Royal Rio Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"When we arrived at Royal Palace close to 10 AM, the staff informed us that if we wanted early check-in, there would be an additional $60 charge. They also included breakfast, and our room was ready within about 30 minutes, which we appreciated. The room itself was comfortable, although it did not have a view. I was a bit disappointed with the breakfast, as most of the hot food was cold and overly salty. However, the fruit selection was fresh and offered a good variety. One thing I really liked about this hotel was the location. There were many convenient stores nearby, along with several good local restaurants within walking distance."

Othon Palace Copacabana Rio

6/10 Okay

"When we arrived at Othon Palace around 2:30 PM, there was a long line for check-in, but one of the staff members kindly assisted us right away and took us to her office since we were traveling with young kids. She mentioned there would be an additional $60 dollars per night for an upgraded room, but unfortunately, the room she offered was not available in the end. I was surprised when we entered room 1511 and noticed cracks on the wall beside the door. Considering how much we paid for this hotel, I expected more. The furniture and carpet also felt old and outdated. The best part of the stay was definitely the beachfront location, although we could still hear noise from people across the street as well as the waves at night. The buffet breakfast was great and offered a good variety, which we really enjoyed during our stay. The pool area was also very nice. While the pool was not heated, the water was slightly warm and still enjoyable. At checkout, my husband was mistakenly charged for the upgraded room that we never received. It was only corrected and refunded after I went back to the front desk and asked about the charges."

Hotel Nacional Rio de Janeiro OFICIAL

6/10 Okay

"My overall experience at this hotel was okay. However, I would consider it more a strong 3-star property rather than a 5-star property. During my stay, I encountered an issue involving housekeeping removing a personal belonging. I was able to provide clear evidence to support my claim. Initially, my concern was not handled impartially, as there appeared to be a tendency to side with the housekeeping staff. However, upon reviewing the evidence, the team made efforts to address the matter and offered appropriate accommodation. I would like to commend the guest relations team and the hotel supervisor, both of whom were courteous and attentive in ensuring that the remainder of my stay was as comfortable and smooth as possible. In general, the hotel was clean and maintained good security standards. However, the breakfast buffet offered limited options and did not stand out as a notable feature of the stay."

Windsor Oceanico

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved my stay at Windsor Ocean! The hotel was beautiful, clean, and in the perfect location with stunning ocean views. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, always making sure we had everything we needed. The rooms were comfortable, modern, and very well maintained. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of options, and the overall atmosphere made the experience feel relaxing and luxurious. This hotel truly made our trip to Rio even more memorable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting!"

Fairmont Rio de Janeiro Copacabana

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Fairmont. We had a family suite which was perfect for a family of five. We also had the gold package which included access to the lounge. There was often food and drinks in there that was included in our package. This was a big help having kids and always having somewhere to go for food. The staff was incredibly helpful. The rooms were clean. They had access to the beach already set up, which made it very easy. I would highly recommend staying at the Fairmont if you’re bringing your family to Rio."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Cavalcanti?

The best time to visit Cavalcanti is during the dry season, from May to September, when the weather is generally sunny and warm, making it ideal for outdoor activities.
