The hotel is right on the beach of Leblon. We had the suite with the windows to the front so we could see the whole beach and far into the sea. The location is great and within walking distance of the heart of Leblon with all its shops, cafes, and restaurants.
The hotel offers a "beach" service and provides towels, chairs, and beach umbrellas right in front of the hotel at no additional costs. The suite was large and very nice, clean, and quiet (with windows closed).
The only negative point was the breakfast. The hotel includes many things on the menu but many things weren't available. For example, the salmon was probably out and on the first day we were told it's just out of the freezer and could not be served yet, but there was no salmon during the whole time of our stay. The food they actually served was very nice, though.
We would go there again!
