Bonfim Island

Very nice Hotel, really it os not beach front, but the closest to The beach can get, a main street away! It is an old property, the staff is very nice and helpful, the building is old and the elevators take a while. Location is great! Good place but pricy for the infrastructure.

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Santa Teresa MGallery in Rio. This boutique hotel in the artsy Santa Teresa neighborhood, a mix of historic charm with modern luxury. The location offers beautiful views and a peaceful atmosphere. My room was stylish, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff was warm and attentive, the pool area is stunning, and the food (especially breakfast) was excellent. An oasis in Rio — highly recommended for a memorable, upscale experience!

Pool, views, gym, sauna, and overall vibe of the hotel is amazing. Right on Copacabana beach, amazingly convenient location. However, when we stayed there was ongoing construction going on; loud hammering, drilling, nonstop from early morning into the late evening. Would return and give 5 stars if/when that is finished. Also had a few issues with check out and room charges being messed up/confusion from the front desk worker. The manager was able to fix everything and comp us for one night, but be warned on construction.
