Un engaño, un robo. Pagamos por vista al mar y nos dieron vista a un edificio.
Pros:

la UBICACIÓN es espectacular, al frente de la playa y cerca de todo.

Cons:

Pagamos por una habitación con vista al mar, ese fue nuestro tomador de decisión, miramos las fotos en Booking de la habitación que seleccionamos. Luego al llegar nos dieron una habitación con vista a un edificio. Lamentable. Muy mala experiencia. Se sintió un robo, un engaño. Muy malo esto. Imagina que tienes planeadas las vacaciones, pagas por algo que te gusta y te entregan otra cosa. Un detalle: cuando le dijimos esto al recepcionista, cerca de la medianoche (nuestro vuelo aterrizó de noche en Rio) nos dice que está lleno y si no nos gusta que nos vayamos a otro hotel. Así tal cuál, nos invitó a salir a buscar hotel en Rio de noche con nuestras maletas.

Bien
Pros:

Me gustó la vista del hotel, me encantó que te prestan sombrilla, reposera y toalla y tiene muy buena ubicación, frente a la playa y muy cerca de la avenida principal de barra donde hay muchos bares y restaurantes. La limpieza buena, todos los días nos limpiaban la habitación

Cons:

No me gustó que el internet no anduvo ningún día en la habitación, la tele muy antigua, y nos cobran 16 reales el agua caliente!!! En el súper estaban 3 reales la botella, y el restaurante solo es hasta la 21:30 hs
