Flight great, communication bad

Booking was very easy but despite about 20 mails nobody informed us about what time we will be picked up by the driver. The hotline speaks only Portuguese. Only our concierge at the hotel succeeded. The driver and the flight were mega-punctual. Very professional procedure.

Poor Xmas Lunch Service

We have been coming to the Borrowdale Hotel for 30 years unfortunately the Xmas Lunch was very disappointing and the service was slow and poor. They even got the bill wrong, we were charged for some one elses drinks.

Excellent

My daughter and I spent 5 days in Rio de Janeiro, which we loved Our travel Agent had organised a helicopter ride via Rio Caroca Tour Ltd. We were picked up and dropped off from our hotel on Copacabana beach. The helicopter base was a long way, but we didn’t mind (approx. 1hr and 30 minutes return). Unfortunately, that day was a little cloudy but managed to have a great view of the beaches, Christ the Redeemer and Sugar Load Mountain. It was awesome we both loved this helicopter ride and wish it was longer. Would highly recommend Only issue I would have is that we were told the ride would be approx. 30/35minutes ours was 20 minutes exactly. Not sure why but great anyway

If the elevator had been working, my experience would have been a lot more pleasant!

Overpriced for what you get! For elderly people with walking problems this is a no no since you need to walk up stairs to get from the street entrance to the elevator, which takes you, (if and when it works) to the reception on the second floor. The carpeted floor in the reception and dining areas are stained and could need a thorough cleaning. My room was okay, except there were no towel holders in the bathroom or soap dish in the shower stall. For hot water you need to let the water run for at least 10-15 minutes. Daytime receptionist not particularly caring. The only redeeming factor is the hotel’s central location.

I'd come back 100 more times

Pleasure trip with friends. In August, we traveled 3 couples to Memories Varadero in Cuba. All great, beautiful beaches, great service. Very good Restaurant Criollo, thanks to Yeinys, Wendy and Yusteidys. So is the Japanese Resaurant. It's so big, so big, you get tired of walking, it's a shame, like us, there are some foods that don't reach them, but they give it all the ripple.

¡Hola! Creo que se equivocó de ubicación, pero estamos contentos de que haya sido una buena experiencia.
