Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The ocean view rooms were modern, spacious, and beautiful, with great balconies to enjoy. The service was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure a fantastic experience in Brazil. The location, although far from the main attractions, offered a safe and peaceful setting. The dining experience was good, but could have had more variety. Overall, a great choice for a relaxing and comfortable stay.
The hotel has charming rooms equipped with all you need; however, the children had been given 'free access' to book, and the rooms looked different from the pictures on booking. The service, despite some staff always playing with their mobiles instead of taking care of guests, was highlighted by Felipe, Paulo at breakfast and his crew, Alexandre, and Francisco-club. The location offers a peaceful getaway from the city buzz, allowing you to enjoy Barra beach in Brazil without the usual crowds at Copacabana/Ipanema beach. On the downside, a recommended restaurant was unsuitable, with no English-speaking waiters, catering completely towards locals in a local neighborhood.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were a bit dirty upon arrival, but they were spacious and perfect for accommodating my entire family, with a lovely terrace for relaxing. The location was great for enjoying the beach away from the city buzz, but there were some issues with staffing levels. The service was friendly and helpful, and the dining experience was delightful. However, there were some concerns about staff attentiveness and maintenance.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, right by the beach and overlooking the lagoon. The rooms were exquisite, with fine amenities from an old Brazilian perfume factory, but they lacked cabinets. The service was top-notch, especially the staff reinforcing mask use during breakfast. The dining experience was average, but the hotel supervisor made it up to us with a free breakfast. Overall, a wonderful place to stay.
I had a comfortable stay at the hotel with well-appointed rooms, although the view wasn't guaranteed. The balcony was a nice touch, making the room feel great. The service at the sushi restaurant was top-notch, with a vast array of food and friendly staff. The location wasn't in the main Rio area but was beautiful. The dining experience provided plentiful and healthy options. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks in location and room view.
