I stayed here in September 2008 and had a wonderful experience. Years later and its still one of my fondest travel memories. The rooms were clean, spacious, airy, and overlooked the sea below. Hammocks on the balcony added an extra element of tranquility. The owner was a sweatheart and the staff was very attentive. If I come back to Buzios,... More

My husband and I were visiting our friends in Rio for about 9 days, and the 4 of us took a short trip to Buzios for 2 days while we were there. It's not a bad trip, about 2 hours from Rio, and pretty easy on the highway. Each couple stayed in a Superior, Sea-View room on the 2nd floor,... More

We did a lot of homework and shopping around before our two week stay in Buzios, including the most highly rated of the Trip Advisor pousadas. We found this one on Buzios online under "moderate" pousadas, were taken by the stunning pictures, and found it priced at levels of pousadas without anything special to recommend them. To say we were... More

Baia do Joao is a great place to stay. When we got there we were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, hospitality and great seaview of this “little paradise”in Busios. After a short chat, we directly got a refreshing drink, because we travelled for a while and the hill where Baia do Jaoa is situated on is quite uphill. After that we... More

We picked this inn based on other good reviews and were not disappointed. It was perfect and better than the pictures! The room was simple but perfectly fine in every way, it lacked nothing. The lobby/bar and breakfast area was sunny & pleasant with spectacular views over the pool/patio area-- impossible to beat! This location is absolutely perfect! We read... More

This place is a gem! The view to the beach and to the ocean is so beautiful! The room was simple but clean, the patio with a nice hammock was really big. The location was perfect at least for us, it's on a peaceful spot on the hill but within easy walking distance to the town. The closest restaurants start... More

This is not a hotel-boutique, and not your place, if you are looking for sofistication. It is a simple, clean, confortable and familiar inn. Very well located, in a peaceful region, silent nights, but it´s not too far from the buzy Rua das Pedras, wich ones can reach into a 30 minute walk. And its worthy each cent I payed... More

Do not belive what you see on those pictures YOU will not get those. The logo in the reception says "If we dont have it you dont need this" and they mean it. First, it is not a hotel, it is a wrothen house with the mold all over the rooms and full of mascitos and insects. The word of... More

After several hectic days in Rio & BA, it was a welcome relief to arrive at Baia do Joao, and be welcomed with a warm handshake and smile from Ricardo. After an incredibly comfortable night's sleep, we stepped out onto the balcony to be greeted by beautifuyl sunshine and the most spectacular view of the Joao Fernades Beach. So taken... More
