Town Buzios itself is very impressive. It is a combination of rural environment, luxurious board and lodging (`pousada` in Portugese), a very lively center with shops and restaurants and numerous beaches along the whole peninsula. The hotel is actually a complex of apartments which are situated on a slope. At the bottom of the slope there is a swimming pool,... More

The hotel is very beautiful, very quiet and very comfortable. Ideal for our honeymoon! The room was big, comfortable and clean, but the hedges in front of the window impeded any view of the ocean, which can be seen from the lobby or the higher locations. The breakfast buffet was decent in choice, and good quality. But the lunch menu... More

So, very mixed feelings on leaving the little slice of heaven that is Buzios, mainly occasioned by our hotel choice, which should have been a hit but was something a little less.
