10/10 Excellent

"Divino"

Grand Hyatt Rio De Janeiro

10/10 Excellent

"We had an absolutely wonderful experience at the Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The hotel is beautiful, elegant, and extremely well maintained. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and spotless, with a relaxing atmosphere and beautiful views. The pool and common areas are fantastic, and the entire property feels like a true luxury resort. What really made our stay special was the staff. Everyone we encountered was professional, attentive, friendly, and genuinely committed to making our experience memorable. The service was consistently excellent throughout our stay. The breakfast was also outstanding, with a great variety of fresh and high-quality options. The location in Barra da Tijuca is beautiful and peaceful, making it perfect for relaxing while still enjoying everything Rio has to offer. Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro truly delivers a five-star experience. We left extremely satisfied and would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, excellent service, and a luxurious stay in Rio de Janeiro. Thank you to the entire Grand Hyatt Rio de Janeiro team for making our stay so special. We look forward to coming back!"

Othon Palace Copacabana Rio

8/10 Good

"Housekeeping was almost nonexistent. Had to call them at check-in because room was filthy and daily’s they would need to be called for towels. Breakfast and concierge service was awesome and pool area was also great. No amenities and no upgrade offered and 2 free drinks during stay omitted."
