We’ve just spent two nights at Casa Geranio. It’s an absolutely beautiful oasis in amazing Rio with a stunning view. It is in a good location, walking distance to restaurants and bars yet safe, secure, peaceful. We stayed in a room with private pool, stunning room, very beautifully done. The pool was welcome after a day out exploring in the sun. Breakfast is exceptional. Everything made for the moment and changed daily. What sets this place apart is the special care the owners & staff put into making each guests stay special. All of the details have been thought through and it shows with the generosity. We travel a lot and it is rare to find everything executed in such an exceptional way. It is faultless. The owners and staff and so kind and thoughtful. During our month in South America, this was our favorite accommodation. Would not hesitate to recommend this property. Don’t hesitate to book, it would be impossible to regret it.

We had a wonderful stay at the Novotel RJ Santos hotel. Without exception all of the staff made us feel very welcome. We don’t speak Portuguese but everyone made a great effort to either speak English to us or to understand what we wanted. We had breakfast and our evening meals at the hotel every day and both were exceptional. The food was delicious and great value for money. Our room was spotlessly clean. If we go to Rio de Janeiro again we will definitely choose to stay at this hotel.

Greeting upon arrival was exceptional with sparkling wine and welcome you to use their facilities with showers at the gym, changing room and the rooftop restaurant and pool while awaiting for your room. My room balcony #1804 executive sideview wow, my sister's room was a superior room. Even better would be #1801 front view. Hotel location for restaurants no car necessary. Grocery store , breakfast cafe around the corner from the hotel was open late . Great restaurants within a 2 to 3 minutes walk. Nightlife I enjoyed Blue note restaurant with live band upstairs that showcase Stevie Wonder music Saturday night only 6 minutes walk from Portobay hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel which also has a restaurant for breakfast and dinner with the facilities that travelers appreciate from a boutique hotel. The front desk service was outstanding!!
