Our Accomodations in Brasil – Lexus Ingleses

Here is where we stayed…..I didn’t really know anything about if before we got there. It was setup by a travel agent. I guess they aren’t too strict on trademark infringement in Brasil yet.

The room included breakfast and dinner. 5 days, four nights, flights from mvd and 50 minute trip to hotel from a/p and back ran about $1000 including taxes and airport charges (ugh)….of course the visas were another $340 — remember get your brasilian visas up north. they gouge here in montevideo.

The restaurant was ok….the outdoor pool a little lame….the indoor pool looked cloudy/filthy. the location on the beach was awesome, water still a little chilly this far south this time of year….weather was amazing most days….the rooms were “adequate”, but not high-end. They seemed like they were outfitted to make it easier to clean the sand out that that guests invariably track in. Each room was actually a suite, and also had a little fridge, plates dishes, cups, silverware, pots/pans and a “hotplate” of sorts for cooking in the rooms.

While the hotel overall wasn’t bad, the name “Lexus Ingleses” made me laugh, and I told Golden Lotus that it was more like the “Hyundai Ingleses” :)

That said, of course, it was markedly better looking that this thing down the beach from us…..get a load of the name on the matching boat out front…..fitting since this paintjob is a total nightmare.
