5 Star Hotels in Barra da Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro

"Property was well maintained. Pool is nice"

"Room overlooking the beach was outstanding."

"Let me start by saying the hotel is beautiful, I booked a Junior suite & it was stunning. Unfortunately, our experience at Nacional was disappointing. We arrived for a 5 night stay on Easter Sunday Apr 5th & on arrival the front desk told us we didn't have a reservation even though we'd fully prepaid for our room through Expedia. I showed them copies of the confirmation on the app, the printed email showing it was paid & the message the hotel sent us through the Expedia app the day before providing us with check-in details. After about 30 minutes they found our reservation but in their system it was for the 6th not 5th & they told me to contact Expedia, because it was an Expedia problem, not theirs. I contacted Expedia who confirmed we clearly had a reservation from the 5th-10th, but since it was Easter Sunday the hotel said the only way they can let us check in was if we paid for the night of the 5th & they'd sort it out the next day. So we paid & it turned out the hotel charged it to us as a cash advance instead of a credit card charge, the next day they cancelled the charge, but due to how they processed it we lost out on the exchange & were charged a cash advance fee, When I asked them to fix it they told me to take my issue up with Expedia & my bank. Unfortunately, it didn't get better, they treated us like 2nd class guests during our stay. Housekeeping decided to skip our room on day 1 even though we reminded them twice & we had to ask for towels daily. SO DISAPPOINTING"

"The stay was nice. I will say The cleaners didn’t do very well with sweeping the floors. I went to the beach every day and the floors were still sandy after it was “cleaned”. The breakfast was a waste of money. Im still trying to get my money back for the breakfast. You are better off going to the restaurant across the street for breakfast it was better, more fresh, and cheaper. The juice at the hotel breakfast was good . That was the only thing. The fruit wasn’t fresh, i don’t eat meat so i cant tell you how that was. Over all the stay was good , i just want my money back for the breakfast. I only ate there once and i paid for a week. "
