I stayed at Hotel Gold Mar in March 2015, it was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. They don't understand the concept of rest. In their minds the hotel should be a party place. So after spending the night before traveling from Mexico City, I was looking forward to a good night's sleep, but it wasn't meant to be. They had a very loud party going on, with live music and very loud guests. I requested a change of room, and they were really rude about moving me to another room, as if it was my fault that they were throwing a party by the swimming pool. Worst hotel in Brazil by far.
