I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the rooms offered a great view of the pool and beach areas, but on the other hand, my ocean view room actually faced the road/mountain side, which was a bit disappointing. The faulty air conditioning that leaked into the room also affected my stay negatively.

The hotel's location was okay with a nice little beach, but it was quite secluded from major areas like Leblon and a significant taxi drive away from the Santos Dumont airport. However, the overall setting looked amazing compared to other hotels in the area.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a kitchenette and a separate area for the sleeper couch, but lacks some amenities. The service is very attentive and quick to assist, though at an additional cost. The location can be ideal for those seeking a secluded beach experience, but proximity to a 'favela' across the street may raise safety concerns. The dining options are varied but not exceptional, and the facilities are satisfactory overall.

The hotel offers amazing views over Rio from its rooftop bar and the rooms. The rooms are spacious and feature breathtaking views, although they might need some updating regarding the fixtures. On the downside, amenities like breakfast and Wi-Fi are not included. The staff is attentive and goes above and beyond to assist guests, particularly at the L'etoile restaurant. The location is fabulous with easy access to Leblon and a convenient Uber ride to enjoy the nightlife. Dining options are diverse, with some standout dishes and drinks like the caipirinhas at the pool. The facilities are well-maintained and offer great comfort.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely wonderful! The room had everything I needed and was well-appointed with a very comfortable bed and a beautiful view from the balcony. The service was exceptional; Ramon at the front desk went out of his way to help us with all our excursions. The location couldn't have been better, right on a beautiful beach where I could easily go for a walk without needing a taxi. The dining experience was top-notch with an excellent selection of local dishes. Overall, a fantastic experience with just a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were nice and cozy with a beautiful view, although there was a cracked window covered by curtains. The staff was friendly and accommodating, except for a couple of poolside staff members. The location was interesting but had some transportation inconveniences. The dining experience was varied but not up to the high standard of the hotel. The facilities were satisfactory, although there were some noise issues from staff elevators during the night.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were dingy, my mid-range room had a beautiful view overlooking the ocean. The service was a bit hit-or-miss, with some staff members being very friendly while others seemed indifferent. The location was fabulous, offering amazing views over Rio from the top floor rooms, but transportation options were pricey. The dining options were decent but not exceptional, with higher prices for average meals. Overall, the facilities were good, with a large, beautiful pool and excellent children's pool.
