Breakfast was very high scale gourmet with many a la carte options of healthy foods, loved it.

The view, the pool, service and room ... wonderful. I really enjoyed it a lot

We had an ocean view room which overlooked Copacabana beach which was fantastic to view from the balcony.The same view was brilliant from the rooftop pool but having the balcony as well was great. The room was gorgeous and the gym area was good with that amazing view again! Breakfast was all a la carte and very good. We did have to teach them how to make British tea though which was fun! We did not use the main restaurant for dinner at all but did use the pool area for lunch time burgers which were the best ever and the bar for drinks where the cocktails were lovely. All staff were amazing and went out of their way to help. They also booked tickets for Corcovado (Christ the Redeemer) for us but don't bother going there if its cloudy. The Corcovado train ticket does remain valid for weekday visits for 2 weeks but we ran out of days so only saw it in cloud which was a shame.

My only criticism of the room was that there were no drawers to place underwear etc in. When I mentioned this to the concierge she did offer to put some in the room for me but it was already halfway through our stay so I didn't bother. Nice of them to offer though but strange to only have a wardrobe, perhaps a Brazilian way?

Breakfast not included.
