Frommer's "The only budget-priced oceanfront hotel in Ipanema, the Arpoador Inn enjoys a privileged location on a quiet stretch of beach popular with the surf crowd." Full review
Travel + Leisure "With six floors, this 1970s-era budget hotel has just palm trees and a cobbled, local-traffic road between it and Arpoador Beach." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Charmingly located right on the sand, this little tower block offers functional and basic rooms and facilities."
Time Out "Billing itself as the only hotel from Leme to Leblon located right on the beach... here you step more or less right out of the lobby onto the golden sands of Arpoador." Full review
Fodor's "At sunset the view from the landmark rock that juts out into the ocean at the end of the beach is one of Rio's most beautiful." Full review

Frommer's "For a very different hotel experience, consider spending a few nights in the quaint hilltop neighborhood of Santa Teresa." Full review
Concierge "A colonial-style house in the leafy hillside district of Santa Teresa provides the backdrop for Mama Ruisa, a design-minded B&B that offers personalized service."
DK Eyewitness "A charming, understated boutique hotel in a converted 18th-century mansion house in Santa Teresa. Each room is named after a different French cultural icon."
Time Out "Another beautifully-restored Santa Teresa mansion, this time courtesy of Frenchman Jean-Michel Ruis who keeps a hands-on approach to the running of the hotel and the comfort of his guests." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Far away from the crowds on Copacabana, Mama Ruisa is a small yet sophisticated boutique hotel tucked into the hills of Santa Teresa, Rio's burgeoning artists' district." Full review
The Telegraph8.0
"This tropical boutique hotel has a palm-lined pool and impressive views, but the colonial splendour of the huge rooms is the real draw." Full review
