Volveria sin dudas

El hotel es realmente muy lindo y acogedor, le falta un poco de mantenimiento propio del paso del tiempo. El trato, al ser un hotel pequeño es realmente personal y muy bueno. Tienen un patio enorme y hermoso y mas suites todas tienen buena vista y son muy grandes y comodas. La playa de Geriba (a mi criterio la mejor en Buzios) esta a 5 minutos caminando.

Really nice vibe

We had a really nice 3 days stay at Aquabarra. Service is good and provided nice recommendations in buzios. The common spaces are super chilled out and designed with lot of taste. Breakfast was nice and had variety. The spa did not disappoint neither and offered quite fair prices. The area is peaceful and close from Geriba, one of the most beautiful beaches of buzios and less crowded than in the centre. Centre is easily accessible by taxi for $25BR - £5/6€ - Only watch outs would be that the bathroom is very basic: just a simple shower an the "partial ocean views" was not even partial. I would come back with pleasure in coupke or with a group of friends

Pleasantly surprised! Very good hotel.

We were in Buzios just for two nights but were pleasantly surprised by the hotel. Although the staff don't speak English, they were always very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean but the wifi is a bit spotty due to the stepped construction of the hotel building. Speaking of which, Aquabarra sits on a hill and has a very homely decor which I quite liked, complete with lounge chairs and open-air couches. The only catch is that it's a 5-7 minute walk from the beach.

Great Place, now everybody pls relax a little

This place tries to be posh, and you might feel a little uneasy when you arrive as a backpacker. Otherwise it is a brilliant stay! + Superb design of the entire place + Best breakfast in 3 weeks + Nice, clean and spacious room + Nice music playing in the background + Cat :) - if you have no car it is a little distance to the beach and to the town (including steep roads) - people working there do not need to be supper happy for me all the time. that does not feel very natural.

Ótima hospedagem e instalações, mas com ressalvas.

o Hotel é incrivel, tinhas ótimas instalações o clima era super agradavel. Porém ao chegar no local fomos informados que nossa categoria não estava disponivel, então fomos alocados para outro quarto, e informados que no outro dia teria que ser feito a troca de quarto, ao realizaer a troca de quarto o hotel deixou esperando na área externa cerca de duas horas para finalização da limpeza.

Lugar ótimo para relaxar e curtir as ferias

A pousada é muito bonita com ambiente ideal para férias deliciosas. O ambiente geral é muito gostoso e o cafe da manhã é bom. O que deixa a desejar é o atendimento da recepção - tínhamos que pedir algumas coisas, (troca de toalhas, fronha, cobertor), foi resolvido, sim, mas o retorno não foi eficiente. Mas - nada que atrapalha uma ótima estadia !

Boa relação custo benefício

O hotel é bom, café da manhã bom, o atendimento dos funcionários e a limpeza dos quartos também, mas acho que podem melhorar nas roupas de cama e toalhas cansadas e manchadas. O quarto é espaçoso mas poderia ter apoio para as malas e penduradores para bolsa de praia e roupas. O ponto negativo pra mim foi a musiquinha ambiente que toca sem parar numa altura que pra quem não gosta incomoda muito.

O lugar é um pouco diferente da foto quando chegamos! As cosias pareciam ser mais novas, o hotel tem muita informação visual. Como ele é um hotel butique esperava mais! O café da manhã também não é dos melhores, pouca opção de cosias, esperava mais principalmente pela nota que eles tem. Mas no geral o atendimento é excelente, foi bom! Tem estacionamento grátis mas a entrada é bem apertada para entrar e sair. Se você não gosta de incenso ele tem um cheiro forte até você acostumar! O quarto que pegamos é espaçoso, porem o chuveiro é péssimo. Acho que fui com muitas expectativas por ser hotel boutique!
