Hotel La Brise, Cabo Frio

Pros: The staff are genuinely helpful and friendly. The breakfasts were good but I expected a little better from Brazil (food is great in this country). The swimming pool was extremely clean and the grounds are comfortable with lush tropical trees and foliage. NO BUGS !!! The beautiful beach is a stone throw away; be careful not to get sun burned. Put on the sun screen !!! The beach is safe at least when we went; but it's never a good idea to let your guard down anywhere in Brazil. Cons: Hard to sleep with the noisy antiquated A/C unit in the rooms (but hey, this is Brazil). And the noisy mini bar fridge? I just unplugged it ! And yes, I would return here. Best to bring your own laptop otherwise internet is dysfunctional at 5 reals for 30 minutes (TOO SLOW TO BE USABLE) but again, hey, this is Brazil where most electronics are totally out of date.
