Paqueta Island, Rio de Janeiro hotel rooms at the Independent

"We loved our stay here! The hotel itself could use a few aesthetic updates, but the service truly made it special. Marcos and Rafael went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. The location was perfect—close to everything (beach, Sugarloaf, RioSul, and more). The food was great, and the spa massages were amazing. We’ll definitely be back!"

"My stay was amazing, room was a great very of the beach. Amazing staff , very helpful and friendly "

"My stay at Miramar by Windsor Copacabana was outstanding. The staff was professional, friendly, and welcoming, which made the whole experience feel warm and personal. The restaurant was a highlight of my trip — breakfast was absolutely delicious and the perfect way to start the day, and dinner in the evening was just as memorable, both for the food and the atmosphere. Truly a beautiful hotel with excellent service. "

"its and old Hotel, but its very close to everything, great location."

"The spa was great and worth the visit for the services offered. I had an excellent view from my room of the beach and mounds. "

"I want to sincerely thank Copacabana for their understanding and support. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to board my flight because I didn’t have the required visa to enter Brazil — a last-minute issue that completely changed my plans. Despite this, they accepted my refund request without any hassle, and I truly appreciate the fairness and professionalism shown. It’s rare to find that kind of customer care these days. Although I couldn’t make it this time, I’m definitely looking forward to booking my stay with them on my next trip to Brazil. Kudos to the team for being so considerate — you’ve earned my loyalty!"

"Excellent "

"Clean, safe and excellent breakfast "

" My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 11 days, and we absolutely loved it! From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. Luis and Alex at the front desk were incredibly helpful and welcoming. I had a small issue with our original room, and Luis went above and beyond by moving us to a larger room with a better view—at no extra cost! Leo and Juan, our servers, were total sweethearts and made our mornings extra special. And the breakfast… OMG—so delicious, fresh, and beautifully served! Our room was always spotless, thanks to the amazing cleaning staff who came every day and made sure everything was clean and tidy. The location was perfect—close to everything we needed and with easy access to all the main tourist attractions. We’re so happy we chose this hotel and would definitely stay here again! "
