MUSIC Electronic and monotonous.

Very few foreigners. Pretty even guys/girls ratio. 4/5 DANCING Dancefloor was always full, but dancing amounted to little more than head-bopping. Little enthuthiasm. 2/5 PRICE Expensive. At least R$100 for guys to get in. On December 28, guy ticket prices were R$200. Each beer inside was R$13.90. 2/5 CUSTOMER SERVICE Long line to get in (~30 - 45mins around 12.30am). The entrance looks like a border patrol or passport control office, checking entrance tickets and ID is strict. On our night, we had a 30mins line to get OUT of the club (people had to individually close out their tab at the exit). Never heard of waiting to get OUT of a club. 2/5

Absolutely outstanding! We were staying in Rio and wanted to separate the trip and we found out…read moreabout Buzios and Casas Brancas was AMAZING! Gabriel and Jimena gave us excellent recommendations and the deck is to die for! I really felt like I was in the Greek islands. The room is luxurious but cozy at the same time, and the hotel makes a real effort to make you feel like you're at home. When our driver from Rio canceled on us prior to our Buzios departure, Jimena went above and beyond to secure a new driver for us. Thank you for an amazing stay- and if you are staying in Buzios, don't look further than this hotel!

As an American traveling in Brazil, I was curious to see what is really going on (as opposed to…read morewhat the media portrays.) I felt care from the staff at the gorgeous Perola Hotel from my very first step inside! The lobby was beautifully done & the staff was professional and helpful, above and beyond expectations! The facility had everything I needed to fully enjoy Buzios. The pool had lovely lounge with service that was approachable--Even an area for kids to play. Guests were sociable yet, not invasive. The relaxed atmosphere lent to spending the hottest part of the day under the tiki-covered beds and taking in the gorgeous view while being protected from the sun. Complimentary afternoon coffee & tea was a sweet touch too! The restaurant served some of the the best meals I had in Brazil! A proper breakfast started my day via BRUNCH BUFFET!!! This is a commodity in Buzios!!! I felt welcomed and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and dietary needs. There was a separate club for poker players which was modern gaming and a second bar. Great for those wanting to try there luck-- Yet discrete, not interfering with the families who may stay at the hotel. Truly, this is a great place to enjoy Buzios and it was not crowded! A gem of a find! The beaches and town are easily accessible. Feel the warmth of the people of Brazil today!!!
