Riale Brisa Barra

I rarely make reviews; however, I feel this hotel def deserves to get good feedback! I travel all around the world on business so I’m very used to staying many hotel settings including many prestigious 5 star hotels. Although some of the facilities may be a bit tired, these issues rapidly disappeared into insignificant ‘issues’. It’s never the facility that qualifies a place as being particularly memorable or ‘5 star’, rather, it’s the staff’s attentive care that qualifies them as a special place! The manager, the desk staff, the cleaning staff, and restaurant staff were truly 5 star in my eyes! You’ve nailed it and can’t tell you how much I appreciated your care during my stay! From your warm smiles and seemingly simple gestures such as remembering my name are the things patrons will always remember. Well done and I would highly recommend anyone staying in Rio for business to here because you will feel at home away from home! Thank you!! 👏👏👏

It's in a very good location, and the staff is super friendly. We'd definitely be back in the future. The pool is amazing, too.

The service and staff are very friendly and helpful. Food is ok. Not exceptional, but good. Breakfast is excellent! Many options. It is more a 3-star hotel than a 4-star, as stated. There are other options for better hotels a few steps away from this. I asked for the option of late check-out, and they wanted to charge me over R$400 for a few extra hours. The front desk staff said it is 50% of the daily rate, but at Decolar, you find the daily rate at R$ 410. Also, the room needs significant improvement and repair. Cleaning also needs improvement. The smell was not good coming from the bathroom! Next time, I might check other options in the neighbourhood.
