Beach Hotels & Resorts in Barra de Guaratiba from NZ$44

"The property is a little dated..the toilet seat was broken and the toilet ran all night. No one spoke english, so it was a little challenging with the communication.. We had a balcony room on the tenth floor in the view is absolutely amazing... The food in the restaurant is mediocre at best.."

"I had an oceanfront room and this was an exceptional stay. From the check in assistance by Julia at the front desk, to Gustavo at my check out, I had an amazing stay at Grand Hyatt for 4 days and I'd definitely be back here again. I am very sensitive to noise and even though the oceanfront room is by the avenue, the soundproofing of the balcony door was so superb, once you close it, the whole noise of the outer world is away from you. The bed was incredibly comfortable, the shower was spacious and so was the room, giving me plenty of space to move in it comfortably. The housekeeping was incredible, I am already a very tidy person but when I came back to my room, their touch made things even better than I expected. I loved the fact that the portion of the ocean this hotel sees is much more calmer than most beaches of Rio. I also stopped by Canto for lunch once and a drink when I checked out, and the server Monique was very helpful and warm. Overall, it's been a great experience for me. I was a solo, woman traveller. Would highly recommend this place to anyone interested."

"It was perfect... just outside of Leblon, walking distance... a small cocoon just outside of Rio's brightest beaches!!!"

"Excelente hotel, clásico, con prestaciones correctas, y muy buena zona. Súper recomendable"

"The staff were unhelpful and definitely not a place to stay if you are an english speaking tourist. At times, they will not be able to help any requests and will speak about you to eachother in front of you. If asked for help, staff will leave to “fix the issue” and disappear for 10 minutes despite telling you it’ll be a few minutes. Upon retuning, they’ll greet coworkers, go behind the counter and “work” on stuff until approached again regarding request. Definitely needs better staff but otherwise, good and growing location, close enough to attractions. Generic requests are well received and most times, staff was great and helpful, just something to be weary about for anyone coming in with poor portuguese."

"Great"

"Great place. Very attentive and friendly staff."

"Una noche habia basura en el pasillo y por la mañana seguia ahí. El piso de la habitacion se sentia sucio al pisar descalza. Staff muy amables, sobre todo la chica de recepción que me ayudo a conseguir pizzeria. Desayuno muy rico y completo."

"Apartment was fine, comfortable bed, safe area. Check in was quite slow and bathroom felt a bit old."
