9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,108 reviews)

The hotel is well located, the staff is excellent, and the breakfast is outstanding. However, the property clearly needs renovation, and it does not meet the standards expected of a five-star hotel, despite being marketed as such. Overall, it is a comfortable stay, but the classification feels overstated.

8.8/10 Excellent! (838 reviews)

Room was tiny (as expected right here on the beach) but spotless. Most of all, the location is incredible, and the staff incredibly helpful. We had many hours after checking out of our room while waiting the airport, and the staff let us continue to use all the hotel amenities, including the incredible pool and view over Copacabana Beach from the sky deck. Six stars out of five!
