When is the best time to go to Ribeira?

The best time to go to Ribeira is during the drier, cooler months from May to September. During this period, the weather is generally more pleasant, with lower humidity and less rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the town and enjoying outdoor activities. Temperatures average around 20-25°C, which is comfortable for sightseeing without being overly hot. This time of year is also outside of the main school holiday periods, meaning fewer crowds and a more relaxed experience. For those looking to enjoy the beaches and water activities, the shoulder months of April and October are also excellent. The weather is still very good, with warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine, but the peak season crowds haven't fully arrived or have started to disperse. This offers a good balance of pleasant weather and fewer people. The summer months, from December to March, are the hottest and wettest.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Ribeira hotel for you.

Top Ribeira Hotel Reviews

Hilton Copacabana Rio de Janeiro

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff!"

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."

Royal Rio Palace Hotel

2/10 Terrible

"Had a room with 2 small beds. One bed had a mattress that probably lost a few springs, by the head area. That bed was very small for an adult. Room is small. Staff was great. Breakfast was excellent. The roling toaster need some fixing. Not hot enough. Very noisy people talking loud and screaming loud till 4am. Clientele has no respect for others Overall 3/10. Not coming back."

Windsor California Copacabana

6/10 Okay

"The stay had some positives, but overall I couldn’t give it 5 stars. For the price, the hotel itself felt like it lacked amenities. The reservation I thought I booked was not the one I received, and the water pressure in the room was disappointing. When I brought up my concerns in person, some staff members seemed to have attitudes, which made the experience more frustrating. However, Eiden stood out and was the best employee there. He genuinely did everything he could to help and made the stay better despite the issues."
