A true sanctuary of peace and nature! We spent three wonderful weeks in Rio de Janeiro with our family, and were warmly welcomed by Mauricio and Stuart at Casa Verde. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully designed, offering breathtaking views—morning ocean vistas and afternoon glimpses into the lush forest. Breakfast was delicious and the travel tips and guided tours they shared were incredibly helpful in planning our trip. Mauricio and Stuart are genuinely kind, welcoming hosts who love connecting with guests. Their hospitality made our stay in Rio even more memorable. Thank you for such a special experience in this beautiful country—we’ll definitely be back!
Everything was perfect—the view was absolutely stunning, and I can already tell I’ll be coming back. The moment I stepped into the room, I was greeted with a clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed space that made me feel instantly at home. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a smooth stay, always friendly and helpful without being intrusive. Even though it’s in a peaceful, quiet area, getting to downtown Rio is easy—just a short ride away. The natural surroundings are breathtaking, especially at sunset. For such a serene setting with top-notch comfort and service, the value is unbeatable. I’ve already started planning my next visit—this place truly feels like a hidden gem.
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 this Hilton was a refreshing change—seriously, the quiet atmosphere is perfect if you're sensitive to noise or have trouble sleeping. The rooftop infinity pool and fitness center on the 9th floor are fantastic, with great views and a relaxing vibe. The on-site Western restaurant offers solid meals, and it’s convenient for a quick bite without leaving the property. Just steps from the back entrance lies Metropolitano Mall—packed with diverse dining options including an Australian restaurant, several Japanese eateries, small cafes, massage parlors, and even a cinema. It's super walkable and adds great convenience to your stay. Beach access is just a 10-minute drive away, and getting to Sugarloaf Mountain (about 28 km) is easy via Uber—no hassle at all. Despite being near the airport (visible from the pool area), the hotel manages to feel secluded and peaceful. Overall, it's a smart choice for travelers who want comfort, quiet, and urban accessibility all in one.
Staying at Hotel Nacional was an absolute delight! The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the room itself was beautiful—spacious, stylish, and impeccably clean. Every detail felt thoughtfully designed. The service was top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Location is unbeatable—right on the beachfront with stunning ocean views from the windows. Even though breakfast isn’t included, the neighborhood has plenty of great local eateries just a short walk away. It’s perfect for travelers who want a relaxing, authentic Rio experience without the hassle. Highly recommend this gem—it truly stands out.
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.
