Esta ubicado bien en el centro de Buzios. El lugar es limpio, el buffet de desayuno esta bien pero en el horario bien temprano ya que tardan un poco en reponer si vas alrededor de las 9.30. Por todo lo demas la estadia estuvo perfecta. Nos cambiaron las toallas sin problemas un dia que nos olvidamos de dejar el letrero de que nos limpien el cuarto. El personal es muy amable.

Amazing experience in Búzios. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfect. We stayed at the Master Suite and the view was amazing! We had dinner at aGaleria and it was by far the best food we ate in Búzios. All employees were very attentive but Evison really made our trip special. Everytime he passed by us he greeted us with smile and made sure we had everything we needed. The hotel exceeded our expectations and we will certainly be back. Thank you!
