Búzios hotellia

Plussat: Best hotel I’ve ever been in! I total’y recommend:) Super romantic, everything was perfect

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Well decorated Nice heated pool

Miinukset: Bad smell from some cleaning products in the room and in the hotel areas. It was almost unbearable and we had to change room cause the smell was too strong. It felt like the hotel did the best not to change our room and only after we said we will cancel the booking they “upgraded” to a room without smell (we are celebrating honeymoon so getting upgraded shouldn’t be that an issue..)

Plussat: Staff Facilities Location Views Food Pools

Miinukset: It’s not cheap and laundry was overpriced so beware.

Plussat: Breakfast was good, nice and fresh each day. Staff were super friendly. Bar tenders were exceptional mixologists!

Plussat: The breakfast was great, and the hot pool with the magnificent view is a charm, best place to stay in Buzios !

Miinukset: Our room was humid - don’t know why..

Plussat: Restaurant was excellent

Miinukset: Difficult staff inflexible to a fault

Plussat: Casas Brancas has a mediterranean feel, sophisticated but not overdone. Rooms are so cosy and well designed. The beds super comfortable. Views from the rooms are spectacular. The housekeeping staff so attentive, breakfast ladies in their crisp white gowns, making sure we had all we needed, remembering how we like our coffee in the morning. Food in the restaurant and roomservice by Chef Gonzalo's restaurant 74 from another world!! We just didn’t want to leave!! Had lunch and dinner in the hotel every day because we wanted to taste it all.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: The best in Búzios. Luxury hotel that meets the highest of international standards. People working there are super efficient, friendly and excellent at their jobs. Room and views were beyond expectation. Spotlessly clean.

Miinukset: Bar prices were too high. Especially for a basic drinks, like water, wine and beer. We would have consumed more in the hotel rather than surrounding bars. On a postive note, the people working in the bar and restaurant were the best we have come across anywhere.

Plussat: Four of us stayed recently at Casas Brancas. It was a wonderful experience, the location, the food but in particular the staff. Their attention to detail was amazing

Plussat: Amazing staff, facilities, location and food! Service is of the highest standard. Ivan was great! Would highly recommend a stay here. Taxi service from Rio was excellent.

Miinukset: Couldn’t fault anything

Plussat: We stayed two nights at the end of our honeymoon. Our room was exquisite, comfortable, and private with an incredible covered balcony and breathtaking views of the bay from every spot in the room--even the shower, which opens onto the balcony! The balcony soaking tub was lovely. The bed, sofa, and outdoor daybed are all extremely comfortable, and every inch of this amazing property is beautiful and thoughtfully decorated. The staff is highly attentive and friendly, and clearly takes great pride in the property and in the experience they provide for their guests. Breakfasts were unbelievable, as were our two dinners in their world-class restaurant, 74. The bar is equally excellent and innovative, offering delicious and exciting, one-of-kind cocktails alongside fresh takes on classic ones, and like the restaurant, often using ingredients made onsite. My wife and I look forward to returning to Búzios, and after our experience at Casas Brancas, we would not dream of staying anywhere else. Our highest possible recommendation. We felt like movie stars.

Plussat: Everything. The building itself, decor, comfy beds, staff is so amazing (specially the restaurants' maitre) excellent breakfast and we also had dinner and it was absolutely amazing. I have nothing to point wrong. Even the uniforms are so beautiful. Everything was very clean, amenities were great. 100% incredible. We will come back for sure.

Miinukset: The only thing I was not confortable with was the lack of light between the SPA and the Bar facing the Rua das Pedras. I guess it should have a bit more light.

Plussat: They know how to treat their guests, the staff was really helpful and nice, the place is unbelievable and we had a great time there.

Miinukset: When the restaurant is busy, the portion size goes down a little.

Plussat: Casas Brancas is stunning! The rooms are great, the view is fantastic and the staff is fabulous... will surely go back to Buzios and stay at Casas Brancas again!!!

Plussat: Great experience! They offer a superb service and charge you accordingly for it.

Miinukset: It was a very minor thing, but the white uniform of the staff reminded me of slaves. There's no correlation between this and the reality. It was my thing and the employees seem happy.

Plussat: We didn’t want to leave!!! Everything about our experience at La Chimere was amazing! It’s a gorgeous property that’s super clean and well maintained. The location is awesome for walking to restaurants and amazing beaches. The staff went above and beyond to help us with everything from transportation to what beaches to go to. The breakfast was perfect! We will absolutely be back!

Plussat: Cute boutique hotel with a beautiful sitting room, little heated pool that’s just the right size and nice rooms. This hotel is good value for money. Breakfast was good too. You can walk down the street about 200m to a little beach which ended up being my favourite for the area.

Miinukset: Sometime there were mozzies in room at night which is normal for the area. We went an purchased bug spray so would have been nice if the hotel provided in the room.

Plussat: The hotel is very nice and generally we were happy.

Miinukset: Generally we did like the hotel, however staff should have informed us as tourists that we require to pay for parking. Hopefully they will inform any future guest arriving with a car.

Plussat: The hotel was friendly and welcoming. Staff were very helpful. Modern and very. clean The breakfast was excellent and the waiting staff at breakfast happy to make you pancakes/omelettes etc. Loved the complimentary afternoon coffee and cake. Easy walk to the lovely Ossos beach and longer but very nice walk into the centre of Buzios.

Miinukset: Pool was small and didn’t really use.

Plussat: Excellent property in a fantastic location. Staff so helpful and friendly

Plussat: Beautiful hotel right on the beach of Osos. Very quiet and romantic. Attention to detail in the rooms and from all the staff.

Plussat: Location , reception , dinner

Plussat: Great Location, beach service, all the staff is amazing! Very clean and beautiful spot - highly recommend.

Miinukset: Nothing - everything was wonderful!

Plussat: Wonderful place, amazingly charming and very quiet while near bars and restaurants. Great location on a nice place and with direct access to a lovely beach. Excellent breakfast and very nice and helpful staff. Good restaurant for lunch or diner : ceviche and mocequa de peixe are great choices !

Miinukset: Sunbeds rather than chairs would be great at the beach.

Plussat: Decoration was amazing! Staff were friendly, kind and helpful ! I really recommend it, lovely place and lovely people there!

Plussat: Amazing view. Sunset was breathtaking!

Plussat: Amazing place w great staff and location! Highly recommend! Douglas at reception was wonderful!

Plussat: The hotel is really pretty. The views from the pool are breathtaking. Also the hotel is very well located near two fabulous beaches

Plussat: I love this place!

Plussat: The staff was great! The location was perfect - walking distance both to a couple of beachs and to the famous "Rua das Pedras" with bars and restaurants. Nice pool with great food and service.

Miinukset: The shower and flushing toilet didn't have enough power.

Plussat: Villa Baobá is absolute lovely. The afternoon tea is a great touch! The bedroom is super clean and comfortable. We were positively surprised and would definitely recommend!

Miinukset: The receptionist sold me a boat tour and it felt like he was more concerned about his commission than our enjoyment. A real shame because it made the reception staff look bad to us.

Plussat: The room was nice and big and comfortable. Staff were lovely. They offered free breakfast, morning tea and afternoon tea. Close walk to the city centre and beach.

Plussat: Excellent location on a quiet street with easy access to the beach and downtown. Staff and Owner were super friendly providing excellent service. The complimentary afternoon tea is a nice touch! Buzios is a great place to spend a few days and you will not find a nicer more affordable place to stay.

Plussat: Great staff, great breakfast and complimentary coffee/snack in the afternoon greatly appreciated. Very cute place

Plussat: We regularly stay at abracadabra and we are never disappointed. We love the infinity pool and the food from the restaurant.

Plussat: Abracadabra exceeded our expectations on every level, from the moment we entered reception. The staff is friendly, helpful and can speak English. Breakfast and dinner is excellent, chef Bruno is fantastic. The views are breathtaking and swimming pool is lovely, we loved the music, bar and our beautiful room. You will not go wrong choosing to stay here.

Plussat: The breakfast was great! The Mystico restaurant was absolutely amazing! The location was perfect!

Miinukset: The only wish is that there were less children and that it didn't rain.

Plussat: Restaurant, sundeck & pool, cleanliness and comfiness of room

Miinukset: Toilet flush lacks of pressure

Plussat: Food was amazing. And the service was incredible. Best view in Buzios.

Plussat: Wonderful pousada in an amazing location. Our room was bright, comfortable and spotlessly clean with an incredible view over the harbour of Buzios. The linen was high quality with L'occitaine bath products. It is a 5 minute walk to Orla Bardot, a long promenade abundant with restaurants lining the sea front. This leads on to Stone street, a pedestrianised area with shops, restaurants etc. We enjoyed some wonderful food and wine, but the best by far was at the Mistico restaurant based in our pousada. The food and service is outstanding and reasonably priced for the quality. The staff here are what makes the place so special, the owner even took us on a private tour of Buzios!. The reception staff are friendly and knowledgeable and recommended local places of interest, beaches, spa etc. The sunsets from the terrace are incredible.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Other than the parking facilities (not adequate), everything else was as expected. It was a very good stay.

Miinukset: Car parking facilities.

Plussat: The place is excellent for families travelling with children, with a good pool and kids club. The staff is very friendly.

Miinukset: In general everything was fine. Nothing to complain.

Plussat: Friendly staff, nice breakfast. The beach nearby (Geribá) is nice.

Miinukset: We found some weird looking worms in our bedroom and I think there was rat poop on one bed.

Plussat: The property is very close to Geriba beach. It was very good value for money considering we were in the high season.

Miinukset: The property is not as exclusive as I thought. Some of the furniture is cheap. The front desk staff was not easy going following to many rules. The beach towels were not complimentary. The shuttle was not punctual, but this was partially caused by amount of cars in the village during high season.

Plussat: Location, cleanliness, staff, all excellent. Good breakfast.

Miinukset: The meals do not correspond to the quality of the hotel.

Plussat: Staff very friendly/helpful....only 5 minute walk to beach...but probably the worst beach in Buzios...crowded noisy no sand expensive food

Miinukset: This hotel is HIGHLY overrated..closer to 3 stars...certainly not 5 star as misrepresented by Booking. The hotel is suitable for Argentines with families/babies, and that's it. If you are American or if you are a couple, this is a terrible choice...there are hundreds of better options at similar prices. NOISY NOISY NOISY. Breakfast looks good..but you can get a better breakfast at any Motel 6 in the USA. Lots of stairs, wifi weak inconsistent

Plussat: Todo Everything!!

Plussat: Breakfast was amazing/nice pool/great views.

Miinukset: Toilet ran and sqeaked, making it noisy after each flush --hard to handle in the middle of the night! :-(

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Needs to be upgraded and run more professionally

Plussat: Over priced! Not clean, found eye lash extensions in the bathroom when checking in. Tap didn't work in our bath room. Windows didn't close properly in bedroom so had mosquitos and the AC was very noisy

Miinukset: Pool and the view

Plussat: Perfect breakfast with fresh fruits and a lot of other lovely things. Great coffee and fresh juices. Nice and peaceful with a lot of staff who cares about what they do. Very special brazilian design, each room is different, and a lot of art on the walls. Restaurant is outstanding, but they also provide you with good ideas where to eat out.

Miinukset: the weather was really poor, but that could not be changed!

Plussat: The best boutique hotel in Buzios, everything was perfect, from friendliness of staff, amenities and location! Will definetly be back soon!

Plussat: It was once a very nice property. Actually it rather very negative therefore read the part 2. The positive part was software or the people of Resort. Very nice welcome, smily, courtesy, very caring. However I would welcome some training, a lot of training in restaurant, some at the reception. And English! Do you need also international tourists? I mean only the front desk and F&B Manager spoke decent english. The location is also beautiful, use Uber to get to the center - not even 10 minutes. Do some outdoor activities the front desk recommend, worth of it.

Miinukset: However, it needs an urgent refurbishment. Urgent I repeat. To us it seemed like a lack for respect for guests, nobody (or better said the owners) cares about the hotel. It looks at every part and let's do not talk about the hidden corners, very decadent and somehow left for good. Being a very expensive one and for sure, having its glorious years behind, it's such a pity to let it die. Now let's talk about everything in details, the room, somehow we were upgraded because the hotel was obviously empty (our stay was in May, good possible not the high season). The center of Buzious was very crowded and full of touristy though! The room was very dark, the balcony area covered by plants, all the day long actually all the night long. The cleanliness, you cannot do much, it's so old that the staff somehow gave up the maintenance. So, rug in front of shower dirty, the floor kind of sticky, again a beautiful parquet needs renovation etc. I can go on for ages. The area closed to the beach, all the lounge furniture needs maintenance, mattresses open ...old...not clean.. At the end of the day it's still a member of designhotels.com. I would urgently recommend to recheck this property. It damages the reputation of the whole organisation. Next time I'll check twice before I book one hotel of design hotels!
