Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was great, near the beach and with restaurants and shopping malls close by. However, the rooms were poorly cleaned, leaving sand everywhere, and the service was a mix of nice and rude interactions. The dining experience was enjoyable but a bit overpriced.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with a beautiful ocean view from my room. It was very quiet, although the room had limited storage space and the cleaning could have been better. The service was exceptional, friendly, and professional, going above and beyond to ensure my experience was great. The location was good, close to the beach and restaurants, but not ideal for exploring downtown or touristic areas. The dining experience varied, with amazing options but also some shortcomings. Overall, a nice stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel rooms were a bit crowded and not as cozy as expected, with two single beds pushed together instead of a double bed. On the bright side, the hotel is located at the very back of the hotel, great for those who enjoy a quieter stay. The service was helpful and friendly, especially with personalized egg preparations, but some employees seemed lost and rude when handling room cancellations. The location was excellent, situated in Barra da Tijuca, very close to the beach, providing a perfect setting for sightseeing and enjoyable family time. The dining experience was exceptional, with a diverse and tasty menu, and the facilities were well-equipped for a comfortable stay.

The hotel is located in an extraordinary beachfront spot at Barra da Tijuca, making it great for sightseeing and near the vibrant Barra nightlife and Olympic sites. The rooms are spacious, well-equipped, and very quiet, especially those at the very back of the hotel. While the service is very nice, polite, and helpful, communication in English could be a bit challenging at times. The dining options are varied with a fantastic Sushi bar, but some may find them below average. The hotel offers a big selection of different foods, including bubbles to drink and a barbecue. Overall, a great location but some improvements needed in certain areas.
