Boutique Resort
For luxury purists, it wouldn't be our first hotel choice in Buzios with the chic Insolito and Casas Brancas just on the other side of the peninsula. But with its beach location on the town's best surf beach, Serena Buzios Resort is a budget-chic resort hotel high on style at a great on price even during holiday high season. Visitors arrive to a design compound just off the Geribá sand concealed within a tropical forest that's walking distance to hotspots like Fish Bone beach club. A modernist style envelopes a series of traditional cottages and bungalows with terracotta roofs that contain guest room etched in wood slating and native details. At the center of the resort is a rectangular pool deck trimmed in teak decking near a stylish outdoor bar and terrace eatery. Inside, more formal Alma Resto-Lounge offers a full dinner service with gourmet edge available to outside guests or as full-board supplement to overnight visitors.
The Room
Numerous guest room categories mean you get what you pay for with standard rooms equipped with simple bed and side table combinations of dark, indistinguishable furnishings and more-modern bathrooms with mosaic tile details. Mid-range suites are big enough for small families with two-room layout and direct access to furnished patio or terrace. Apartment and loft-style accommodations come with a bi-level design with bedrooms and baths on the first level with outdoor showers and upper-level lounge with TV that can double as a second bedroom.
