Let me preface this by saying that this type of hotel may not be for everyone. If you are one who appreciates stark, minimalistic, uber-modern high design italian hotels with a very laid-back atmosphere, stay at this Italian-owned hotel. If you prefer to be in the middle of all the action, stay in a colonial style hotel in the Pelourinho.... more

Do not book your room over the hotel`s website. We turned up thinking we had a room after receiving an email asking us to confirm our booking - which we did so. Unfortunately they were fully booked, so we were left stranded with a flight to catch early the next morning, and nowhere to stay. Their attitude was terrible -... more

We stayed at the Cocoon at the end of our honeymoon in Brazil and it was the perfect way to end our trip. The hotel is very different to the others we had stayed in, which was part of the reason I chose it- its' quirkiness! The Cocoon is very clean, friendly, the food is inexpensive and very good and... more

We stayed there recently during our trip through Brazil, and we enjoyed our stay very much. The modern design makes it different to all the other hotels - the minimalistic and expressive style creates an unique environment. Both the public areas and the rooms are well designed and comfortable. Front desk people are very helpful and the breakfast is great... more

This hotel is located in Jaguaribe and was only 15mins from the airport. I liked the architecture and design of the hotel except for the sliding glass doors of the rooms where you have to close the "curtain wall" for privacy. It's true, this hotel has a very incognito location where there isn't much restaurants or shops to walk to.... more

I realized that this experience in the hotel cocoon was more than just a simple place to spend holiday. The amazing design of the hotel and lobby, the suites and staff was a perfect combination of relaxing, chilling and to attend on a guest. After a bad experience with some local people, the staff and owners from the hotel helped... more

bottom line is that this hotel is unique amongst the surroundings of Salvaldor. FIrst minimalist hotel I've been to in that region. Very peaceful and gives a balance. Nothing's perfect and no hotel is. I wish salvador had faster broadband to upload my photos. Funny how foreigners are shocked to see provocative beautiful women at the hotel bar and take... more

My boyriend and I stayed at this fantastic find of a hotel in mid-September 2006, during the low season. The rate for a double was even lower than what was quoted on their website--we were quoted 65 euros a night. Let me tell you, it was worth EVERY penny. The rooms are decorated in minimalist chic with concrete walls but... more
