My wife and I had a very pleasant stay here over Christmas 2011. The location is good for beaches and the walk into the town a pleasant 15-20 minutes stroll. We never felt the need to use a taxi. The beach closest to the pousada (Joao Fernades) is good but was very busy over the holiday, although curiously tended to empty out around 4 pm.

The chalet we had was fine, and although a number of chalets have been squeezed into a small area of the plot it has been done quite artfully, so that all have a good view from the balconies. I would note that the bed was a little on the small side by US standards although we slept well.

The Front Office was very efficient and transfers, car rentals etc. were all organised very efficiently. The (English speaking) owners were only occasionally around during our stay and the English language skills of the regular staff was mixed resulting in a few comic moments as our Portuguese was non existent, but this was not really an issue. I have no doubt that if we had had a problem the owners would have stepped in.

I would note that the after care service was excellent, and Alicia made a big effort to return some items that had been left behind. .

My wife and I stayed four nights here and enjoyed Pousada Hibiscus Beach very much. The rooms are spacious and clean and the location excellent for beaches, the centro district, and transport to the rest of Buzios. The morning breakfast buffet is generous with lots of fresh fruit, breads, eggs/sausage, and cereal, and coffee is available throughout the day and evening. We had one maintenance issue while there but the staff was quick to clean it up and make the necessary repairs - I believe that they did all that was possible over the weekend. Excellent staff - friendly and personable. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

The Hibiscus Beach Pousada is one of the nicest places I've stayed in in Brazil. The private bungalow was lovely. Each has a deck overlooking the sea. the WiFi service is fine on the deck, so it's a great place to sit & catch up on your e-mail.

The staff is friendly & helpful. They serve an excellent breakfast. They provided good quick laundry service. What more could you want? I will always stay at the Hibiscus Beach Pousada whenever I return to Buzios.

We had a delightful time 8 years ago...and returned in March 2011...the staff...our bungalow...all was a delight....and we were booked into the same exact bungalow (must be karma) great restaurants and vistas within walking distance...and invaluable local info....the manager even booked a schooner cruise for us that was very enjoyable. We live in the Virgin Islands and really appreciated the great vistas and beauty of the seaside little town of Buzios.
Joedna & Randy....we shall return!!
