Very nice hotel. The staff was super friendly, specially the Concierge, who helped us to book a table in a nearby restoran. The pool is stunning.
The beach in front of the hotel is very small. You have to walk 10 - 15 minutes to get to Leblon.

- The children enjoyed the kid's club - Staff at lounge restaurant was very nice - Beautiful view of the ocean - Heated outside swimming pools
- Late check-out was not possible, and we received a different explanation from the reception staff each day. The staff at the reception were generally unhelpful, blaming each other and didn’t seem interested in resolving the issue. We eventually gave up and booked access to the airport lounge instead, which proved to be an excellent choice. If you need a late check-out, I recommend confirming it in advance or considering another hotel. - Staff at swimming pool restaurant speaks almost no English. The communication was challenging - The hotel feels outdated, the facilities look old and not very well maintained. - There is a favela located just behind the hotel, which might be important for some guests to know. The hotel felt, though, overall safe.

I received an upgrade to the 18th floor, which I appreciate it very much.
Bene Restaurante was a a disaster, twice. I ordered the COD, it arrived well done instead of moist. COD takes only maximum 3-4 mins to cook, anything longer ruins the fish. I’m cooking too. This happened last year too. I asked the Host, to remove the charge, this did not happen. Casa Da Cachaca’s menu should be revived. Too many Pomme Frites. Offer a nice Quiche Loraine, or a nice fruffly omelette, there are so many options. Please.

I stayed in this hotel twice already: its location and facilities are unbeatable. Also, the staff are really very helpful and make your stay even better.
The breakfast: food was OK but the area is small, you have to queue and, unfortunately, there was no air conditioner so it was really hot and crowded there.

The ocean view room was really nice, the hotel overall was clean and aesthetically appealing. Comfort beds, great service from staff.
The hotel area was updated but the rooms/bathrooms are a bit dated. The hotel smells like a dream. My friends and I smelled a stinch, like a mildew smell as you enter the rooms. Since we all had the smell (different floor level rooms) we concluded that all the rooms smelled like that upon entering. Over by the balcony, there wasn’t a smell but we also kept the balcony open for the fresh air.

Lots to do, and a small beautiful beach at the hotel’s feet.
The pressure in the shower.

Sheraton is keeping the level high, with very nice and helpful staff, private territory where you feel yourself completely safe, private beach and pool area and probably the most beautiful tennis courts I’ve played on. Rooms are wonderful with just a marvellous view. And it’s a perfect choice for those with babies - they have a baby room, cribs, all necessary facilities everywhere and comfortable big elevators. So it’s a classic five.
The hotel is located 30 min by taxi from most sights, which can get longer with the traffic. The food is not always the best - we’ve had very dry meat in the restaurant which is not recommended.

Everything smelled in the room, the carpets were dirty and the shower didn’t work properly! I couldn’t sleep well due to the smell of the room( sewage smell) I asked to change the room! I definitely won’t come back!

Pleasant
Beautiful location and lots of great things about the hotel, pool, beach, gym, meals and staff were great. Let down by the sewage system from the Victorian age, and general age of the decor. Seriously needs updating with new carpets and furniture on the rooms, cleanliness is great in the restaurants but the age of the rooms means it is difficult for them to make a huge impact.

Location is isolated and slightly out of town. Traffic getting to the hotel can be very bad.
