Impressive rooftop pool!
Guests who stayed here were not able to deny the beauty of the views of the beach from the hotel! While room views are breathtaking, the view of the beach from the rooftop is more majestic according to guests. There's a pool area on the deck overlooking the stunningly beautiful beach of Barra da Tijuca, the longest beach in Rio de Janeiro, which is sure worthy to be featured on your next social media postings.

Spacious and spotless rooms
Most of the previous guests have no fuss over the state of orderliness of the room. Aside from being well-maintained, the quarters are spacious for its price. You will have no trouble finding a comfortable space for you and your luggage. An advice: make sure to book a room on the highest floor possible.

Excellent location in Rio-Barra da Tijuca
The hotel’s location is excellent, as guests expressed! Aside from Barra da Tijuca, there are other nearby beaches you can afford to visit, such as the Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. Needless to say that there are numerous restaurants, cafes, and bars outlining the beaches.
Negative Reviews
negative:
No complimentary Internet service
The hotel offers no complimentary Wi-Fi. This is a huge let down to guests since Internet connectivity has become a basic service provide by many other establishments nowadays.
negative:
Lack of services and facilities on the beach front
While there are many small dining options along the beach, many reviewers noted the lack of beach chairs and umbrellas specifically for hotel guests. Staff was also rare to find at the beach as well, so service was a little more challenging to get.
negative:
Slow, irritating check-in process
Checking in was infuriatingly slow on some days. Guests partially blamed the staffs huddling around the computer terminal who barely pay attention to waiting guests.
