Rio Stay Apart Hotel

Top notch.

Being so close to Riocentro was a real plus. The flat was wonderful, and we felt at home. My wife is very particular about cleanliness, and she was impressed by how clean it was. We liked everything, and the hosts were very attentive.

There are plenty of facilities here, including a restaurant, sauna, hot tub, pool, tennis court, gym, kids' area, laundry, barbecue, and free private parking. The accommodation was clean, tidy, fresh-smelling, and tastefully decorated. It has a Nespresso machine for a coffee on arrival, a desk area for work, a wardrobe and hangers, and a roomy queen bed with sheets, pillows, and a blanket. There's also a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a minibar, free Wi-Fi, and a bathroom with a hot shower and soft towels.

The building is a bit farther from Barra, so you'll need a car for most trips. If you do come by car, though, you can have a great stay here. The flat has a comfortable, nicely decorated room with almost everything we needed for a very comfortable visit. We were impressed by the care and thought put into it, including the excellent coffee capsules and complimentary water waiting for us. The pool, tennis court, and sauna are great, and there's even a small market in the building for picking up things without going out. Victor, our host, was exceptionally attentive. He shared tips and restaurant suggestions, and even showed us how to set the lights to make the flat feel cozier. The stay was a real treat.
