Praia da Feiticeira Tours

The area it was in is a cute beach town with a nearby beach of its own! The staff were very sweet and despite the language barrier did an amazing job!

We totally recommend it! The location is amazing—close to all the key points in the city. It’s the only hotel in Rio directly on the beach, without a road separating it from the sand. The restaurant has amazing views, whether you’re going for breakfast or catching the sunset while sipping caipirinhas. The entire staff was amazing—friendly, informative, and always very, very helpful and welcoming. Special shoutout to Marcus and Matheus at the front desk. Rodrigo and Bruno at the restaurant were the best!! We spent 5 days in Rio, then headed to Lençóis Maranhenses. When we came back to Rio, we had originally planned to stay at another hotel, but we canceled and decided to return to Arpoador. We’re definitely coming back in the future. Thank you for everything!!

Sol Ipanema is a fantastic place to stay! The staff and the property exceeded all my expectations — everything from service to comfort was outstanding. My only issue was with Expedia, not the hotel itself. I needed to change my reservation dates, and while the hotel’s reservation team was incredibly kind and approved the change, Expedia failed to update the dates properly with the hotel. Despite this hiccup, my experience at Sol Ipanema was excellent, and I’d definitely return!
