Guaiba Island, Rio de Janeiro State hotel rooms at the Independent

"We liked this property, however, we did not like the restaurant food offered."

"A family oriented resort, ideal if you are travelling with kids. Quality was excellent and the staff helpful with everything. The suites were very spacious and details like the safari and safari-like decoration all over the resort made the stay a beautiful adventure. "

"Good location five minutes walk from the beach and dock. Check in was easy and the guy on reception very friendly. Room was a good size and clean with air conditioning. Bed was comfortable and the shower was good. Nice breakfast area and plenty of food to choose from. "

"Very convoluted check in process. Not well maintained. Hard to enter the area before elevator, they have a weird facial recognition gate next to elevator with very little space. Pillow cases and sheets may be clean but were all stained and give impression of dirt. Strange to have hallway lights off on motion sensor lights (spooky feel) instead of a constant low energy light. Would not stay again unless very cheap, which it was. Did not use pool, so maybe that’s a good reason for the place. "

"Perfect stay with beautiful surroundings and genuinely nice staff. Food was amazing (lasagne is a must) and the room was perfect! "

"Great location. Easy to find hotel. Breafast is good. The room is nice."

"Excellent! "
