PortoBay Búzios

My stay at PortoBay was really good. The hotel met my expectations and I had no major issues. The reception is quite beautiful, check in process was super fast and we were given a welcome drink. Room was spacious and the bathroom was also large. There's a balcony with a hammock to relax outside. Bed was comfortable, shower was good, a/c worked well (which is essential during summer in Buzios) and there was good space for our suitcases and also hanging clothes. Breakfast by the pool was amazing. The spread is nice with fresh fruits everyday, breads, cakes, cheese, ham, pao de queijo, yoghurts and they prepare amazing waffles, omelets, tapioca, avocado toast and much more. Wifi was strong and worked well throughout the entire property. They also provide towels to take out to the beach for free. Staff was always friendly and helpful. Location is good, within 5-10min drive to various beaches and just a 10min walk to Rua das Pedras/Orla Bardot, where you can find countless restaurants/bars and shops. The propety itself is in a very quiet area, so it's good to relax and sleep at night.

The staff are excellent at this hotel and really made our stay special. All of them deserve credit but we had specific great interactions and service from Priscilla and the young lady that works in the bar at the reception. They were always super friendly with their interactions, and really went the extra mile when it came to special requests and personalised services. The breakfast was great, varied and designed to mimic home cooked grandma style breakfast which made every day start that bit better. We can’t recommend the hotel enough, we even visited during the busiest week of the year and the hotel still managed to be a tranquil setting to relax against the super busy buzios during the new year break.

This is a dream hotel in all aspects. We stayed in the royal suite which was amazing with a beautiful balcony and great views. The hotel staff are exceptional, especially the breakfast ladies who will go out of their way to get you what you want. The pool area is lush with plenty of sun loungers. Walking distance to town and close to most beaches. Great value for money.

The location was great. Walking distance from the centre, but away from all the noise so very peaceful. The staff were exceptionally friendly - from the receptionists to the bar staff. They helped us book trips for Buzios and Arraial do Cabo. The rooms were immaculate and spacious. Very comfortable beds. The air conditioner was on for our arrival meaning the room was cool when we entered (this has been the only hotel I've been to in Brazil to do this). The pool area is also stunning! And all this for an brilliant price! I would definitely recommend people to stay here if they are visiting Buzios

Kindest of the personnel from very beginning, view from the lobby terrace, rooms with verandas, swimming pool (open 24h), food…Hotel is located in very quiet area but still walking distance to main boulevard of Búzios, really recommend this hotel:)
