Brazil Adventure Vacations

A broad variety of choices for breakfast!

I will start by saying the hotel was in a great location. Being right there on Ipanema beach and just steps away from the beach. It was located near many restaurants and local stores. The staff were welcoming and all were very helpful throughout my stay, making me feel like I was on vacation. However, I have stayed at many hotels and the amount of money I spent on the Lux Vista Mar Panoramico was not worth it. The room had this weird smell. It smelled like urine. The room was very outdated. The only thing good about the room was the view. Also, there was construction going on so from bright and early every morning on my vacation, I could hear banging and knocking. The walls are very thin, you can hear people talking on the beach, playing music all night and the room is on the 15th floor. So let’s just say, I barely got any good sleep. There wasn’t an iron in the room, waited an hour to get one and when I did get one, it was broken, the water poured right out. There was a used towel in the bathroom when I first arrived. The elevators took a very long time to come and the breakfast options were limited. I couldn’t wait to leave that hotel. I wouldn’t stay here again.

very gooood breakfast buffet with international and local options, vegan options, no gluten options, green juice etc.. the rooms very isolated and warming,

Overall stellar location, staff was absolutely delightful. Older property but clean and well maintained. Would absolutely stay again!

Breakfast was okay, good selection but the hot food was not that good. My room was 1403, right next to the rooftop bar/pool. In the morning it was incredibly noisy from the workers setting everything up between 7am and 9am. A lot of noise from the floor above as well in the morning, but that is another patio space, not rooms. I would not recommend the 14th floor because the staff is not considerate noise wise.

Overall a great stay. The room was clean, the staff were all fantastic and helpful, and the breakfast selection was excellent and slightly different each day. The hotel is also straight across the road from the beach, and they have staff on the beach that will give you chairs, a table and a sun umbrella. There is also a pool on the roof with a great view and a small bar which is lovely - great overall experience. The only trouble we had was that the wifi in the room was quite poor and intermittent (although it worked fine in the lobby, restaurant etc.
