Wyndham Rio de Janeiro Barra

The listed amenities and the location across the street from the beach was great. Unfortunately the condition of the property, housekeeping, overall poor maintenance caused us to switch hotels during the middle of our stay. One person in our party got sick (exacerbation of asthma) from the mold she experienced over the 4 day stay as we waited for AARP to transfer our accommodations. This star level of this property should definitely be reclassified and we all strongly recommend that AARP remove this property from the listing.

I’ve stayed at this property when it was Sheraton and Radisson. I’m so sad to say, my favourite hotel in Rio has declined greatly in standards, service and comfort. The property needs a massive overhaul and refurbishment to maintain value at their current price point or reduce the nightly rate to reflect the substantial decline in standards and service. At current standards, I would be prepared to pay £30 a night for a room, including if resort fees.

I was refused a drink at the pool bar until I spoke to a manager- never did figure out why

Great location, very close to beach. We had a car and it was sooo convenient to park. They charged 25R a day to park ($6 American), which was SOOO worth every penny. Parking in and near the area is next to impossible, so this was invaluable. you can come and go with the car as you please.

Run down hotel, that used to be a Sheraton. Don’t be swayed by the pictures! Found a cockroach in my room and management never responded to my claim. Very old bed sheets so worn down that they had holes. The worst part was poor decision making by hotel staff to allow a group of guests party and drink right along side the kids pool. There goes the family atmosphere that my wife and kids were looking for... Breakfast was poor, similar to a 2-3 star hotel. Luckily the privately owned cafeteria, La Frutería, within the hotel premises, was very good despite having to pay additional to the hotel rate that should’ve included a good enough breakfast. Hotel fireworks on New Year’s was the only highlight of the stay.

Horrible hotel! Dated, noisy and in need of complete updating.

Convenient to the beach & restaurants in the area! Great views of the beach & ocean! Property seemed slightly rundown with functioning ice machines available on 2 of the 15 floors of hotel! The hot tubs at the pool were only lukewarm with no functioning aerators!! The pool bar charges were not chargeable back to your room necessitating taking cash or a credit card down to the pool with you! No coffee maker or small utensilsor tableware provided for the room!!

Clean, great view and spacious, polite staff, good price.

This property does not live up to the Wyndham brand name. It is directly across from the beach which is a plus for those interested in visiting the beach. The room smelt musty, the furniture was old, there was mold in the shower and to make it worse there was a bug in my bed one night. Will not recommend staying here. The photos are quite deceiving.

It was a lovely stay, the staff was very nice, the location was great, close to the convention center. I really recommend this hotel !
