted to share here to see if anyone has anything horrible to say about this hotel. I understand the location is great.
