"Bucaneiro is centrally located so you can easily walk to downtown to the east and also to Praia do Forno, Praia Brava, and Rocka restaurant. The bathroom is quite small but there was enough space in the room for our luggage. Only 1 person on staff really understood English but he helped us with our bags up to the room and showed us around the property. The pools are amazing and it's nice having the chairs and cabanas to lounge around. The food from the bar was good for a quick snack during the...

" Roupas de cama sujas, chuveiro ruim (o misturador não funcionava), limpeza do quarto deixou a desejar, atendentes nada simpáticos ... Fora isso, equipamento de limpeza e chuveiro da piscina estavam quebrados. Para finalizar, meu filho queimou a mão em uma torneira de água que fica na piscina - era água quente sem nenhuma sinalização. Péssimo"

"Ficamos hospedados no quarto 11 que na verdade era um buraco debaixo do restaurante que foi improvisado como acomodação. Apesar de espaçoso o quarto não era uma acomodação padrão. Tínhamos que descer três degraus para entrar no quarto. O quarto somente tinha camas e um cabideiro. Não tinha janela e nenhuma mobília, nem decoração. Literalmente um porão. Sem contar que ficava literalmente na borda da piscina. Bem desagradável. "

Top Brava Hotel Reviews

Vila d'este Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous from start to finish. Views are amazing and everything is within walking distance. The steps to access the hotel from the beach are daunting but you get used to it and plan accordingly. Tip: if you are heading towards nearby Ossos Beach for a meal or sunbathing, then just walk on the street from the front of the hotel it’s quick, easy and avoids the steps. Rooms were lovely and individual. Staff were great and our entire stay felt safe and luxurious. "

Pousada Peninsula de Buzios

10/10 Excellent

"Our experience at Pousada Peninsula de Buzios was outstanding. They helped us with a late check-in and made us feel welcome from the very beginning. The room was spacious, fully renovated, with strong Wi-Fi and a very handy mini fridge. Breakfast was plentiful and well-balanced, the pão de queijo was absolutely amazing. But the best part was the staff: Leo, Denis, and Sabrina were always kind, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay perfect. It was an unforgettable experience, and we truly hope to come back soon."

Paradiso Pero Praia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in front of Praia do Peró, next to Praia do Conchas. Words fall short to say that they are beautiful and incredible. In the mornings you can go for a walk or run on the beach. The hotel is beautiful, the food is exquisite. We went to celebrate our birthday, and we were surprised that they noted the date of birth in our passports, because at breakfast they sang Happy Birthday to us and made all the Brazilians who were staying sing and they did it with great pleasure. And they gave us a cake that we loved. There are also gluten-free options. What a beautiful hotel... the room was very comfortable. I'm going back to Cabo Frio... and this hotel made us feel at home."
