We were robbed in the hotel

We were robbed in the hotel in two of the three rooms we had. Instead of providing a solution, they didn't let anyone else enter the room.

My son was robbed in the hotel and the staff didn't want to know. I was forced to go to the police station next to Rocinha Favela to file a report.

the children's room (903) had a foul sewage odor

To make matters worse, the children's room (903) had a foul sewage odor. Although they assured us they would address it, no solution was provided during our entire stay.

Aggressive and invasive timeshare scheme

You can't have breakfast without a salesperson approaching you to 'get to know' the property and hear the proposal. Everything is done in the worst possible way. They are invasive, rude when you refuse.
