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.
