Ok, so let's start with the good bits: I love the location of this hotel! Being a Carioca that lived in Barra for many years this is an easy win! The Sheraton is in a great walking part of the beach, with their own chairs on the sand and some good eating nearby (try Bar Devassa for good Rio beer... More

The food is average as is breakfast but good for that part of the world. Nice location to the beach and taxi into town is cheap and... More

I stayed in the hotel on a number of occasions over the past 5 years. It is NEW compared to other hotels in Rio. It must have been built in the 1990s and, though the age is starting to show, it still wins out hugely relative to the, generally speaking, obsolete hotel stock in Rio. The good things are: gym,...

This hotel is a little expensive, but then again so are most hotels in Rio. At least with this one you'll be guaranteed staff that speak good English at reception, and clean, modern rooms.

It’s a hotel for business travelers, located in the Barra neighborhood. Although it offers a nice structure, with a great poor, spa and Jacuzzi, its rooms are very muggy and the carpet need to be urgently changed. The restaurant is nice, but expensive, and the breakfast is very complete. Internet connection is not included in the room rate and, although... More
