Thank you for your attitude!

The location is great and the room was fine. The view is just breathtaking! But the main reason why I would gladly come back to this hotel is people! So genuine friendly attitude, they want to help you with every single detail and everything is done with a happy smile. We felt like the most precious guests there. Thank you very much for hospitality!

Fabulous

The location can't be bitten, almost next to the Copacabana Palace, literally across the street from the beach. The layout of the room was super and the hotel in overall looks quite fresh. The pool area is very neat and the view from the gym makes you wanna workout more.

The bathroom was somewhat clean but could be a bit cleaner, for example, there was a little bit of mold (not much) in between the tiles. An extra towel hanger in the bathroom would also be valuable. If I'm being picky, the elevator can take ages to come (but did not really impact my overall experience, which was great).

Great seafront location. We had a spacious room with balcony overlooking the bay. Staff very friendly and we uses the top floor pool area many times. Definitely worth it.

We had a bit of a hitch upon check on but was solved quit quickly.

Very good

I loved the location and the view from the rooftop. The staff, Carlinhos who was our server in the mornings at breakfast and Paulinho at the beach, especially were phenomenal people and made our stay so much better. They were both very kind and helpful and gave us tons of recommendations of what to do during our stay. The view from the room was also breathtaking, from one side, the ocean, from the other Christ the redeemer! Breakfast was well served, with many options for all tastes and the drinks at the rooftop bar were delicious and fairly priced.

The pool is tiny, and it is not very deep at all. That was unfortunate as the hotel pool quickly filled up during my stay - if you like chilling by the pool, and swimming during your vacation I wouldn’t recommend this hotel. The hotel rooms are also not very soundproof and I could hear my neighbors loud and clear. I could even hear them in the bathroom, that was not fun.

The location was perfect and the staff is amazing. Roof top bar and restaurant served good food.

The rooms could use some updating and there was a musty smell.

It has been my second time at Porto Bay and it keeps at the same good standard. Good atmosphere, food and reception.

The hospitality was great, from the check inn to out. I loved the breakfast! It smells good everywhere.

The gym requires better maintenance.

Best and the smartest choice to stay in Copa!

Great location, exceptional breakfast, and excellent view from our balcony. In my opinion, much better value for money compared to the two more expensive hotels on Copacabana beach (Fairmont and Copacabana Palace)

If I had to pick one, it’s the sofa in the room. It’s fabric and it’s showing its age

Perfect location and amazing staff!

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful! Thais was always going above and beyond to make my stay more pleasant! Isais who was in charge of the umbrellas and beach chairs was also great!

Not the biggest deal but there was maintenance and repairs ongoing on my floor and at certain times it did get a bit noisy.

Amazing hotel and staff, location and views from the balconies it’s like a dream!

Amazing location, clean,comfortable and the view from the balcony it’s breath taken! We loved it! Simply beautiful!!!! Big thanks to Tamires, Thiago and Thays… all of them very helpful and thoughtful towards the guests. Breakfast it’s also amazing, lots of options, fresh items and friendly employees. We loved it! It was our first time at Porto Bay Rio but definitely it won’t be the lest. Looking forward to visit again soon.

Nothing. We would like to stay longer.
