He helped me find the right sizes and showed me different styles; I tried on all the items (they let you try on even the t-shirts), paid and was finished. I highly recommend this shop for your casual clothing needs--it is well-stocked and their prices are low.

My first time back here since the COVID-19 situation. This shopping mall has taken many…read moreprecautions to adjust to the current norms: they have temperature checks at all the mall entrances; there are many hand sanitizer stations throughout the mall; the escalators are all marked so that shoppers should use only every fourth step; the food court has installed plastic shields between all the tables and at and around all the food stands; all of the stores are posted with the maximum number of clients that are permitted in at the same time. The number of patrons seems much less than it used to be, but it is very nice to be able to go to the mall and pretend to be normal again.

I really enjoyed this place!!! It's not so much of a market as it is a plaza filled with food…read moretrucks, live music on the weekend and a mini-mart: all enclosed in a fenced-in area that's cute, cool and comfortable. The dining options include pizza, sushi, meat on a stick, burgers, Brazilian coxinhas, açai, a bar & lots of seating. I came here cuz I didn't want to end the evening & asked the front desk at my hotel if there was a place to get some food. I exaggerated and had to try the sushi (great!) and the pizza (also really good!). Everyone here was very friendly and I immediately felt at home. Great experience! I would definitely come back here again & recommend that you visit if you're in the area.

The Tambiá Shopping mall is a good place to shop, have fun with friends and also to have a snack…read more It is in the city center and is therefore more accessible to much of the population of João Pessoa. This mall is relatively small compared to some others in the city. The food court has about 20 or 25 fast food options, including Subway & Burger King, as well as "Chinese" and "Italian" fast food among others. Shopping options include many clothing stores, 2 department stores, travel agencies (does anybody use them anymore?), bank & ATMs, jewelry stores and even a medical clinic. There's also a movie theater, but they tell me it's on the small side. The parking lot is large, so you won't have to go crazy looking for on-street parking in the congested downtown area. This time of year, they also have an indoor skating rink, which is a nice touch in the hot weather. In all, I like this Mall & would definitely go back.

This place is a little bit of everything: they have 5 restaurants, including Johnny Rocket's for…read moreburgers (very good), Vignoli which serves (terrible) pizzas and pastas, IT Asian, which serves sushi, Roccia Bar which serves excellent Brazilian pub-style food at great prices and Cozinha Roccia, which serves upscale Brazilian/French fusion cuisine (and is one of my favorite places for fine dining). They used to have a bakery, but sadly it closed. They also have a shop that sells gourmet foods, a coffee shop, a women's clothing boutique, a health food store and a children's play space. The building above is occupied by apartments, some of which can be rented out through various booking sites. It's located about a block away from one of the nicest beaches in the city, and is also close to many other restaurants and shops. Parking is usually available on-street, but they also have valet parking available, although I've never used it.

This is a small shopping mall in the city of Joao Pessoa. It looks like it has seen better days…read moreand looks run-down. They have a few decent stores with some low prices. The food court is really not worth visiting unless you're starving. In addition to clothing stores for men and women, they have a gym, but it's small. If you're in the area and need something specific, it's worth stopping in, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here because there are other much larger shopping malls that have much better shopping options.

Our first time here since the COVID-19 pandemic has taken hold in Brazil. I have to say they do a…read moregood job: everyone, including workers and customers, uses a mask. Many of the employees use masks and visors. They have an employee who applies hand sanitizer as you enter, and another employee who wipes down the shopping cart before you take it. They have Plexiglas shields at every cash register and have removed some of the checkout lanes so you are further apart. There are employees sweeping, mopping and wiping surfaces throughout the store, so it seems like they're doing a pretty good job at trying to keep everyone from getting sick.

Ouro Design is one of the more reasonable shops if you're looking to buy while here. Their store is rather beautiful and looks almost opulent for a shop in a Mall. They sell mostly gold jewelry, but also have some nice silver pieces as well. In addition to jewelry, they also sell watches, but the only brand I was familiar with was Bulova and they cost about 5 times more here, so I wouldn't recommend them as a place to get a new timepiece. The staff are very friendly and professional. While you're shopping, they may offer you a licqueur to help you get over the prices.
