Hibiscus Beach Pousada

We were generally very satisfied with our short stay at the Hibiscus Beach. The staff were helpful and friendly, although the concierge was out when we arrived so we had to carry our bags up many steps to our bungalow. The hotel was clean, despite the construction work at the front (a deck area was being built.) Breakfast was fine. We'd definitely stay here again.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, literally a stones throw from a lovely beach and a few little shops and restaurants, (they close early beware)... The actual private bungalow we had was just lovely, the experience of having your very own place with your own veranda is enough to make you want to go back. Unfortunately upon arrival we were greeted by a crew of builders and were subjected to noise, dust and glaring eyes by the swimming pool from 8am - 7pm, not good at all. The service was literally the worst we have ever experienced, it took one and a half hours to bring two beers!! It was a real shame, this place could be sooo great with the right management and more staff - oh and no builders!!

Beautiful outlook and very handy to the beach without too much of a climb. Other pousadas in the area were a long way to go. The room was very nice, although the bed was a bit hard, and the pillow quite solid. Very friendly and helpful staff, informative about the area. Great breakfasts too. Cabo Frio well worth the visit. Major town of the area, and the beach was fantastic.

This was my first time to Buzios – a business trip in August, the southern hemisphere's winter. I stayed at the Hibiscus Beach Pousada for 9 nights and enjoyed every aspect. Each ‘room’ at this pousada is an individual bungalow that is built up a hill-side. One of the nicest beach is a 1 minute walk out the front door. Each bungalow has French doors that open to a small private patio overlooking the sea… Every room has a tremendous view, and as a previous review noted, the higher the room, the better the view (I too was at the top in room #9). The staff was great. English is my only language and I had no problems. They even arranged a car for the 2.5hr ride to the airport in Rio at a rate much cheaper than any other private transportation. The location of the pousada is towards the tip of the Buzios peninsula and is much quieter at night than ‘downtown’. For shopping and nightlife, the walk to down town is a beautiful 10 minute stroll along the waterfront (very safe, even late at night). The rooms were immaculate and comfortable. The free-breakfast was served promptly at 8:30am (and it is a good mix of fresh fruit, cereals, pastries and scrambled eggs). I could not get a strong WiFi signal in my room, but it was a pleasure to take my laptop down to the restaurant area to work online. Overall – I cannot imagine a nicer experience in Buzios than the Hibiscus Beach.

Quiet little spot a block from the beach with a great view from your own bungalow. Spacious rooms with a little porch to sit and watch the sun rise or set. The shower was a little tricky to figure out at first but that was the worst of it. Great complimentary breakfast as well. Would definitely recommend for friends looking for a place to stay, couples on a romantic get-a-way, or even for a short family stay!

We arrived ending last June. Rainy season. Welcomed by a warm and friendly staff. Were given Bungalow #5, with lovely sight to the sea. Room was comfortable, and the balcony invited to have drinks staring the wonderful view, or enjoying the warmness of the night. Room's fridge was replenished every day because the appropriate pricing. Adding up to this was the free WiFi internet service. We learn we could not sleep with open windows during damp weather due to mosquito's nuisance, so we closed every opening at night, having running the overhead fan and/or the A/C. Breakfast was the most!. Plenty of tropical fruits, as long as our usual ham and eggs, cereal, etc. Coffee was superb. Nearest beach, Joao Fernandes, was a couple of minutes walk-by, featuring waters crystal clear and colorful vendors. The place is constantly toured by vans that offer transportation. Rates are quite reasonable. Over all, it was a very good election for the price, we recommend this place, and surely next time we will come back to Hibiscus for another stay at Buzios.

Good location with nearby beach & very regular & cheap mini buses into Centro (or scenic 20 min stroll). Reception staff v. helpful & informative. As we had a later flight home, it was no problem to hold onto the room until a bit later as they had availability-really useful. Rooms serviced every day. Breakfast was adequate & if they are low on anything, just ask, the staff are more than happy to help.

The staff were friendly and helped out immediately once we found a very new hornet's nest on our balcony. Each room has a great view of the ocean, which is about a 3-minute walk away. The area itself is quite touristy, but then again, all of Buzios is. The breakfast was pretty good, but there mechanism for keeping the eggs warm was pretty lacking. My main qualm with this hotel was our sheets weren't elasticized - our bed had a large sheet draped over it which wouldn't stay on through the course of the night. The other problem was a guard dog in an adjacent property that barked very loudly non-stop throughout the night. Having said that, Brazil tends to be a pretty noisy place, be it music, ad trucks, etc.

My partner and I enjoyed a short stay at Hibiscus Beach earlier this month. They put us in bungalow 9 which has a fabulous sea view. The staff were very friendly and helpful and they speak good English. Our room was clean, cozy and comfortable, and breakfast was delicious, especially the fresh, tropical fruit. The free Wi-Fi service from our room and balcony was a great plus. The hotel is 100 yards from a lovely beach, and within walking distance of the main strip, Rua das Pedras. We hope to return to Buzios for a longer stay next year, and will definitely stay at Hibiscus Beach. Strongly recommended.

My husband and I have spent 03 days at Hibiscus and those days were fantastic!!The hotel staff was very kind and helpful.Our room was clean and clear, the breakfast was excellent and the hotel had a nice swimming pool.The hotel was located on the hill so we had a wonderful view of the ocean and Joao Fernandes Beach.Buzios has many restaurants, bars, and clubs so if you like the nightlife you have a lot to do!The best thing about our days in Buzios - everything. The worse, I cannot think of anything.I definitely reccomend Hibiscus hotel. Andrea & Eric Kissimmee-FL
