Having been spoiled by the many beautiful 5 and 6 star resorts of Asia, it's hard to come to terms with the lack of bang-for-your-resort-buck in Brazil. Insolito is indeed quite a charming hotel and the friendly staff certainly make up for the lack of real 5-star property attributes. But at $500-$1000+ per night, one does have to ask oneself... More

As others have said this is a beautiful hotel. It was quiet when we arrived but even full there are so many public spaces it would never feel crowded. The rooms are designed to all feel private. We had a room with two almost completely glassed walls giving a spectacular view over the bay, and a large balcony shaded by... More

This is a fantastic hotel that was just what the doctor ordered after a three-hour bus ride from Rio de Janeiro. The iced lemon water and chilled champagne offered during check-in, and stunning views across Praia da Ferradura’s horseshoe bay, was the perfect start to a lovely stay. The Insolito is perched on a headland overlooking the crescent-shaped beach, and... More

Amazing 21 room boutique accommodation - the most amazing beds! We ordered one of their mattresses. Food was excellent, great beach lounge, lots of little pools and jacuzzi's everywhere. Not cheap but well worth the money More

This beautiful 20 room hotel lies just outside the main town of Buzios. It is beautifully designed and filled with interesting object d'art, art and books. Each room is uniquely decorated. Our first room was lovely (Room 2) but it was just inside a main door and off a short corridor which made it very noisy thanks to a group... More

Lush vegetation, long sandy coves and beaches. What more could a traveller want on holiday? Well, the Insolito provides it. 3 pools, jaccuzis, steam room, sauna, spa and massages all set in an interior designers paradise. The French owner has decorated this hotel to perfection and as you sit, drinking your Mohitos, watching the sun set over the bay and... More

If you like msoquitos, this is the place for you. They are everywhere and silent. Miss a patch off skin with the ubiquitous repellent and they will find it!! The hotel is fully aware of the problem- there are bottles of "Off" located everywhere. Staff were intrigued with my question about why they have not sprayed the surrounding area. The... More
