Worst risotto of my life. Ordered vegetarian risotto directly with restaurant - tasted horrible…read more Plain, no flavor - and very slow take out service. (Was staying in hotel). Stay AWAY from this restaurant. Terrible. Poor service. Horrible food.

I came here for their Easter brunch with my mother-in-law and my fiancé and we had a great…read moreexperience. The service was amazing. Our champagne glasses were never empty. The view is spectacular! You get a 360 of Rio at it's finest. You can see Ipanema, the dois irmaos, the lagoon and even the sugar loaf! When we were finally done eating, we enjoyed the pool deck for the sunset. We were not allowed to take our glass champagne glasses out with us so they happily transferred them into plastic champagne glasses so we could enjoy our saideira by the pool. I am not sure what their regular menu is like, but all the dishes that were out for the Easter brunch were great. There was a yummy bacalhau and a risotto. And let's not forget the dark chocolate fondue with fruit kebob sticks to dip into the chocolate! A+

Great hotel with friendly staff and good facilities!…read more The location is great - right across from a gorgeous beach. They have dedicated chairs and staff to assist on the beach. Two restaurants - Canto and Shiso. Both were very good. We ate at the hotel several times for the convenience. The Grand Lounge is well appointed with evening cocktails / snacks and a good breakfast spread. Front desk staff was very friendly and accommodating - especially Maria Alicia who helped me several times during my stay Highly recommended!!.

We had a wonderful time at the Hyatt. The resort was very nice, but the staff was exceptional…read more Everyone from the front desk to the lounge were very warm and friendly. We also enjoyed the hotel activities such as the cocktail class as well as the sushi making class. The resort is 45 minutes away from the main attractions of Rio, but well worth it. We will definitely come back the next time we visit Brazil.
