I want to be fair about this as the room was not expensive, just $90/night. However, the room's air conditioning was not working, and it was 90 degrees in Rio. At first the A/C worked, but then it stopped in the middle of the night. They graciously gave us another room, so we packed up everything and moved. That room had the same air conditioning issue as the first one, so we had to pack up and move to our third room in three days. There the A/C worked. All three rooms were tiny, No hand towels, no Kleenex, slow elevators. A bit disappointing. When I booked online it looked like we could walk across the street to a beach but the road in between was four lanes with with no crosswalk or traffic light near the hotel. That beach wasn't nice either, and I saw only two people using it. On the plus side, the breakfast was very nice and the staff was friendly and did respond to our A/C issue. However having to have three rooms during our three-day stay made this a place we'll not be returning to.

I had a nice stay ! Staff here did a fantastic job in customer service and overall very genuine people. Thank you! As for housekeeping ..:.they need a lot of improvement. My first room was covered in mold in the bathroom , the shower was broken where the mold accumulated by the drain. The bed skirt was filthy and the drain patio still had cup stains on the table. It also smelled damp and mildewy. Front desk changed my room without an issue, I showed pictures and I was given a humble apology. The next room was still ehh. The carpet was not vacuumed …not once since I was there. The same crumbs or whatever it was, never was removed. I Didn’t bother reaching out since I spent a lot of time touring , perhaps I should’ve. Overall the hotel is lovely, but my two rooms were not up to par . 7/10 rating. Also worth mentioning , there are a lot of stains on the facility furniture! Everywhere I went there are visible stains in the seats. It would be wise to not just wipe the areas clean but also use stain removers accordingly. Children and dogs are permitted and I found the children to be very loud in the dining area, specifically the sushi restaurant which has a more classy vibe. Thanks to the concierge and the staff in the spa, y’all are rockstars in my book!

The staff were all well trained and accommodating...as well as conversant in English. WARNING: DO NOT USE THE ATM IN THE HOTEL. The conversion rate is criminal and the hotel should be ashamed to have a vendor that abuses their guests so badly.
