Amenities
We have traveled a lot, and we think we have thought of just about everything necessary for a great stay. The amenities described here are the free items and services that we provide. If you are comparing us to other places in Rio, be sure to take into account the things that are included in your room price when you stay with Rio Holiday.
Sparkling Wine Breakfast
First Class Linens
Trip Planning
Every morning, our guests receive a complimentary breakfast that includes sparkling prosecco wine. Why prosecco? Because Brazil is well known for its exports of this wine. Served in our Bistro, you may choose from breakfast breads, fresh fruit, and hot a la carte specialties of the chef. Some guests just can’t do anything without their first cup of coffee. We understand and complimentary coffee is available in the Bistro all day.
We have selected high quality innerspring mattresses for our guests. These are only found in the best Brazilian accommodations, and we think they are well worth the extra cost. Our linens are 100% cotton.
For many people, a trip to South America is a once in a lifetime event. No matter how you feel about it, a little planning is in order. At Rio Holiday, we are here to help, and we begin even before you arrive. Our Hospitality Manager will send you a short questionnaire designed to determine your interests. From there, we will make sure that you have plans to see and do the things most important to you. This process continues after your arrival, where Rio Holiday can help you organize excursions, tours, or any activity, even at the last minute.
Daily Maid Service
Free High Speed WiFi
Free Guest Lanudry
We think a vacation should be as carefree as possible. When you stay with Rio Holiday, you can forget about cleaning usually required at places like AirBnB. Our friendly staff will clean your suite daily and change your linens at your request. At nighttime, we will freshen your room and turn down your bed.
When it comes to WiFi, we have spared no expense on our state-of-the-art system. From many access points to fiber optic cable service, we make sure that all of your devices will get a strong, fast, secure connection. And, its totally free.
No, we don’t have a laundromat. What we have is much better. Our staff will be happy to launder any of your clothes at no charge. If you need dry cleaning, we can send that out, but there is a nominal charge from the dry cleaner.
Streaming TV
Currency Exchange
Business Services
Nobody goes to Brazil to sit in their room and watch TV. But just in case you are feeling lazy, or tired, or curious, we have you covered. Each guest suite includes a smart flat screen TV. We use the Google TV streaming system that offers news, sports, and movies in several languages.
Exchanging currency on the street or from random people at the airport is discouraged because of the high chance or counterfeit Reals. The rate offered by airport banks or services in your own country will be more expensive. We have an arrangement with a Brazilian travel agency that is licensed to exchange currency. Our guests are able to exchange US Dollars, Euros, or other currencies into Brazilian Reals at the current published rate. Not sure how much to exchange? Don’t worry. If you have Reals left over, you can apply them to your Rio Holiday service bill, or exchange them back at the same rate that you exchanged them with us! So you are not charged both ways.
Can’t get away unless you can keep in touch? We understand. We can help you print documents, send a fax, or make copies. We can even help you arrange a Portuguese translator if necessary for you to keep in touch with the work-a-day world. It happens, but it should not be a worry while on vacation.
