TRYP by Wyndham Manaus Brazil

Manaus Adventure Awaits: Uncover the Amazon at TRYP by Wyndham!

Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because we're diving HEADFIRST into the sweaty, vibrant, and frankly, slightly overwhelming world of the TRYP by Wyndham in Manaus, and you better believe I'm going to tell you everything. This isn't some sterile, cookie-cutter travel review, this is the REAL DEAL. Expect a bumpy ride, occasional tangents, and maybe, just maybe, I'll actually help you decide if this place is worth your hard-earned dosh.

The "Manaus Adventure Awaits: Uncover the Amazon" Hype…and the Reality Check

So, the tagline screams "Adventure!" and "Uncover the Amazon!" and, well, it lives up to some of that. Listen, you're in MANAUS. The Amazon is RIGHT THERE. You will feel the adventure, even if it’s just the adventure of dodging rogue tuk-tuks or mastering the art of translating "sem gelo, por favor" (no ice, please) in a language that often feels like pure poetry.

Accessibility: A Mixed Bag (Like Most Things in Life)

Let's get this out of the way first: Accessibility. They claim to have facilities for disabled guests. That's the official line. I didn't personally test every single inch with a wheelchair (thankfully!), but I did notice the elevator, and that's a HUGE plus. The lobby seemed relatively spacious. But be warned, Brazilian infrastructure in general can be… challenging. So, while TRYP attempts accessibility, double-check with them before you go if you have specific needs. Don't rely on my ramblings, call them!

Rooms: My Sanctuary (Sometimes) – and the Free Wi-Fi Saved Me

Okay, let's talk about the rooms. Mine? Alright. Cleanish. (Yeah, I’m getting to the Cleanliness & Safety part later…but it's connected, trust me.). The air conditioning? A GODSEND. Honestly, considering the equatorial heat, that feature alone bumps the hotel's stock up significantly. Blackout curtains? YES! A must for those jet-lagged naps and sneaky afternoon siestas. Free Wi-Fi? Hallelujah! Seriously, the free Wi-Fi in all rooms deserves a standing ovation. The rooms aren't HUGE, but they’re functional. The bed? Surprisingly comfy. I even had a little reading nook, which, in a city like Manaus, is an oasis.

Wi-Fi & Internet: My Lifeline (and My Reason for Staying Sane)

Listen, internet in the Amazon Basin? Not exactly a guarantee. But TRYP delivers! Free Wi-Fi in all rooms. Wi-Fi in public areas. It was reliable enough for me to upload a ton of pics to Instagram of the market – perfect for my desperate attempt to make my friends back home jealous. And I could actually work, which, sadly, I sometimes must do. (The internet [LAN] is also in the room, if you’re into that old school thing, but who uses that anymore?).

Cleanliness and Safety: The Elephant in the Room (and the Sanitizing Efforts)

Right, let's address the elephant. With everything going on, hygiene is key. They do claim to have dedicated disinfection in all common areas, rooms sanitized between stays plus anti-viral cleaning products. Frankly, I did see a lot of staff cleaning, and the hand sanitizer was plentiful, which is much appreciated. Did I see every single surface wiped down with the utmost precision? Probably not. Did I feel entirely unsafe? No, not really. They are trying, and in a developing nation, I think that's a fair start.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Amazonian Explorer (or at Least Keeping You Fed)

Breakfast? Breakfast buffet, yeah. Good. (Good being relative, let's be honest!) They have a mix of Western and Asian stuff to satisfy (or confuse) everyone. Eggs? Bacon (sometimes!). Fruit? Plenty of that, this is Brazil. Coffee? Strong enough to kickstart your heart after a late night. They actually had a little café (the coffee shop), which, at first, seemed a bit underwhelming, but the coffee, in a pinch? Excellent.

The restaurants have a mix of options, including Asian cuisine. (Yes, Asian cuisine! Who knew?). The bar? Poolside bar, even… which is key because, again, the heat. They have a happy hour! I'd be drinking cocktails under palm trees even if no one else was.

Things to Do, Ways to Relax: The "Spa" Situation

Okay, let's admit it. The “Spa” situation is…modest. There is a spa and sauna but don't expect luxury, you're not exactly in a five-star retreat. However, a massage after a day of wandering the market? Possibly the best thing ever. The pool with a view (sort of) is a nice touch, even if it’s not the most breathtaking view in the world.

Services and Conveniences: The Little Extras That Matter

The concierges were generally friendly and helpful, arranging airport transfers, taxis, and generally pointing me in the right direction. The 24-hour front desk is a huge plus for any late-night arrivals or early-morning excursions. There's a convenience store (always a good thing). The elevator is a lifesaver. Laundry service? Yes. Ironing? Yes. They offer a meeting/banquet facilities; I suppose if you're in the middle of the Amazon and you need a corporate retreat, this is the place.

For the Kids: Family-Friendly (to a Point)

They have kids' facilities, baby sitting; but don't expect Disneyworld. This is more about a hotel being a place that you could bring kids. They need to say this.

Getting Around: Navigating the Chaos

Airport transfer? Yes. Car park? Free. Car park on-site? Yes. Taxi service? Yes. You'll want to use these things. Manaus is a city, and a busy one at that. Walking isn't always the most pleasant experience.

The Anecdote That Sums It All Up (and Why I Give It a Slightly-Wary Thumbs Up)

So, there I was, jet-lagged and slightly delirious, searching for the perfect photo opportunity. The sun was beating down, the humidity was stifling, and I was starting to regret not bringing more deodorant. That's when I stumbled upon a small, hidden patch of… something. Maybe it was a shrine, I’m not sure. It was a moment that wasn’t about luxury or the "perfect" experience. It was about discovery. And that kind of experience is what you’re after in Manaus. This hotel? It's a good base camp for that.

The Verdict: Should You Book?

Okay, here's the deal. If you're looking for absolute luxury, pristine perfection, and a spa that'll make you forget your troubles… this isn't it.

However, if you're an adventurer, someone who embraces the chaos, who wants a comfortable, clean, conveniently placed base camp for exploring the Amazon, and someone who appreciates a decent Wi-Fi connection to actually share your experiences… then yeah. Book it.

Here's my pitch, my offer based on all the above:

Manaus Mayhem: A TRYP-ical Adventure (Or, How I Learned to Love the Amazon)

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn’t your sanitized, perfectly-curated travel blog. This is real life, with all the mosquito bites and existential dread that comes with it. I’m in Manaus, Brazil, and the TRYP by Wyndham is my current purgatory/paradise/basecamp for exploring the Amazon. Let's see how this little trip unfolds, shall we?

Day 1: Arrival and Amazonian Angst

10:00 AM - Arrive at Eduardo Gomes International Airport (MAO): The air bites you the second you step off the plane. It hits you like a warm, humid, hairy hug. Immediately, I'm sweating. Profusely. My carefully crafted "effortless travel" outfit (linen pants, flowing shirt…yeah, right) starts disintegrating. The airport? Charming in a slightly run-down, tropical-chic kind of way. Finding a taxi feels like navigating a particularly aggressive game of bumper cars.
11:00 AM - Check-in at TRYP Manaus: Finally! Sweet, sweet air conditioning! The lobby looks…well, it looks like a TRYP. Clean, functional, and radiating that slightly clinical, hotel-chain vibe. The receptionist is friendly enough, though she seems vaguely surprised that I, a pasty white woman, have actually made it to the Amazon. My room… is small. But hey, at least the AC works. The view? The pool. The pool looks inviting. But first, the unpacking… which is a disaster. I'm already regretting packing that "statement" scarf.
12:00 PM - Lunch at a local restaurant (name escapes me, naturally): Found a little place a few blocks from the hotel. Ordered some sort of grilled fish thing (pirarucu, maybe? Don't quote me). Delicious! Simple. Cheap. And so very filling. The waiter, a genuinely lovely guy, kept trying to upsell me on caipirinhas. I resisted (for now). The heat, you see… it takes its toll.
2:00 PM - Wandering the City Center: This is where the "angst" part comes in. Manaus is a city of glorious chaos. Colonial buildings crumbling beside modern high-rises. Motorbikes whizzing through the streets. The air thick with the smell of exhaust and… something else. Something earthy and intoxicating and a little bit… unsettling. I felt lost. Totally and utterly lost. Like a tiny, sweaty ant in a jungle of humanity. I almost went back to the hotel… but I kept walking. Saw the Teatro Amazonas. Gorgeous. Majestic. A complete contrast to the surrounding bustle. Took a photo, of course. Instagram gold. (Probably. I haven’t checked.)
5:00 PM - Back at the TRYP, poolside solace: Ah, the pool. My oasis. The water is lukewarm, but who cares? I just sat there, watching the sun go down, and slowly started to relax. The sounds of the city faded away and there were other guests doing the same thing, I got some great small talk. I even managed to crack open that caipirinha I'd been resisting. Maybe this whole Amazon thing wouldn't be so bad after all.

Day 2: Jungle Jamboree (And the Unbearable Heat of Betrayal)

7:00 AM - Breakfast at the TRYP: Buffet. The usual suspects: scrambled eggs, sad-looking fruit, bread rolls that could double as bricks. Coffee tastes like… well, hotel coffee. Filled up anyway, fuel required for the adventures ahead!
8:00 AM - Organized tour to meet the Meeting of the Waters (Rio Negro and Rio Solimões). This is it! Supposedly the must-do experience. I'm on a boat. The guide – a perpetually cheerful guy named Ricardo – rattles off facts at the machine-gun pace. The water is unbelievable. The Rio Negro is dark and mysterious, and the Rio Solimões is a muddy brown, the water is a really special sight.
10:00 AM - Pirhana fishing (more like PirahNAAAH!): They provided small bamboo rods, a tiny hook, and a morsel of raw meat. We were told that catching a piranha was likely and easy… complete B.S. We sat there, baking in the sun, swatting at mosquitos, while the boat captain fished his own, getting all the big ones! I didn’t catch a damn thing. Feeling betrayed. The heat was brutal. Began fantasizing about cold beer, and air conditioning.
12:00 PM - Lunch on the boat: Grilled fish. Again. Apparently, this is the local cuisine. It was better than the fish yesterday, so, score!
2:00 PM - Meeting of the Waters (Again): We returned to the place. I can still see it in my mind. The waters are so perfect.
4:00 PM - Amazon River Experience (with a dose of reality): The guide tells us about the medicinal properties and we were all amazed. We can't help but enjoy the experience.
6:00 PM - Back to the TRYP: Exhausted, sunburned, covered in mosquito bites. (Seriously, bring bug spray. Lots of it.) Collapsed onto my bed. The statement scarf got the heave-ho.
7:00 PM - Dinner at the TRYP restaurant. Food was actually pretty good! I ordered the fish stew, a mistake because I felt like I was eating yesterday’s meal again. But it was good. Maybe.
8:00 PM - Trying to sleep: The heat is relentless, I have no peace.

Day 3: Into the Deep (And the Deep Dark Dark of My Soul)

9:00 AM - Sleep in… sort of. My body's still adjusting to the time difference. Still, after a good night’s sleep, I feel like I am in a better mood and ready to take on the world.
10:00 AM - Exploring the Hotel: It has a good pool. The GYM is something else.
12:00 PM - Lunch at the Hotel Pretty good.
2:00 PM - Amazon Jungle tour and a dose of reality: They provide small bamboo rods, a tiny hook, and a morsel of raw meat. We were told that catching a piranha was likely and easy… complete B.S. We sat there, baking in the sun, swatting at mosquitos, while the boat captain fished his own, getting all the big ones! I didn’t catch a damn thing. Feeling betrayed. The heat was brutal. Began fantasizing about cold beer, and air conditioning.
4:00 PM - Back at the TRYP Pool: I'm starting to feel like a lizard. Just soaking up the sun, trying to ignore the fact that I'm probably going to get a nasty sunburn. But hey, at least I’m here.

Day 4: Goodbye, for now, Manaus.

10:00 AM - Check out of the TRYP: Quick and painless. The receptionist is still super friendly. Even gave me a little wave as I was leaving.
11:00 AM - Last-minute souvenir shopping: Found a decent hammock (thank God). And some trinkets that will probably end up gathering dust somewhere.
1:00 PM - Fly out of Manaus: As the plane takes off, I watch the lush green carpet of the Amazon recede. I feel sad to be leaving. Maybe it's the adventure that I'm sad to be leaving.

Final Thoughts:

Manaus is a mess. It's hot. It's chaotic. It's a bit overwhelming. But it's also incredibly beautiful and alive. It’s a place that gets under your skin. The TRYP? Perfectly adequate. Safe. Comfortable. The air conditioning is a lifesaver. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Would I come back to Manaus? You bet your bottom dollar I would. Even if those dang piranhas got me (and the mosquitos, and the heat, and the… well, you get the picture). This is a place that lingers, that makes you think, that fills your soul. And that, my friends, is worth every sweaty, chaotic moment.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find a cold beer. And maybe a vacation from my vacation. Cheers!

Okay, buckle up, buttercups! Because we're diving headfirst into the untamed jungle of information about TRYP by Wyndham, Manaus. And trust me, it's as messy and wonderful as a piranha-infested river. Here we go!

Okay, Lay It On Me: What IS This "Manaus Adventure Awaits" Thing, Anyway?

Alright, picture this: you, sweaty and mosquito-bitten (hopefully not *too* bitten), smack-dab in the middle of the Amazon. TRYP by Wyndham in Manaus, Brazil, is basically your launchpad to all things jungle-y. They've got these "packages" – like, bundles of awesome – that include stuff like jungle treks, visits to floating villages, maybe even a chance to wrestle a (small, supervised) anaconda (okay, I might be exaggerating on the anaconda part... *maybe*). It’s basically a one-stop shop for your inner Indiana Jones (or, you know, your inner…someone who watches the Discovery Channel a lot). I went last year, right? And let me tell you, it wasn't *smooth sailing*...I'm a city slicker, baby! I was basically a fish out of water, that's for sure. More on that, later.

Alright, Sounds Cool. But Is It ACTUALLY "Adventure"? I'm More of a Lounging-by-the-Pool Kind of Person.

Listen, I get it. Pool time is *essential*. But TRYP in Manaus… they sprinkle adventure in with the pool vibes. They've got a pool (thank GOD), so you can definitely lounge. BUT, and this is a big BUT, they also have tours and activities. Some are hardcore jungle treks, some are more… gentle. Think boat trips down the Rio Negro, maybe spotting some monkeys, maybe getting absolutely *slaughtered* by mosquitos (bring bug spray! Seriously, bring the industrial-strength stuff!). My tip? Find a happy medium. Do the pool, then go do *something*. Otherwise, you're missing the *point* of being in the Amazon. Unless your point is to just relax, in which case… still, the pool is lovely. And the caipirinhas were *divine*. I had like, five. The first time I went out, I was the wimpiest person there. The guide looked at me, sighed, and said, “You know, not everyone has to do *everything*.”

Tell Me About the Rooms! Are They Actually Nice Rooms? I'm a Hotel Snob, Okay?

Okay, let's be real: you're not in the Ritz. It's Manaus, not Paris. BUT, and this is important, the rooms at TRYP are perfectly acceptable. Clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned (THANK GOD). They’re also a welcome relief from a day sweating buckets in the jungle. They're not going to blow your mind with luxury, but they're a safe haven. I'd rate them… a solid 7 out of 10. Maybe an 8 if you get a room with a view of the pool. After a day of… well, let's just say "adventuring" in the Amazon (more on my "adventure" experiences later), a clean, air-conditioned room is GOLD. I'm not gonna lie – I might have cried a little when I walked in that first day. Happy tears. Probably.

What Kind Of Tours And Activities Are We Talking About? Gimme the deets!

Alright, buckle up, because this is where it gets interesting. They offer everything from basic city tours to hardcore jungle expeditions. Expect boat trips (essential!), visits to the Meeting of the Waters (where the Rio Negro and the Amazon River meet – it’s *spectacular*), piranha fishing (yikes!), and hikes into the jungle (bring good shoes! and bug spray!). One thing that REALLY stuck with me? The visit to the floating villages. Seeing how people live on the river, their resilience… It was seriously humbling. I have a *photo*! I can't find it. It was on that old Blackberry…. Oh well! But some tours are longer and more intensive, taking you deeper into the rainforest. Choose wisely, people. I, in my infinite wisdom, chose the "overnight jungle experience." More on that…later. *shudders*

Okay, Okay… What About Food? I Need My FOOD.

The hotel restaurant is pretty decent. Breakfast is a buffet, with all the usual suspects. They got pancakes, eggs, cereal. And, of course, the local stuff. I was BRAVE (said in the most sarcastic tone you can imagine) and tried some of the regional dishes. Some were AMAZING. Some… not so much. I'm looking at you, *pirarucu* (a giant Amazonian fish). But hey, you're in Brazil! You have to try everything at least *once*. Plus, the caipirinhas, again, amazing! Outside the hotel, Manaus has a vibrant food scene. Get yourself to the Mercado Municipal Adolpho Lisboa! You can try everything. And I do mean *everything*. I recommend the fresh fruit. And the açai. Oh. My. Gosh. The açai.

Is It Safe? I've Heard Things…

Okay, let's address the elephant (or, you know, the jaguar) in the room: safety. Manaus, like any major city, has its pockets of not-so-safe areas. Be smart. Don’t flash expensive jewelry, don't wander around alone at night. Use taxis or ride-sharing services. The TRYP is pretty safe and the staff is usually helpful. Don't be an idiot, Basically. You'll be fine. Look, I'm a worrier by nature. I asked everyone ALL the questions. And the staff are usually super helpful, And again, the main touristy areas are generally well-patrolled. Trust me. You'll be fine. Just listen to your gut.

Alright, The "Overnight Jungle Experience." You Mentioned That. What Was That Really Like? Spill the Beans!

Okay, deep breath. The "Overnight Jungle Experience." It sounded so… romantic! Like, "Into the Wild" with a touch of luxury. HA! What a fool I was. Picture this: Me, a city girl, armed with nothing but a half-used tube of sunscreen and a desperate prayer to the mosquito gods. The guide was awesome (shout out to…well, I forget his name…but he was Brazilian and *very* cool). We trekked for hours. Hours! Through mud, over roots, under…things that made noises I didn't want to know about. The humidity was *insane*. My hair looked like a damp, frizzy bird's nest. Then it started raining. And then… it got dark. We were supposed to sleep in hammocks, in the open air. “Cool, right?” the guide had said. “You’ll hear the jungle sounds!” Yeah. I heard the jungle sounds. Mostly, I heard my own teeth chattering. I was utterly terrified. I barely slept. The jungle sounds, as it turned out, were a LOT of things rustling, chirping, and… definitely something *big*Find Your Perfect Stay
