We stayed for one week in November 2009. This was part conference at a location away from the hotel and our trip was also part leisure. The hotel is beautiful and in a beautiful location. It does process a lot of tourists and at least three separate on-site conferences were held the week we were there. The front portico is... more

My husband attended a conference here. It has beautiful and large guest rooms. The bathrooms are nice with dual sinks and a large shower. The view from the rooftop pool is stunning. It is a 360 degree view of the beach and surrounding mountains. We used the beach in front of the hotel a couple times. They have beach chairs... more

I stayed at the Windsor Barra for a conference, and I had a wonderful time there. Unlike many other parts of Rio, it's pretty safe in Barra. It's a bit out of town, but there's a free bus going to the Barra Shopping and back, so there's absoluteliy no probel to go shopping. The staff was very nice, smiling all... more

My wife and I stayed at the Windsor Barra for 3-days. The hotel is very nice but very few employees speak english. The girl at the front desk that could speak english, her name was Gaberlia, (not sure of correst spelling) was not nice and at time very rude. I would not stay at this hotel again. tom more

We went for a family trip to Rio and after reading the reviews posted we decided to book this hotel. It was a wise decision since it was a nice hotel to stay in especially when you travel with elder people, which was the case. Barra da Tijuca is way out of the city center which can be a dissadvantage... more

I stay at Windsor Barra last September for a Conference. We were a group of 6 people from Portugal. The hotel is very good decorated, excellent location for a great beach. The double rooms are very good but all to the left or right side of the hotel. Very clean and all the staff (including cleaning staff) was very helpful... more

This is essentially a modern business conference hotel and for that, it works well. For a family, there are better beaches in Rio although there is nothing wrong with that stretch, but there are few activities for kids etc. Its safe and secure. General staff were above average and the conference staff are superbly helpful. The internet is iffy but... more

A standard, functional option in Barra. Beach right opposite, and the views were nice, except for the rain! Room was fine with a little balcony, which was nice. Breakfast was nothing exceptional, but OK, likewise for dinner. more

In agreement with other reviewers - the only reason we were booked at this hotel was a conference. Since this property is used often for business, the hotel should adopt a more enlightened internet policy. $50US for a 24 hour wireless connection is absurd, after paying hundreds per night for a room. According to staff, this outrageous policy is controlled... more

Stayed for a business meeting. Barra is a long way from the centre/interesting parts of Rio so quite a journey and often terrible traffic jams. The beach at Barra and the esplanade is very beautiful until you look inland and see the Miami-style development of huge apartment blocks. The hotel is fine but boring. The restaurant a massive (and while... more
