This is a beautiful boutique hotel in a perfect location. Our room was very comfortable, although we didn't have a sea view it didn't matter because there are lots of comfortable seating areas around the pool and a nice lounge. There is an infinity pool that faces the bay and a few sunbeds around it. It is a short walk into the very busy town with lots of shops and restaurants. There are some walks you can do to explore the local beaches and the peninsula. You can get a buggy tour as well. The location of the hotel means you don't get lots of noise from the town. The restaurant is excellent with a large choice of beautifully presented dishes. An extensive drinks menu and a separate pool menu. The staff were absolutely lovely and we were made very welcome by Denise who kept us up to date with any information we needed. An absolute gem of a hotel, we loved it.

The best hotel in búzios by far!! The food is delicious, the people are amazing, the views unbelievable, everything was perfect and there is nothing bad to say about the hotel. I recommend it 100%, you will not regret it!! It was my birthday during our stay, during the morning of my bday we went to the breakfast and they brought me a cake, I asked everyone in the group if they said or ask for it and it was all done by the hotel itself. The attention to detail is out of this world. Búzios itself is amazing but the hotel made the experience even better, way more than I expected!!!

Terrific hotel all around. Location. Staff. Amenities. Food/ beverage/ service and vibe. I stayed at a few hotels in Bùzios and this was far and away the best. Incredibly accommodating, friendly and genuine staff from the front desk to the restaurant. Incredible cuisine and outstanding cocktails. Whether you’re a solo traveler, with your family or on a romantic escape…this is your spot

We absolutely loved the pousada. Truly above our expectations. The suite (room 16) offered an excellent view of the bay + private terrace. The decoration has just the right tone of comfort, coziness and beach vibe. Beautiful infinity pool. The restaurant Mistico on our doorstep is probably the best in town, with an excellent Chilean chef. Great friendly service. All quite professional. Strongest recommendation !

Just returned from 6 incredible days at the abracadabra Pousada over Christmas. The staff are truly what make this place so incredible- all our waiting staff at lunch and dinner were fantastic, attentive, fun and always looking to go the extra mile. Fabio especially was always there to greet us with a smile and check if we wanted more wine ( usually always yes!) The breakfast staff were a little more formal and didn’t seem as friendly but we put that down to their English not being as strong. Be sure to ask for a pool menu at lunch, on our first day I was a bit disappointed as it all looked very formal, but they do have a pool menu with sandwiches, salads and snacks etc we spoke to some people who didn’t realise this until the last day and had just been craving some French fries etc On Christmas Day we had planned to go into town but it absolutely poured down, we arrived at Mystico and they sorted us a fantastic table at such last minute. Everytime we dropped our key off our room was usually made within around half an hour which was very impressive. The hotel is literally a 3 minute walk into town if that and we always felt really safe and lots of bars and restaurants there. Denise on reception was really helpful, especially in booking transfers back to Rio. This hotel ended up being such a highlight of our entire trip around Brazil and we would absolutely return in heart beat.

Abracadabra is a magical paradise perched atop a hillside overlooking Armação dos Búzios, Brazil. Located 106 miles from Rio de Janeiro, I pre-arranged a private taxi to collect us at the airport and then drive us for 3 and a half hours, which included a stop for lunch, to Buzios. Abracadabra staff welcomed us with a refreshing beverage and carried our luggage to room #15. Highly recommend this room because of the large porch and extraordinary views. The room felt like a spa. Linen white walls, luxurious beds and linens, and refreshing decor all make for a feeling of renewal and rest. Room fridge with minibar, shampoo, lotion, and soap all provided - top quality. Buzios sports 23 unique beaches, each with its own character, offerings, and amenities. The hotel provides pool/beach towels anytime. When you return from the beach, they kindly take them and offer fresh towels. Nice. The infinity pool is perfect for lap swimming and the perfect place to take a dip and enjoy a cocktail as you watch the sunset. Cocktails and food are always available. Instead of a "hotel" feeling, you feel as if you are at an estate with all the richness that word implies. With the friendly and accommodating staff, spotless rooms and patios, the well-appointed decor, the property makes you feel like there is no other place you'd ever want to be. I'm ready to make this home. This slice of paradise is popular with couples, honeymooners, and people like me who need to rest, unplug, and find their center once again. I found that center, that grounding at Abracadabra. How did I do that? The staff is extraordinary in their friendliness and warmth. I called them the mid-westerners of South America. Down to earth, easy to talk to, accommodating, and engaging. When I approached the owner Jose about how lovely the staff were he replied, "Oh, they work with their souls." What? I was blown away, not only did he nail it, I wanted to apply for a job! Can you imagine your boss saying that? Me neither, but it showed. If you think this can't get better, it does. Now the hotel would rock on its own, and stand on its own merits, but the Mystico restaurant and Chilean Chef Felix make you wonder if you are really dead and if this is Heaven. The cuisine is off the charts. I will write that review next. I am a person, don't hate me, who is not "into" food, I'm not a foodie, I don't look forward to eating, it is a task needed to fuel my body and get on to the next thing. That all changed at Mystico. Suddenly, I was not just eating and fueling, I was enraptured by the flavors, textures, and presentation of the meals. Life changing. Thank you to the owner Jose, you're a friend for life, Felix the Manager, Chef Felix who changed my life, Denise, Ingrid, Fabio, Fabian,

Great design of the rooms, natural materials, and a bit of jungle feeling with the best restaurant, bar, and pool area to disconnect and get the freshest food and drinks. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, giving great advice for plans around the island and helpful to plan further your trip.
