Great location on the beach, in very safe area - so much better than grubby, dull Copa....very good, generous breakfasts(shame about the eggs); really helpful front desk service. Just a shame about the shabby nature of the rooms which badly need a refit , or a clean up at least. Overpriced. Is this really the best Rio can do at... more

This hotel was a pleasant surprise, rooms were very bright and clean, fairly spacious with a great view overlooking Leblon and Ipanema beaches. The beds were comfortable (we got a triple room even though we asked for a twin... so one to jump on!!) and the shower was one of the best we had in Brazil. Didn't use the pool... more

The Marina Palace has one thing going for it and that’s the location: right on the beach in Leblon close to all the attractions as well as great bars and restaurants. The hotel itself though has seen better days and looks tired and worn out and has a damp and musty smell that’s seems everywhere. My room on the 16th... more

We recently spent a week at the MP in Leblon that we received as a wedding gift (RCI exchange). Because of some confusion with the reservation (having to do with the fact that we were using someone else's RCI week), the reservation was made for 3 people rather than 2, so our room had 3 twin beds. With just a... more

The Marina Palace I would rate as the second of the three hotels. Unfortunately breakfast was not included. However the rooms are clean and very... more

Stayed for a couple of nights. Booked through hotel web site paying £115/night. Didn't think it was worth it but found most places expensive. Great view of Leblon/Ipanema beach even from the side. Good air con. Shower excellent. The hotel has a great bar attached. There is a small pool on the roof which is a perfect alternative to the... more

Rooms are old and poorly equiped. Location is good and that's about it. You can do much better with this money in Rio. more

The pictures on the internet looked good, when we arrived the front desk said they didn´t have our reservation and they didn´t reconize the confirmation number we had. They did find us a room with a view like they were doing us a favor or something. All i can say is thank god for the view!! The rooms look exactly... more
