5/5 Excellent

"It was our first time travelling to Rio, it took us 3/4 days of research to find a great hotel with a great price. This hotel delivered it! Although Barra da Tijuca is further away from the touristic area, it’s definitely worth the extra transportation time. The ocean is cleaner and the beaches less crowded, and most important, a lot more safe! The staff at the hotel was amazing, great service and care. Specially at dinner, the server named Willian was awesome! "
