Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro State hotel rooms at the Independent

"A bit old property, tired towels… Otherwise wonderful staff, good food, quiet !"

"Great location, good clean room, breakfast good choice "

"Our spacious room was located on the third floor overlooking the pool and the bay. Unlike many resorts, the room had generous closet space for both of us. We were greeted by name upon arrival, and I appreciated the upgrade. We dined at both resort restaurants and sampled the sushi at another. We enjoyed the fresh desserts and pastries at the bakery and coffee shop. We used the gym everyday and had a blast on the beach. The concierge arranged a driver and guide for a day trip to Paraty. I highly recommend it. In addition, I was able to hike along a trail in the resort that led to a waterfall. The grounds throughout are immaculately maintained. I appreciated the staff bridging my sparse Portuguese and for allowing me to practice improving my language skills. I thank the housekeepers who ensured our space was always organized and well maintained. There is a great selection of breakfast choices either in the buffet or available on the menu. The maitre d’ was welcoming and always accommodating. Barthelemy’s is a wonderful men’s apparel shop. Be sure to check it out in the resort shopping section. After three nights, I felt completely rejuvenated and ready for the next leg of our journey through Brazil."

"Great experience, staff is amazingly friendly, Helen is a great host. Breakfast is home made, fresh and generous, very flavourful. Our room was a bit small, it needed more closet space (it didn’t have any!), fridge could use some maintenance. Location is great for beach access, although very steep in the last segment, you absolutely need a bellboy for large pieces of luggage. Great overall value!"

"The restaurant was awful. They had no idea what to do. I ordered room service and it took a long time. On the top of it the steak was burnt. Not just overcooked but burnt. The worst experience I've had with room service by far."

"Limpio, cama cómoda con aire acondicionado, buena regadera, servicio impecable, desayuno bueno, ubicación céntrica y vista al mar desde el restaurante. La piscina no usamos."

"La habitación no la limpiaban. Hubo alerta de derrumbe y me fui 3 días antes. Jamás me reembolsaron nada, ni siquiera lo preguntaron. "

"Comida de pessima qualidade, atendimento e limpeza deixaram a desejar "
