Hibiscus Beach Pousada

This was my first time to Buzios – a business trip in August, the southern hemisphere's winter. I stayed at the Hibiscus Beach Pousada for 9 nights and enjoyed every aspect. Each ‘room’ at this pousada is an individual bungalow that is built up a hill-side. One of the nicest beach is a 1 minute walk out the front door. Each bungalow has French doors that open to a small private patio overlooking the sea… Every room has a tremendous view, and as a previous review noted, the higher the room, the better the view (I too was at the top in room #9). The staff was great. English is my only language and I had no problems. They even arranged a car for the 2.5hr ride to the airport in Rio at a rate much cheaper than any other private transportation. The location of the pousada is towards the tip of the Buzios peninsula and is much quieter at night than ‘downtown’. For shopping and nightlife, the walk to down town is a beautiful 10 minute stroll along the waterfront (very safe, even late at night). The rooms were immaculate and comfortable. The free-breakfast was served promptly at 8:30am (and it is a good mix of fresh fruit, cereals, pastries and scrambled eggs). I could not get a strong WiFi signal in my room, but it was a pleasure to take my laptop down to the restaurant area to work online. Overall – I cannot imagine a nicer experience in Buzios than the Hibiscus Beach.

I been in Buzios before, first time in this posada. This is very nice place, worth every single piece of your money.Joao Fernandez beach is about 100 meters from your room's door, the sea views right at your balcony, the downtown many great restaurants at 10 minutes enjoyable walk. The place is rustic but sparkling clean, small not Paris-like though!) very confortable rooms with safe, TV, free WiFi, phone, great bathrooms. The staff (multilingual (French-English-Spanish)extremely nice, they not only respond to you but go the extra mile, For instance I asked for an airline phone number and they offered to rebook my itinerary, I asked about taxi, they called one for me.. etc, small details but it is what make a big diference. I definitely will book again this place next time in Buzios.
