The view🤩 We got room at 21th floor and it has amazing view! From our room we saw sea, beach, the green hill, favels and the Christ statue also! But when you lie on the bed and look to the window you have totally seaview, only the sea😍and it is nice idea to put the mirror infront so you see there reflection of the hill or Christ above favels - like a painting- sooo beautiful! Btw there is no sunrise or sunset above the sea - it is above the hills in this area (at the May at least). Also i liked fruits variety on the breakfast and dinners, desserts on the dinners. And dinners - 7/9, two was bad.

the breakfast, my expectations were higher. it is ok, but not “very good” as it was written on the description. the lines to the eggs cooked right for you or tapioca, and also all fresh cooked dishes (eggs and tapioca) wasn’t good prepared((( always had bad smell of rancid oil((( the beach is not super close, you need left the hotel and cross the road! but it is ok for Rio’s beaches as i know the windows with such an awesome view should be clean

one of best options at Rio de Janeiro, cost benefits is above average ! hotel is really beautiful we have stayed there before and all the time experience is wonderful. Location at Sao Conrado is between Barra da Tijuca and Leblon which for me is strategic location to be near by everything...there is subway nearby and Uber and Taxis are also available. for this this hotel has the most beautiful rooms of Rio, i have been in many others in Rio and no one is good as this one...great yo be with Kids too, with Recreation

for me this hotel is a place to spend time on, Pool is Amazingly beautiful, but Drinks are not great, i would suggest instead order a beer or wine to get a better experience: for Hotel crew i would recommend improving the staff who prepare the drinks..it could be a strength as i see this is a problem with several other vacation hotels in Rio.

The hotel has a great location, right next to the beach (You literally just cross the road) Super safe, we didn't feel threatened at all, different from visiting Ipanema or Copacabana. It's also near a small shopping mall which is great. The room was spacious with a spectacular view of the ocean and the Rocinha favela. Would definitely re-visit. The pool was very nice too, it could be bigger or with an infinity border. Oh and the Sushi place on the 30th floor is amazing with very reasonable prices!

There was a day where they had a tent selling (espetinho) which is a meat skewer, they were selling it at 40 reais, which is more than 8USD. Also, on a specific day, the lunch was costing 300R$ per peson 60$~ which I also found very expensive for the quality. In general, things to buy in this hotel were very overpriced.

Location is perfect,across the beach and on transport route to any tourist spot in Rio

The language barrier is real-the staff speak limited English.Fully understand it is a Portuguese speaking country so that is that. no hotel towels allowed for use at the beach for guests which is a bummer as this is a hotel by the beach.

Generally it is a very nice hotel, well situated by the beach and the rooms and facilities in them are excellent. The lift system works well with 4 being available at all times.

Some of the staff can't even speak basic English which is a little frustrating. Water and soft drinks should be included with dinner. There are not enough parasols and chairs on the beach and most are in really poor condition. Also not enough sun loungers and parasols around the pool. There should be covers on the sun loungers in the garden area above the pool. The music in the morning doesn't need to be so loud and club/dance orientated. No problem in the afternoon/evening.

The breakfast selection is incredible, there’s a lot of security to feel safe, the lobby is huge and very calm. The room is very spacious and clean, i love the low light’s and how cozy they make the room look, and elegant as well. We choose the mountain view and since the hotel has a circle format we were very fortunate to also be able to see the beach.

They don’t offer gym towels and i think that isn’t very hygenic in my oppinion. The sauna wasn’t clean for the week i stayed and by the look of it it needed a big deep clean.

I absolutely loved the view from our room—it was truly breathtaking! But what really made our stay special was the staff, who completely exceeded my expectations. There were a couple of unforgettable moments that stood out to me: First, I accidentally dropped some money outside my room, and a kind staff member knocked on my door to return it to me. It was such a thoughtful and honest gesture that really impressed me. Later, my cousin realized she couldn’t find the pendant to her necklace, and again, the staff came through. Whoever cleaned our room found it and carefully placed it on the nightstand next to the bed. These small but meaningful actions truly made our stay feel warm and welcoming. The staff's kindness and integrity were beyond anything we could have hoped for.

there was a strange smell in the community bathroom in the lobby/restaurant area on the main floor. im guessing it's the water maybe.

Location is fantastic - a bit further away from the craziness of Ipanema/Copacabana, but within 15-25mins by metro. Breakfast and dinner food options were really good - plenty of veggie/healthy options, you could also just eat fried/cheesy goodness all the time as well. The staff were exceptional, super attentive, polite and very friendly.

Since the WiFi is unsecured I could not get online to work (they were not able to provide me with the password for their business/corp WiFi although I offered to pay extra). Had to ask a few times for coffee to be refilled (guessing room service does not have the Nespresso capsules with them?). Hair drier was not in the room, but was quickly sorted.

The place is just right over the sea, with an underground station about 7min walk from it, that takes you to the city. The near by beach is clean, and sandy. We had room with a bath and the view was stunning, very big and spacious room, shower, bathing room, the pool is good size also. We liked dining in the rooftop restaurant, very good dining.

We were watching the buffet video presented everywhere thinking it would be possible to get it, turned up it was a special celebration menu. So normal buffet was ok, but in comparison to what we thought we getting was just way different.

Good value for a 5 star hotel in Rìo compared to some other 5 star or some of the better 4 star hotels in Rìo. Not perfect, but relatively good value . Great views if you have Ocean front view room, unfortunately no balconies though: famous architects, like Niemeyer in this case (I love his work) are sometimes more concerned with the facade optics then the usability of the design. Although not a famous location it is not too far from many of the things in Rìo. Mall nearby.

A little dated rooms, when you get higher rooms hot water takes a long time. They could make better use of the garden 1 floor up from the swimming pool area. Bread selection very limited and soft (real freshly baked French Baquette bread people!) Check in and out were very busy so high waiting times.
