Excellent location close to the beach, many restaurants, shops, supermarkets and transport. The area felt safe when walking at night. Security in the building was very good. Having breakfast on the patio was pleasant.
Our suite had a very comfortable king-sized bed, A/C, fan, TV, safe, and small fridge. With our luggage in the room there was very little space to move around.
We paid a $37.00 cleaning fee for our 3-night stay and the results were not evident. Our bathroom, bedroom and the kitchen could use a good scrubbing. We have stayed in Rio before at this price range in much cleaner accommodation.
Mario was out-of-town during our stay so we did not benefit from any of his suggestions and can make no comments about them.
