Restinga da Marambaia Vacations from $953

Fantastic and kind staff. The breakfast buffet was great and beyond your standard continental breakfast. Great shower water pressure! Cons: Area around the hotel is very walkable, but doesn't feel the cleanest. People don't clean up after their dogs so there was a lot of poo on the sidewalks in the whole neighborhood. The hotel is currently rennovating rooms so there was a lot of noisy construction. Our friends stayed in one of the renovated rooms which was quite cute. Our room was plain and basic even though we paid extra for a balcony (not really worth it honestly). I'm sure when renovations are complete, the rooms will feel more modern.

Best hotel at Arpoador area. I booked a room with an ocean view. Totally worth it. Really enjoyed my stay. Thanks.

It was great. The breakfast surpassed my expectations. The rooms are clean and of good size. The shower had great pressure. Good bang for your buck!

Everyone was so kind and the place was amazing!!

This hotel was recommended by a friend who lives in Rio and I understand why. The location is near the Ipanema beach, safer than Copacabana, the rooms and facilities are nice and clean, and the staff is friendly and helpful. We reserved the 6 hour city/Cristo tour with them which was a good choice. We also enjoyed the spa for massages which were also very nice.
