Nice newer hotel at a great price!

I loved the Orla, go for the deluxe rooms rather than standard rooms for a few bucks more like we did. The deluxe room ocean view is 100% worth it compared to the view from the other rooms(brick walls). Once you get over the overall smaller sized rooms/beds and the small pool, you'll love it. Nice modern decor(most hotels on Copacabana are older/less modern), very clean, fridges, friendly/helpful staff and excellent complimentary breakfast. Full of international young fun travelers like us. We enjoyed the location as well, quick walking distance to Ipanema beach(the better beach) than the rest of the Copacabana beach hotels.
