My husband and I are going to be in Rio for Carnaval and we have reservations at the Hotel Real Palace on Duivier Street near Copacobana beach. Has anyone heard of or had a good or bad experience at this hotel?
Rio de Janeiro, RJ
This hotel has a good relation cost x benefit, the instalations are good, very close to the Subway
It is 3 blocks from Copacabana beach. Copacabana has a good beach, but the best place to go to the beach is at "Post 9" or "Post 10", that is in Ipanema beach.
It is good to highlight that Rio's Subway is a great service, the price is almost nothing, less than 1US$, has air conditioner and very safe inside... but don't push your lucky, keep low profile in all places and you will be fine in Rio.
If you have any questions you can find a link to my personal page at:

Have a great time in Rio de Janeiro.
