Sheraton Grand Rio Hotel & Resort
The resort lounge, pool, and restaurant areas were fantastic. The sound of waves crashing at night were amazing and I slept great every night. A very relaxing hotel and walking distance to Leblon.

The pool is very small which results in it becoming dirty very quickly however staff are quick to clean it if you ask them. The location was 10/10 if you don't want to be in a busy area but still have a great beach and good restaurants near by, I felt very safe here and the staff were extremely friendly. ...

I love everything about this hotel -- from the courteous, knowledgeable, friendly staff, to the rooftop bar and their restaurants! I didn't have an ocean view but it didn't matter. I just went to the top swimming pool, and/or walked out the front door. I will stay here always!
