Costa Verde Mountain Vacations

None

Hotel was good and the staff were helpful. One significant issue was an activity organized through the hotel. We were signed up to go to a football game at Maracanã. We were picked up at 4, got to the stadium at nearly 7 and then were told our tickets weren’t valid. We were abandoned by our host without a word and another person came over to help who couldn’t speak English. We were hanging around the stadium until close to 8:20 (the game started at 7:30) before we were told we weren’t going to be able to get in. We had to push very hard to get them to take us back to our hotel which was around 9pm. We did get a refund, but it was a waste of a night, supremely stressful and a terrible experience. Though the hotel were not responsible for this disaster of a tour, it was recommended by them so they get to share the responsibility.

Staff were excellent on arranging for early check in which was welcome after an overnight flight and early morning arrival.

Hotel was nice, good location. Beautiful roof top pool, however a glass was broken and it was shut down while we were there- so that was a bummer. Kids play room was awesome as was the sauna. Breakfast daily was nice to be included but the food was just okay. Negatives: elevators took a very very long time and had long lines almost all hours of the day.

I stayed here a few years ago and it was fabulous. I think the hotel is under different management. You used to receive champagne when walking in the door and now it’s coffee or water. I was assigned probably the worst room in the hotel with extraordinary noise on both sides from staff areas. To top it off, you are charged for the coffee in your room.

Very nice location - clean and safe, great for walking or biking. Breakfast was excellent!
