Like most others, we enjoyed our our week. Buzios is a great place, and like other such resorts, there is a wide range of accomodations from quite basic to uber luxe. This hotel is moderately priced for Buzios, you get a great view of the bay from atop a hill, a nice sized pool, a very warm, personable staff, especially... More

We found this place ourselves and went personally to book as we were loving Buzios so much that we changed our plans and needed two extra nights! As we were travelling with a teenager we needed a bit of space for us all. In the previous hotel we were cramped but here we had basically joining rooms and were much... More

We stayed 10 nights at the hotel in April 2012 in one of the Seaview rooms were more than happy with the overall experience. Like every hotel there are positives and negatives but we felt the good things greatly outweighed any of the bad. In terms of the good things the views from the seaview room are amazing! You have...

Baia do Joao is not the worst hotel we have stayed at but to be fair to all the other hotels around the world we have reviewed on Tripadvsior it can only get 1 star as the quality is so far out of proportion with the price. It is basically a B&B charging 5 star prices. Even if they reduced... More

Nice friendly place, very helpful staff eager to assist with restaurant bookings etc Hotel is secure and seems to have staff available at all times. I would definitely stay here again. Recommend to get a seaview room, I had no. 2 and it was great, I think any on the same floor would be equally good. The views across the... More

I stayed here in September 2008 and had a wonderful experience. Years later and its still one of my fondest travel memories. The rooms were clean, spacious, airy, and overlooked the sea below. Hammocks on the balcony added an extra element of tranquility. The owner was a sweatheart and the staff was very attentive. If I come back to Buzios,... More

My husband and I were visiting our friends in Rio for about 9 days, and the 4 of us took a short trip to Buzios for 2 days while we were there. It's not a bad trip, about 2 hours from Rio, and pretty easy on the highway. Each couple stayed in a Superior, Sea-View room on the 2nd floor,... More

We did a lot of homework and shopping around before our two week stay in Buzios, including the most highly rated of the Trip Advisor pousadas. We found this one on Buzios online under "moderate" pousadas, were taken by the stunning pictures, and found it priced at levels of pousadas without anything special to recommend them. To say we were... More

Baia do Joao is a great place to stay. When we got there we were overwhelmed by the enthusiasm, hospitality and great seaview of this “little paradise”in Busios. After a short chat, we directly got a refreshing drink, because we travelled for a while and the hill where Baia do Jaoa is situated on is quite uphill. After that we... More
