I'll take place like this over heaven even in my dreams. La Suites made our already excellent Rio trip an unforgettable trip. We just didn't want to leave the hotel as the views from anywhere in the hotel are beyond outstanding and then the style of the place, grounds, pools, top friendly service, just about everything is beyond high expectations. Then, that breakfast you are served with totally personal touch, and the one dinner we had there on wall less rooftop under the stars makes we want to go back to Rio many more times.
The serve the breakfast wherever you want on the property. In your room, balcony, pool, terrace, etc. I forget the names of both the guys who took care of us. I think Daniel is one. They are just outstanding. One day we asked him if we can get Sweet Apple (custard apple) fruits and next morning he served us in breakfast. Same with another fruit my friends asked about. The dinner we had here beats the one's we had at some top rated placed here on TA. The owner met us one day and checked how we are doing and you can tell from conversation with him that he has a passion for his place and it shows in every piece of decor in the property. They can arrange for a spa if you request. They have a special place for it.
Now, coming to the location. It was easy to go to any attraction in the city and we used Uber for everything. The neighborhood it's located is a gated community and is very safe with lots of beautiful homes. We walked one day to the near by Joatinga beach which took about 20 minutes. That beach beats some of the best beaches we've seen in St Johns Island, and Bermuda as it has a great tropical feel and has no crowds. It's more for surfers but we enjoyed just sitting there one morning.
If you stay in this place, this will be your highlight of Rio trip and don't forget to enjoy the Sunrise. It's probably the best spot in Rio to view Sunrise.
