The hotel is beginning to show its age but is well maintained overall. My first visit to the hotel was in 2016 and the most recent in September 2026. The staff is still great and I would return.

10/10 Exceptional

We chose the Windsor Marapendi for our anniversary trip, and overall, the experience was very positive. The hotel facilities are top-notch, and the breakfast is simply excellent. I want to give a special mention to the staff: they had a wonderful attitude and fulfilled absolutely every request we made during our stay. ​The only area for improvement was our experience at the restaurant, which fell a bit short compared to the rest of the hotel. There were a couple of disappointing details: we were served in a cracked glass, and there was a noticeable lack of digestif options after our meal. ​Despite this specific setback at the restaurant, the quality of the staff and the great amenities make this a highly recommended place to stay.

This was a nice hotel - excellent location just across from the beach. Staff was very helpful and check in and check out was efficient. I had only one issue (probably due to Expedia booking) - that when I added a day (since there wasn't an early check in) option my booking was changed to not include the breakfast buffet. So I can't comment on the breakfast and I was surprised not to have it! All in all a good place to stay!

The front staff was very friendly and helpful! They do their best to speak English when I cannot speak fluent Portuguese and Spanish. The restaurant and bar staff were also very friendly. The cleaning staff are nice. The beach view from my room was very pretty. It would have been nice to have a balcony and/or be able to open the windows to allow the ocean breeze in.

the room was nice but a little dated. There was a small makeup mirror that was not cleaned the entire time even though I left it out. The beach was nearby and that was amazing. I was there for a work meeting and everything was great for that.
Verified review

6/10 Good

The hotel is well located, the staff is excellent, and the breakfast is outstanding. However, the property clearly needs renovation, and it does not meet the standards expected of a five-star hotel, despite being marketed as such. Overall, it is a comfortable stay, but the classification feels overstated.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

I had a pleasant stay overall at Mirapendi Windsor. The hotel is located a bit outside the main tourist areas of Rio de Janeiro, so getting to attractions can take some time. However, if you are looking for a comfortable stay near the beach, it offers good value for money. The rooms are solid and comfortable. While some areas are starting to show their age, everything was clean and well maintained. The breakfast selection was decent, though not particularly outstanding. What stood out most was the service. My first room was located next to the elevators, and unfortunately, I experienced very noisy neighbors during the first night. After mentioning the issue to the staff, they handled it professionally and moved me to a much better room, which even came with an ocean view. This demonstrated excellent customer service and a genuine commitment to guest satisfaction. Overall, this is a good hotel with clean, comfortable rooms, solid facilities, and attentive staff. While the location is somewhat removed from central Rio and the property could benefit from some modernization, the service more than makes up for these shortcomings.

Great experience! English-speaking staff made it so easy. Location is in a very safe area. Breakfast buffet was incredible and we were so glad they had protein (eggs, bacon, and yogurts)--which was not available in other Brazilian hotels we stayed at, as carbs/cake are often served for breakfast. Nearby is an açai bowl place (bonus).
