Fantastic (real close to it)
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/4/10
We are recommending it to everyone. The price was great. The room was comfortable. The staff was very attentive, alert, friendly, quick and efficient. Metro is very close. The staff located great cabs to match our other varied transportation needs.
Most of the staff spoke some English, and if needed, a person fluent in English showed up immediately.
Fantastic massages are available a couple of blocks away at Inovative for $25 an hour.
The views from the pool are fabulous. Nice workout area. The bar there and at the restaurant were great 7 of the 8 days (average on 1 day). The meals were huge, tasteful and inexpensive. The free breakfast bar was fantastic.
Rio is not the safest city in the world, but the staff helped assure a great, safe, fun vacation.
Highly recommended.
