We are locals who frequent the city often but it was the first time we have stayed here. Vila d'este is extremely well located and offers excellent services and amenities. Breakfast is good with a nice variety that includes fresh squeezed juices and gluten free options. Our room was clean and comfortable (although the air conditioner digital display annoyed me a little bit due to its light emission intensity) and we really enjoyed the heated pool overlooking the bay.
Why I do not give it 5 stars? Vila d'este has all the ingredients to be one of the top hotels in Búzios and actually it is, but its neighbors Casas Brancas and (specially) Abracadabra both have something else in my humble opinion. Vila d'este needs more "energy": a bit more enthusiasm from the staff, an improvement in the restaurant "Egeo" (which is a beautiful spot but seems underrated though)...
Overall our experience was great and I would definitely come back.More
