Hotels near Ilha Da Gigoia

"Proximity to the beach is the best part of this property."

"The hotel is located in an upscale Neighbourhood that is close to a more private beach with fewer people. It is about a half hour or more depending on traffic from Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. There are restaurants along the main street. There was a Terrace on the 18th floor, which has an excellent view of the city and the multilingual front desk staff is excellent to work with for recommendations and directions. If you want to try the subway it is about a 10 minute Uber ride to the local station and the subway is very simple to take based on my experience in other foreign cities. If you are a senior citizen, you can present your ID to a staff person and ask if they will let you ride free. The ride from the airport is approximately 45 - 60 minutes depending on traffic and the Uber option is the best in my opinion. I took a taxi from the airport mid day and paid $75 Rs. I used the hotel one time for pizza which was excellent, but overall the prices there were a bit inflated and I spent more time checking out local culture and foods in different areas of the city. I would also recommend that you try one of the boat tours along the coast. I enjoyed a sunset cruise, which worked out well for me. I plan to come back when the weather is nicer. I would say that May probably isn't the best time of year weatherwise and my understanding is that November and December are warmer with more sun."

"Good location, nice staff and affordable price"

"Hotel tem um staff muito despreparado para o serviço que promete oferecer. Quartos espaçosos, varanda com apenas 1 cadeira para sentar e ver o mar, não pudemos usufruir como casal. Banheiro limpo, sem shampoo e sabonete, foi solicitado na recepção, após mais de 40 min de espera, pedi para a menina que fazia limpeza em outro quarto. Ela não tinha nenhum, mas me deu um copo com um pouco do sabonete líquido do quarto que estava limpando. No café da manhã as mesas disponíveis estavam sujas e precisamos pedir para alguém limpar. No checkout, a mesma falta de respeito com o hóspede. Enquanto me atendia parou para conversar com outra funcionária, depois atendeu outra hóspede e só então finalizou o meu atendimento. Não recomendo. "

"Buena ubicación"

"The staff were unhelpful and definitely not a place to stay if you are an english speaking tourist. At times, they will not be able to help any requests and will speak about you to eachother in front of you. If asked for help, staff will leave to “fix the issue” and disappear for 10 minutes despite telling you it’ll be a few minutes. Upon retuning, they’ll greet coworkers, go behind the counter and “work” on stuff until approached again regarding request. Definitely needs better staff but otherwise, good and growing location, close enough to attractions. Generic requests are well received and most times, staff was great and helpful, just something to be weary about for anyone coming in with poor portuguese."

"Apartment was fine, comfortable bed, safe area. Check in was quite slow and bathroom felt a bit old."
