When is the best time to go to Benfica?

The best time to visit Benfica is during the dry season, which runs from May to September, offering pleasant weather for exploring. During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and comfortably warm temperatures, typically ranging from 20°C to 28°C. This makes it ideal for enjoying outdoor activities and sightseeing without the intense humidity or heavy downpours common in other parts of the year. For those planning to combine their visit with events in the wider Rio de Janeiro area, the shoulder months of April and October are also good options.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our ‘Fully refundable property’ filter during your search to find the right Benfica hotel for you.

"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."

Windsor Oceanico

10/10 Excellent

"Wow spectacular I really liked the hotel and my family also, the atmosphere really good, very quiet, the restaurant was perfect, the attention very kind all the staff, no problems in the hotel, I only have one suggestion for the hotel, coffee and tea should be free inside of the property, because when I finished to eat inside of the restaurant, my mom wanted a cup of tea, so they have the hot water, but the small bag of tea had a price, that was in the bar, after the dinner wow it was surprised for me, so at the end, it’s something that you should to improve, but In general, Everything was amazing, thanks…"
