Paqueta Island Vacations from $1,253

Perfect location in Ipanema. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful, quick check in and check out as well. Breakfast is delicious with lots of choices including vegan options. Very satisfied with our stay in this hotel and will definitely stay again in the future.

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Santa Teresa MGallery in Rio. This boutique hotel in the artsy Santa Teresa neighborhood, a mix of historic charm with modern luxury. The location offers beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. My room was stylish, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff was warm and attentive, the pool area is stunning, and the food (especially breakfast) was excellent. An oasis in Rio — highly recommended for a memorable, upscale experience!

Got to stay here to enjoy the Ipanema side of Rio de Janeiro. Check in wasn’t very intuitive and there was not a 24 hour staff available for security. I found myself stuck on the inside of the apartment for some time trying to figure out how to leave the building. There were so many mosquitos within the stay that make nights sleepless - there’s a window in the kitchen that is continuously open that make nights restless. The door to the bedroom does not stay closed so I would have to lock myself in each night to hopefully separate myself from the mosquitos. The location makes walking around Ipanema easeful close to restaurants stores and bars.

Excellent hotel in an outstanding location. We only stayed for one night, but everything exceeded our expectations. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, the bar served excellent cocktails at reasonable prices, and the location couldn’t be better—right by the beach in a very safe area with a visible police presence. It was the perfect base for exploring Rio. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.
