Matteo is an exceptional host—warm, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful. The lodge itself is a true gem, combining stunning design with an unbeatable location. What stood out most was the serene, homely atmosphere—it felt less like a guesthouse and more like staying in a private luxury home. The views of Pedra da Gavea and São Conrado are absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset. Every detail, from the decor to the quiet, peaceful setting, speaks to a deep commitment to comfort and authenticity. I couldn’t recommend Tuakaza more highly. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s an experience. I’d return in a heartbeat. Thank you, Matteo, for making our visit so memorable.

Our stay at Gavea Tropical Boutique Hotel was a major letdown, especially considering we booked it for our first-year anniversary. The promised romantic touches—rose petals scattered on the bed and in the room—were completely missing upon arrival. When we asked the front desk staff, they said they’d place them only after we left for dinner. I asked, 'What if we don’t go out?' and got the reply, 'We’ll still put them.' We spent two hours away enjoying the jacuzzi, but returned to find nothing. The surprise we were promised turned into an empty promise. The complimentary wine offered in the package was just sitting in the fridge—no presentation, no style. When we asked about it, the staff responded with, 'You can pick any of the two!' (Seriously?) Then came the detox juice: advertised as a full pitcher, but at 11 PM we had to message via WhatsApp asking where it was. They admitted they forgot it, then brought two tiny cups—no sugar, nearly undrinkable. We left it there. The view was another disappointment: the brochure promised views of Christ statue and Lagoa, but all we saw was trees. After complaining multiple times, we were moved to a different room. Bathroom water was warm at night, but next morning it was freezing—hot water had run out. The pool water was cloudy and unusable. Breakfast was terrible: milk was gone, cheese wasn’t available, only ham and one odd-shaped bread. No salted bread. Just a few drops of juice in the cooler. Cups and mugs had to be requested, no cutlery. A couple nearby ordered eggs, and the kitchen staff said they were out. Nescau had barely a spoonful left in the jar, and the only dessert was a small orange cake with zero options. We were told an employee had gone to buy cheese, bread, and condiments—but never returned. We waited over an hour. Overall, this experience fell far short of expectations. The service was inconsistent, details were ignored, and the promises made during booking were not kept. It’s hard to recommend this hotel, especially for special occasions.

This is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to stay in Rio de Janeiro. The room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and impeccably tidy—felt like home from the moment we walked in. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always ready to assist with anything we needed. What really stands out is how close it is to the beach—just a short walk or quick metro ride away, making it super easy to enjoy the seaside vibe anytime. I was impressed by how well-priced this place is for the quality offered. If you're after a comfortable, convenient, and affordable stay in Rio, I highly recommend giving this property a try. It’s definitely one of the best value options I’ve found during my trip.

Staying at Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro was an absolute delight—especially since we celebrated my husband's birthday there. From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome with a complimentary champagne toast set the tone for a memorable experience. Our ocean-view room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and incredibly comfortable, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the sea. The breakfast buffet was outstanding—fresh, diverse, and delicious, with both local Brazilian flavors and international favorites. The staff went above and beyond, showing genuine care and attention throughout our stay. Every detail felt thoughtfully curated, from the personalized birthday greeting to the seamless service. It’s rare to find such luxury combined with warmth and authenticity. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again—this hotel truly delivers on every level.

Staying at Para TI Guesthouse was an unforgettable experience. Nestled in the heart of nature, it's a peaceful retreat where you can also engage in meaningful volunteer work with local children—such a heartwarming way to connect with the community. This place truly offers a glimpse into the real Rio de Janeiro and the incredible people who call it home. We left a piece of our hearts behind, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for authenticity, warmth, and a deeper connection with the city. It’s not just a stay—it’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave.
