We traveled to Rio for Carnival and wanted somewhere to relax for a week afterwards. After picking the small beach town of Buzios, we decided on Hibiscus for a few reasons: decent price; private, individual bungalows; and good reviews. We stayed for 5 nights in March 2012 in bungalow 11 (pretty high on the hill with great views) for $R1,850... More

I had high hopes for this place, but I must say I was more underwhelmed than overwhelmed with our stay. This may be partially due to the fact that we did not go during high season, but I am not sure. Per TA reviews, we emailed ahead and requested a high bungalow for the group. The owner was very nice... More

My wife and I had a very pleasant stay here over Christmas 2011. The location is good for beaches and the walk into the town a pleasant 15-20 minutes stroll. We never felt the need to use a taxi. The beach closest to the pousada (Joao Fernades) is good but was very busy over the holiday, although curiously tended to... More

My wife and I stayed four nights here and enjoyed Pousada Hibiscus Beach very much. The rooms are spacious and clean and the location excellent for beaches, the centro district, and transport to the rest of Buzios. The morning breakfast buffet is generous with lots of fresh fruit, breads, eggs/sausage, and cereal, and coffee is available throughout the day and... More

The Hibiscus Beach Pousada is one of the nicest places I've stayed in in Brazil. The private bungalow was lovely. Each has a deck overlooking the sea. the WiFi service is fine on the deck, so it's a great place to sit & catch up on your e-mail. The staff is friendly & helpful. They serve an excellent breakfast. They... More

We live in the Virgin Islands and really appreciated the... More

This was either my seventh or eighth to Buzios, and, of course, staying at Pousada Hibiscus Beach. As usual, I received a warm welcome from proprietors Kevan and Alicia Prior, now old and true friends for the past six years, plus the pousada's manager, Celia. It would be true to say that the pousada has become my "second home", and... More

Following the advise of friends who stayed at Hibiscus last month, we asked for a high bungalow at check in. They gave us Number 8, and after climbing lots of steps, we opened the doors to the balcony of our room, and it was just amazing. Little fishing boats were bobbing in the blue water beyond the palm trees on... More

Excellent bungalows; very clean and comfortable. 15 minute walk to the centre of Buzios, and plenty of steps at the hotel but very close to an excellent beach. Breakfast good and staff very helpful. More
