Guararapes - Gilberto Freyre International Airport: where to stay…

Guararapes airport is inside the Boa Viagem neighborhood, 10-15 minutes from almost every beach hotel: the choice here is more about which stretch of the seafront than the distance from the terminal. Those with a dawn flight or a quick stopover find practical hotels just minutes from check-in, in the southern part of Boa Viagem. Those who want the beach right outside the door and more restaurants nearby choose the central stretch of Boa Viagem instead, a bit further from the airport traffic but still just a few minutes away by taxi.
