I wanted to stay south of Rio for some business and this hotel was great. Its located about 30 minutes south of Rio and is located right on Barra beach. Hotel staff were always kind and many speak english. Each room has a balcony view of the beach and the room ammenities were great. Food at the hotel was also... more

It’s difficult to fault this hotel, all aspects ran smoothly – and that’s unusual. I expected to be disappointed with my view of the beach, but I was in room XX08 and it had an acceptable view. The room was spacious, good but not luxurious. The only drawback (some would say a benefit) to the hotel is that it is... more

closed to the beach (barra), godd service but a little bit expensive more

First off, the Sheraton Barra (pronounced "BA-ha") was a 5* compared to the Sheraton Rio, which was the first one we stayed in during our trip. That said, I'm trying to rate it based on my overall experience with hotels without taking into account the relief I felt upon leaving the OTHER hotel and the elation of checking into the... more

It has a wonderful view of the beach, is right on a busy thoroughfare with lots a good restaurants and is everything that you would expect a Sheraton to be. The rooms are very spacious, well appointed and... more

I was on the Sheraton Barra Last weekend. Since I am a gold SPG member I was expecting a big nice suite, in front of the ocean. I had booked online a "Junior Suite", so at least and without any upgrade I hoped to get an amazing room. Well I have to agree with some of the previous comment, the... more

A day at the Sheraton Barra: Wake up to the sounds of streets getting filled with zesty runners and early wave catching surfers Sip Brazilian coffee and people gaze at the terral's terrace while listening to piped samba music Run the mill on 18kms of stretched beaches and sit at any of the numerous coconut cafés Watch all gender and... more
