The resort lounge, pool, and restaurant areas were fantastic. The sound of waves crashing at night were amazing and I slept great every night. A very relaxing hotel and walking distance to Leblon.

Windsor California Copacabana
I love everything about this hotel -- from the courteous, knowledgeable, friendly staff, to the rooftop bar and their restaurants! I didn't have an ocean view but it didn't matter. I just went to the top swimming pool, and/or walked out the front door. I will stay here always!
