Othon Palace Copacabana Rio

Othon Palace Copacabana Rio

10/10 Excellent
"The room was very nice and comfortable. The room was cleaned and made up while we went for breakfast. The Hotel staff were very polite and efficient. The only problem I had was my inability to communicate in Portuguese. But I was still able to communicate. They had an abundance of a breakfast buffet on the 3rd floor. A variety of Fruits cut up nicely, replenished regularly. There was an item for everyone's liking. Complimentary Beach chairs and towels at the Wave Restaurant at the beach were available from 8 am to 6 pm, which was very nice. The 30th floor (Roof top) had a Solrium, a restaurant, a swimming pool, a sauna, and babysitting services. It had a wonderful view of the Sea and the Copacabana Beach. These were all included in the reasonable room price. Were there for 10 days with my granddaughter, and we enjoyed our stay."
