We should mention
At check-in, parents or a legal guardian travelling with children under 18 years old are obligated to present the child's birth certificate and an identity card with a photo (for example, a passport). For international travels to Brazil, if only one of the parents is travelling with the child, the parent must present – in addition to the child's certificate of birth and identity card with photo – a letter authorising the trip signed by the other parent with a notarial certification of signature. If the parents or the legal guardian, as applicable, cannot or are unwilling to give this authorisation, a judicial authorisation is required. People intending to travel to Brazil with children must consult with the Brazilian consulate prior to travelling for more information.

Tive a impressão q o local não era um hotel e sim motel, pois ao chegar na recepção um homem abriu a porta de um dos quartos e solicitou duas camisinhas ao recepcionista. Posteriormente entrou no local um grupo de 3 a 4 homens e o recepcionista arguiu se queriam um quarto por 30 min. Pela manhã uma pessoa falou no corredor que estava indo para a sala fumar um baseado. Tive a impressão que o local não era familiar, mas eu fui bem tratada pela equipe na minha chegada e saída. Nada contra a oferecerem um motel para estadia tb, mas deveriam especiar aos viajantes para não serem pegos de surpresas como ocorreu comigo. Não usei nenhuma facilidade como chuveiro, toalhas para estar avaliando, mas o quarto estava com cheiro de mofo e felizmente o utilizei por cerca de 10h.
