An older property, which is nice cause the rooms are bigger. Nice and helpful staff. We arrived around lunch, were not able to check in, but the hotel did keep our luggage so we could walk around. Welcome drinks were a treat. The cons are the pool being on the shaded side of the hotel. Overall, good experience at the hotel, did not enjoy the beach, too many vendors all looking for your business, same on the street, we later found Castillogrande beach, and would recommend that area if you want some peace and quiet beach time.

This hotel is really good it has an excellent view of rio! I was able to check in early and check out late and that was a huge help and staff was really nice on that. The only think is their furniture on the first floor they are all stained and that does not look good. Area feel safe. The only issue that there are not a lot of dining options. Also you will have to take uber everywhere unless you want to take public transportation. Uber is safe and not expensive.

This was my second time here and i enjoyed it as i did the last time. I find the staff very friendly and helpful and the overall amenities for the price point very good. I especially enjoy the gym which is probably one of the best hotel gyms i've experienced. I also apprecaite the hotel decoration for the holidays. The only critique i would give is that while fully functinonal and comfortable, the rooms could use a revitalized or updated style to keep in league with other hotels on the same price point. Overall i was very pleased with my stay and look forward to my next visit there.

Good location. Service at the pool is the worst. The servers only serve the girls they find hot. They also play super loud music with nasty lyrics and they forget that there’s kids there listening to those songs. Our bathroom was also poorly cleaned and the shower was full of grime.
