Hotel Açay
Balcony rooms and a restaurant near Maracanã Beach
Santarém
About this stay
Hotel Açay, named for the Amazonian açaí berry, offers streamlined rooms in an unpretentious format, with some rooms featuring balconies, a detail that separates it from the flatter budget hotels nearby that skip this touch entirely. The restaurant on site handles meals without needing to head out, and full-service laundry helps on longer stays through the region. With close to 1,400 guest reviews, it carries one of the larger sample sizes in this list, a signal of consistency across many stays over the years. Maracanã Beach is eight minutes away by taxi, Carne de sol São Lucas covers dinner five minutes on foot, and the airport sits 13 minutes out for arrivals and departures, one of the quicker terminal runs among the family-friendly properties here.

Our take
Families who want a balcony room and an on-site restaurant, backed by a large and consistent review base, should shortlist Hotel Açay early in their search. Travelers seeking a pool or river-beach walking distance should compare Barrudada Tropical Hotel or the Alter do Chão hostels instead, since this hotel's draw is its balconies and restaurant rather than water access.
- ✓Request a balcony room specifically at booking, since not every room here includes one at this rate.
- ✓Book the restaurant for at least one dinner, given the near-1,400 review base backing the property's reputation.
- ✓Take the eight-minute taxi to Maracanã Beach for an afternoon by the water outside the hotel grounds.
