Nova Iguaçu Vacations from $586

I absolutely loved my stay at Hotel Arpoador! The location is perfect, right by the beach, and the hotel makes it so easy to enjoy it—they provide bikes, beach towels, and even chairs for the sand, which was such a thoughtful touch. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of great options, and the food overall was excellent. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile, which made the experience even better. My room was comfortable and well-kept, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rio. It’s the perfect mix of comfort, great service, and beachside convenience.

This hotel was very nice!!! Anyone can find something to complain about. Minor maintenance is all that’s needed to make this place more upscale. Like toilet seat falling off and faucets not operating properly. I got use to the 2 problems and adjusted to them. Overall very happy and awesome view from pool and room.

The hotel was lovely however there is a real issue with sanitation and waste. The bathrooms and elevators and floors where the rooms are had a terrible odor. But the location of the hotel excellent! This is definitely not a 5 star. 3-4. Food was good but the selection was the same every day! There is no coffee after hours and no coffee machines in the roams. They really should have a coffee station in the main lobby at the very least. The staff were pleasant very helpful. Security was great and we felt safe! If you’re visiting Rio for the first time this is a great place to stay!

Fabulous from start to finish. Views are amazing and everything is within walking distance. The steps to access the hotel from the beach are daunting but you get used to it and plan accordingly. Tip: if you are heading towards nearby Ossos Beach for a meal or sunbathing, then just walk on the street from the front of the hotel it’s quick, easy and avoids the steps. Rooms were lovely and individual. Staff were great and our entire stay felt safe and luxurious.

The staff is wonderful, very attentive and helpful. Unfortunately the building is very dated and really needs a makeover. I have to say it’s very clean except the upholstery in the pool chairs was very moldy.
