Windsor Barra

This is a good hotel across from the beach. Very clean and secure. They offer beach service: towels that you pick up on SS1 and then on the beach they have umbrellas and chairs (if available). Breakfast buffet is included and very good. Service is slow so if you are a coffee drinker and expect to drink a few cups you will have to patiently wait for a server or if you are lucky, they might leave the coffee in your table.
The pool is located on the top floor and is never crowded. They also have clean pool towels. Just help yourself.
Things that they could improve:
— service is slow
— valet is even worse. If you are in a hurry, call ahead to ask for your car and have patience to wait some more. One time it took 30 MINuTES to get our car
— Internet: wifi is slow and you pay for it
There are a few restaurants close by. The pasta one next door is fancy and more expensive. The steak house to the other side is good but seat were greasy. I prefer wallking a few more blocks and going to «Baladinha Mix» to eat some brazilian food and nice juices.
We ate at the hotel a few times for lunch and dinner and it was too expensive for what they had. Just when is raining but their «Feijoada» on Saturday is delicious and you must try if you like black beans. ;-)
Esse hotel é bem localizado na praia na Barra. Bem limpo e seguro mas nao é perfeito. Falaram 5 estrelas mas nao concordo. Alguns elevadores nao funcionam para alguns andares, o serviço no café da manha é muito lento e a internet nao é de graça como a maioria dos hoteis 5 estrelas!!!
Voce paga R$ 30 por dia pela Internet
Eles oferecem toalhas pra praia no sub solo, e cadeiras e guarda sol tb na praia quando estao disponiveis. Na cobertura onde fica a piscina, eles tambem tem toalhas a disposicao e lanchonete.
Para jantar e almoçar fomos raramente ao restaurante do hotel pois é muito caro para o que oferece. De sabado eles tem uma feijoada deliciosa com batidinha de coco mas o resto da semana eu prefiro caminhar e ir em outros restaurantes maravilhosos de frente pra praia tb.
Gostaria muito que o Maitre na hora do café da manha parasse de bater papo com os outros funcionarios e prestasse atençao aos hospedes com xicaras vazias.
O Chef que faz os waffles e omeletes é uma simpatia e otimo na cozinha. O café da manha vale a pena especialmente por causa do omelete dele.

For the price this is a very average hotel.
Lets start by identifying that we did know that this hotel was a fair distance from all the major sites in Rio. Our decision to stay here for part of our trip was to enjoy a couple of days of rest and relaxation on the beach before the sightseeing part of our trip at which point we booked a hotel on Copacabana beach.
Our room was nice and fairly comfortable. The mattress on the bed was a coil spring that would cause your partner to move when you did. One thing we did find odd in the room was a full window looking into the bathroom from the sleeping quarters. Presumable to let in natural lite into the bathroom? Or maybe for your partner to provide you with some more kinky viewing entertainment? Like I said, odd!
We were amazed at how many people were working at any given time. There alway seemed to be employees standing around doing what was preceived to be nothing.
Breakfast was very good. We alway had plenty of options to enjoy. This kept us filled for the majority of the day which was nice. As mentioned there were plenty of staff to assist but it was difficult at times to get a cup of coffee. Not because there wasn’t anyone free but because there were too many employees free and they were talking amongst each other.
The rooftop pool was nice and we took advantage of it. It had great views that we enjoyed.
The hotel also offered towels, chairs and umbrellas for when you wanted to visit the beach which was a nice bonus.
Our only complaint would be the WiFi service. In this day and age I’m still astonished that hotels charge their guest for internet access. I mean come on, every McDonalds offers free access and a hotel that charges $ 300 CDN a night can’t? It ridiculous. There was even a charge to use the business center.
Maybe if they didn’t have so many staff standing around doing nothing they could use that savings to provide internet access to their guest. You’re in the hospitality industry. You want to make people feel at home or at the very least connect with people back home.

Is is very well located with very well services and amenities. It looks like a hotel from the 80’s, kinda old. It is in front of the beach, with gym, pool and great restaurant. The food is brazilian, lots of fruits and local food. Staff is very nice and helpful. The only things like a lot of hotels in Brazil is that they charge per internet use everywhere. So, even if you come for business I don’t think that’s right. It is OK and useful.

O hotel fica localizado na praia da barra. Quando falamos em barra já sabemos que vai ser foda de chegar né? Ir de ônibus demora uma vida, e se for de carro sem conhecer grandes chances de se perder. Mas para os hóspedes eles tem vários serviços de transporte e tal, bem legal. Fui em um evento lá e foi ótimo. Muito bem organizado, o ar condicionado funcionando direitinho, o wi-​fi também. As salas de palestras são muito bem estruturadas, com tomadas perto das cadeiras pra quem quiser carregar o celular. Tem uma área pra fumantes com mesas e guarda sol, de frente pra praia. A vista é ótima.Várias empresas optam por fazer eventos lá.

Um hotel cinco estrelas que faz juz ao status. Eu nunca me hospedei no hotel, mas já participei de eventos. Sobre isso o serviço é impecável. Os funcionários são super atenciosos e dão toda estrutura para que tudo ocorra sem nenhum transtorno. O coffe break é maravilhoso.
Falando em comida, o restaurante do hotel possui serviço de buffet, com diferentes opções de peixes e carnes. No momento que você está fazendo seu prato já é possível espiar as sobremesas que são deliciosas.

O lugar é demais. Possui umas das melhores vistas da Barra da Tijuca. O hotel é cinco estrelas e não faz por menos. Todos os apartamentos são amplos e com uma decoração maravilhosa. Todos possuem ar condicionado, internet banda larga, TV a cabo, minibar, rádio, cofre e janelas à prova de som. O café da manhã está incluso.
A gastronomia do Windsor é maravilhosa. Oferece em seu restaurante pratos em nível internacional e um serviço impecável. Além disso, tem um piano bar extremamente lindo e um bar panorâmico onde é possível desfrutar do pôr-​do-​sol na Barra desfrutando de um drink. Para comodidade dos hóspedes o room servife trabalha 24 horas. Toda sábado serve feijoada ao melhor estilo carioca e no domingo o Champagne Brunch, sendo este bem disputado entre os hóspedes.
Possui uma área de lazer maravilhosa com duas piscinas, sendo uma adulta e uma infantil que são aquecidas no inverno e sem falar na vista proporcionada para o mar, hidromassagem, sauna, uma academia muito bem equipada e serviço na praia, para quem não quer se preocupar com nada enquanto relaxa.
