We thoroughly enjoyed our two-week stay at this impressive resort.  The staff consistently provided exceptional service, exceeding our expectations.  The pool area is truly amazing, offering a relaxing and enjoyable experience.  Having a lifeguard present on the beach provided added peace of mind.  Dining options were plentiful and diverse, catering to various tastes.  The entire property was impeccably maintained, reflecting a high standard of cleanliness.  The luxurious accommodations and amenities enhanced our overall experience.  We highly recommend this resort for a truly memorable vacation.

The staff here absolutely deserves a 5/5 for their outstanding service. It’s important to note that the issues we faced were due to the outdated and poorly maintained facilities, not the team.

We checked in on the 8th floor after arriving at 9 a.m. and ended up waiting until almost 3 p.m. for our room, despite having requested an earlier check-in a few months back. (International Flight) Taiana was a gem, allowing us to have breakfast downstairs, and I have to give an A+ to Patricia and the kitchen staff for offering great, fresh food.

When we finally got into our ocean view room, it was cool the shower water was scalding hot, and the bathroom definitely needs an update. The view was lovely, but by the time we could enjoy it, it was getting dark because we had to wait so long. We ended up being moved to the 19th floor the next day at around 7 p.m., which wasn’t ideal for our vacation. The online pictures matched but the bathrooms were terrible. Not what we experienced at all.

Also, a heads-up about safety: It's best to avoid walking to the city, as there’s a favela on the mountain, and our friends and hotel staff recommended against it. Taxis are available but more pricey, usually double that of an Uber, which we found to be safe and convenient. 20 to 40 R depending on the Uber.

The restaurant at night is open air and welcoming with regards to Lucia (A+)whom took the time to interact with us. Just a few mosquitos and other insects but the grounds were clean. Again, outdated and the lights need to be serviced.

On the brighter side, the beach is semi-private, you can use bikes on-site, and the bar has a fun, energetic vibe, perfect for families. Overall, there's definitely room for improvement for a global hotel such as the Sheraton to take care their buildings to meet the expectations set during booking, but the staff really does make a difference! Sheraton do an upgrade for this hotel and the beautiful staff that is employed here in Rio.

This is a beautiful resort all around. The restaurants are great. The prices aren't high. Waking up to hearing waves. Going to sleep to hearing the soft waves. It's just a different type of vibe. so relaxing. The workers are very helpful, especially when it came to deciding good food to get. They suggest a great options

We had an amazing experience here. The hotel is very beautiful, we loved the view from our room, the breakfast, the pool area.
Near is the beach Vidigal which is not crowded, is quietly and beautiful. You can relax and admire the view.

This Sheraton offered us the most stunning ocean view we’ve ever seen in Rio de Janeiro!

The room itself is fine, spacious with a balcony; checkin was easy, there’s a US$15 resort fee per night. The hotel also provides beach chairs and umbrellas for the guests on the beach which is a plus! We wish we could’ve spent more time in their pool and jacuzzi!

Downsides are: 1) it’s a little difficult to get around the hotel without a rental car; our dining options are either inside the hotel (which we tried the buffet and Italian), or getting an Uber to Ipanema beach. 2) Room service was a little slow which was understandable as we stayed during the carnival. We ordered chicken soup but it was lukewarm when delivered.
