"Not a 5-star property. The "5-star" label here is used the way "artisanal" is used on gas station sandwiches. It's a 3-star in a 5-star costume. Don't fall for it. Nuts & bolts below.. THE UGLY: They give you coffee pods but ask for ONE tea bag? That's extra. What arrives? An empty cup, a single tea bag, and a sachet holder with a dozen sugar packets. I wish I was joking. Checkout is worse, You're held hostage while housekeeping inspects the minibar to confirm you didn't steal their precious 6 mini bottles of Red Label and vodka. Because apparently the $500 USD deposit on your card isn't enough collateral for $12 worth of liquor. Five star energy right there THE BAD: The "Luxo com cama casal" upgrade is a straight-up scam. You pay premium for extra space that's basically a sealed-off balcony with zero function, an alcove cosplaying as a room. Save your money, book any sea-facing room. Oh, and even at the higher category, breakfast isn't included. The AC operates on vibes, not the temperature dial. Soap and moisturizer quality screams budget motel. And if you're a light sleeper, good luck, the sea-facing walls and windows let in every creak and groan like they're made of cardboard. THE GOOD: Belldesk staff are genuinely wonderful. Sea views are lovely. It's right on the beach. That's it. That's the list."

"Great selection at breakfast. "

"Awesome!"

"Their breakfast is amazing. Though, location is far from everything but safety is top tier. Very clean and rooftop pool is gorgeous. It gets very loud so I hope the facility will implement curfew for it’s guests so other people don’t get bothered."

"Me encantó el hotel "

"This is a 3 star hotel, not the 4. Hallway cleanliness was below 4 star expectations. Our shower had black mold in the grout. Mold was also where we had to hang the towels on the hooks on the wall. Breakfast was ok, too many breads that taste the same, eggs were below average. Only fruit and yogurt saved breakfast. Pool - grout had mold, so I did not even swim. Beds we comfortable and clean sheets we changed daily. That was good. Location is good, beach is close."

"Outstanding staff from front desk to housekeeping "

"Room was beautiful and has an insane view of the city. Beach was right next to the hotel; and the outdoor pool was literally the best I've seen anywhere. Breakfast buffet is to die for as well. I can strong recommend it to anyone visiting Rio."

"The location is great. We had an early morning flight.Our room was large and quiet. But with no windows, it felt like a concrete bunker.The air conditioner was noisy and the temperature control was difficult to use, so we turned it off overnight. The breakfast buffet was good and the transfer to and from terminal 2 was easy. The restaurant staff were goid. The reception staff were not friendly at all. Not one smile It feels like they are not doing much until the new owners take over"
