My wife and I stayed at the Promenade Casa del Mar. When we checked in, there were no beach front suites available, so our suite was on the side of the building. All the rooms have some view of the beach. The room we were in had a weird smell (kind of smelled like urine) so we asked to be... More

Amazing position, in front of the beach. Excellent for location (closed to Barra downtown and other commercial center). large room, confortable but not so new (related to price level). More

Decent hotel in a nice location across the street from a relatively quiet beach (especially during the week), and the prices is not bad. Note you are far from the main part of Rio itself (you can get there by a combination of bus and subway, but it is not quick and easy to do so). Even if your business... More

Why go anywhere else... this hotel has everything you need.. don't get me wrong, It aint luxury but offers clean and tidy rooms.. The staff really look after you and the location is ideal.. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Rio... fab.. More
