"I was quite disappointed with this hotel. Sure, the view is stunning, and the staff is kind (as you would expect in Brazil). But the hotel is in need of an update, the walls, bathtub, chairs and bed have seen better days. The rooms are quite run down, to the point that we did not even feel like using the jacuzzi in our suite. The window was broken, and there was plenty of bugs in our room as well as shedded scorpion exosceleton. And, perhaps worst of all, the toilet was not flushed when we...

"Overall a good experience. Breakfast was just above average as was the room. Hot water was lacking, but the view made up for many of the deficiencies. Spectacular. Pedro was a great host, but some other staff were less than friendly. Parking very convenient and walkability to Buzios centro and Joao Fernandes beach was good. Pool was very pleasant."

Top Prainha Hotel Reviews

Búzios Beach Resort by WAM Experience

10/10 Excellent

"Estuvimos tres días en julio. Todo estuvo perfecto, el servicio, la habitación bien amplia, la piscina, el desayuno. Nada que corregir."

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."

Pousada Caminho do Sol

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at this hotel. It’s located in a small beach town, which made the experience incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The staff was warm, friendly, and welcoming throughout our stay. I also highly recommend trying the on-site restaurant the food was absolutely delicious! If we ever return to the area, we’ll definitely stay here again."

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."
