All the rooms have a nice view to the Barra beach. The swimming pool was nice but crowdy and the music was not that loud ( i read a notice who said that the music was loud). Check-in was ok even if we had to wait until 3 pm. But the receptionnist gave us tickets to wait to the pool... More

Surely not a top facility but better than average. Very good breakfast and dinner buffet. Pool and fitness area are OK but very busy. Difficult to work beside the pool because of the noise and too many people and children. Food and service at pool bar are OK. Register yourself as Starwood Preferred Guest upfront as it makes check in... More

One of the worst facilities I have ever stayed at that claimed to be a hotel. I tried three rooms...all had trash under the furniture and smelled like mildew. The manager admitted that all the rooms smell like mildew presently due to an AC problem the staff is well aware of. No room service of any significance after midnight. Lobby... More

Stayed at the Sheraton Barra from 12/26 to 1/1/2012. It is in Barra, the new part of Rio. Room size is above average and the property is very nice. Service, however, is far from that.

I hadn't appreciated how far away from downtown Barra is, nonetheless the beach there is fantastic and much less crowded than Copacabana and Ipanema. The hotel is directly across the road from the hotel, and most rooms have side sea views. The rooms themselves are spacious, like studio apartments with a kitchen area and sofa/ sitting area plus large furnished... More

If you go to Barra de Tijuca you have to know that you are far from all the main classic attractions in Rio. Therefore, enjoy the beach, the lively bars at Rua Olegario and some ($$$) shopping . Sheraton Barra is just in front of a nice beach that you can enjoy safely with hotel beach services, this is the... More

The area is nice but very little food options if you are not travelling on business i would recommend you to stay on... More
