"This is not a hotel, it rents rooms by the hour it is a brothel,we booked for the night through expedia. It does not have a cafe, coffee shop or restaurant, it has a 24 hr kitchen that will bring meals to your room. There is no pool and nobody speaks english. The pictures do not match the property. It is a very dangerous area of the city, where Uber drivers are hesitant to come pick you up. We only stayed the one night and have to question why Expedia lists this property."

"We loved our stay here! A special shout-out to the staff who were amazing—so friendly, helpful, and always impeccably dressed. The place is also incredibly clean, from the rooms to the rest of the hotel. The location is absolutely perfect. It’s right in front of a big rock ("morro") that splits the beach in two. You can literally walk 10 meters to one side and have calm water for swimming, or go to the other side for great surf. Being so close to the Recreio market is a huge bonus too—it’s...
