I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is beautiful with a nice beach and private area, but it's a bit far from major tourist spots. The rooms I initially got were not acceptable, but once I switched, they were comfortable and clean. The service could use some improvement, especially at breakfast. Overall, there's good value for money but some areas need attention.

My stay at this hotel offered a stunning view of the sea and mountains, not to mention the vibrant colors of the nearby favela, which was surprisingly captivating. The rooms were spacious and clean but I had to switch to an upgraded one to avoid mold issues. The location is perfect if you prefer a quieter experience while still being just a short ride away from the nightlife. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, truly enhancing my overall experience. However, the dining options could have been better, especially during breakfast.

I had a great experience at this hotel, primarily because of the spacious ocean view room that had an incredible view of both the sea and the nearby favela, which was quite interesting to look at. The service was top-notch, especially with the delicious breakfasts including a remarkable tapioca. The only drawbacks were the mediocre dining options and pricing which felt a bit high for the quality. Overall, it's a comfortable place to stay with friendly staff and a fantastic location.

I had a decent stay at this hotel, which has some amazing views over Rio and is located right on the beach. The rooms were comfortable but had some issues like a cracked window and they weren’t soundproof. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful, although the receptionist at check-in could have been better. The dining options were good, especially with the homemade cakes and variety, but breakfast could use some improvements. Overall, it was a nice experience, but there are definitely areas for improvement.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be a mixed bag. On the plus side, the views were absolutely amazing and the location was relatively secluded, making it a quiet retreat by the beach. However, the rooms felt a bit outdated, especially for the price. Additionally, while some staff members were friendly and provided great hospitality, others were less than polite.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at the hotel. While the rooms were well-maintained and clean, I did face an issue when my room was downgraded without compensation, and the air conditioning wasn't functioning properly. On a brighter note, the hotel's service was friendly, and the location near Vidigal is vibrant and full of life. However, it's not very central to restaurants or shopping areas, which could be a downside for some. Overall, there are some great aspects, but there's definitely room for improvement.
