Wyndham Rio Barra

If you prefer less crowded beaches Barra da tijuca is great. Wyndham Rio barra offers beach kits and has a really nice pool. The rooms with partial ocean view are nice but mine had some wear and humidity signs, the bed was really comfortable. We did not spend much so it was absolutely worth it.

I rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated to warn others: do NOT stay at this hotel. I paid for what was supposed to be their “best room,” and what we were initially given was absolutely unacceptable—run-down, depressing, and clearly not what I paid for. Only after complaining did they move us, and even then, the “upgrade” was a joke. The room we ended up in still had major issues. The doors didn’t work properly, the air conditioning in the main room was broken, and to top it all off—I found a cockroach. Yes, in their best room. The entire property is in rough shape and badly in need of renovations. I spoke to other guests who were just as horrified. No one I met had a good experience. The beach out front is mediocre at best, and unless you’re up at the crack of dawn, you can forget about getting a beach chair or even a towel. They simply run out. Unacceptable for a so-called “resort.” The whole experience felt like a scam. Don’t be fooled by the photos or the descriptions—this hotel is nothing like what they promise. Save yourself the money, time, and frustration. Don’t go.

Wonderful location but the room was probably one worst I've ever experienced. The room had sand all over the floor, stains on the walls, black mold in the bedroom and bathroom, and ants crawling in the bathroom that ended up getting into my suitcase. When we spoke ti the front desk initially we were told there weren't anymore rooms to upgrade us too, then when we requested a refund which we had already planned to leave, they came back and offered another room and said they weren't going to refund us for the additional night because they offered another room. To top it off when Amex called to process the refund they pretended that no-one at the front desk spoke English.
