Elba Sara Hotel
This hotel is also located beneath the approach. Room 646 is a balcony room with views of the approach. You have to be quick to see the aircraft as they appear on final approach and are only visible for a few seconds. If you miss a movement simply walk into the corridor and look out of the window where they reappear tail on down the approach.
Photography is possible with good results from outside of the hotel, the video below shows the opportunities available.
