Saquarema Lake 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.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Byblos! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Cássia, and throughout our stay, we were delighted by the view, the breakfast, and the excellent service from Eduardo, Roberto, and Gabriel. They truly made a difference in our experience! Oh, and the location couldn’t be better — simply perfect! Thank you so much for everything!
