We had a wonderful stay at the Novotel RJ Santos hotel. Without exception all of the staff made us feel very welcome. We don’t speak Portuguese but everyone made a great effort to either speak English to us or to understand what we wanted. We had breakfast and our evening meals at the hotel every day and both were exceptional. The food was delicious and great value for money. Our room was spotlessly clean. If we go to Rio de Janeiro again we will definitely choose to stay at this hotel.

I loved the location and the staff! Right next to the beach. Wonderful restaurants near by. Helped me get a Taxi to Airport and book longer checkout. 20th floor view is superb! Good drink and food options at bar. Beach chairs were great and the staff will watch your wallet and phone for you. Would stay again.
