Wyndham Rio Barra - Oficial

It needs a refurb, but still just avout passable. But the location, facilities excellent. Breakfast could be more interesting. Would be an amazing hotel with a small refurb

Only downside for us was that the pool was closed unexpectedly for half of our stay.

Excellent

I would give property amenities and location 4 stars, but our room itself between 2 or 3. The location is so quiet unlike Copacabana and Ipanema. The beach is quiet and the crew that rents chairs are wonderful. Our room was disappointing mostly because the potential was so large. First the good: breakfast had a decent selection, the heated pool was a nice touch, kids play area was wonderful when we needed a change of scenery. We ordered “room service” burgers and it turned out they were from the market inside, and were frozen (but not bad for price)! The staff was nice but didn’t want to lift a finger to help us book any day trips or give recommendations. The restaurants in and around the hotel were decent but not knock your socks off. Hotel provides towels for pool and for beach. Not good: we stayed first floor 101. As soon as you exit the elevator you can smell the musty smell of water damaged, then see it along base boards as you walk the hallway. Our room was BEAUTIFUL with so much potential but dated with a strong smell of urine and standing water we had to open our patio doors to let it air out. The master tub didn’t drain properly leaving water standing as you shower, the toilet seat had chipped paint, and we had to request a change in the master bedding because the sheets were so worn they weren’t soft anymore. I felt gross walking around without shoes, and wouldn’t have used dishes before washing. The amenities truly made the property worth recommending.
