"Wonderful hotel!! This is our second time here. The staff was so friendly and helpful. Great location right in front of the Copacabana beach. The view from our room (lux casal) was absolutely stunning. The room was super spacious and comfortable, the shower and the jacuzzi were wow! And the pool and bar on the roof and the gym - everything is just perfect!! We will definitely come back again."
