Ilha da Gigoia is the best Rio has to offer. The boat crossings are a special treat. The authentic warmth of a community without dangers, the Barra attractions without pretentiousness and high prices. Oasis do Barral fits perfectly in the island. Of course if you want a “sophisticated” international hotel where you need a car or taxi to go anywhere, this is not for you.

The host is an absolute sweetheart, we were able to communicate via a translator app. The property usually requires to prepay one night via PIX (which is a local analog of PayPal), but since we didn’t have it, was flexible about it. The place is on an island and the vibe of island life is different from the big city, we loved it. Traveling with a ferry was no problem, you don’t usually wait for it longer than a few minutes and it’s not expensive, just have some cash ready (3 Real per person to the island or 6, if you wanna be dropped off closer to the property). We were able to leave our bags for the day before the flight. Breakfast (coffee and a sandwich) was a nice surprise and was delicious. There was a hummingbird feeder, so you have a good chance of seeing one. We would love to come again.

Simply amazing! I had a very great time there. Friendly and lovely staff, very nice breakfast and suite. The patio and pool outside were really relaxing, also because the house is in a secluded safe area. Would recommend 100% when you stay in Rio (even if only for 1 night like me) - very relaxing experience. They were even so kind and let me stay a couple of hours longer because I can to get a new sim card.
