of the few somewhat rough types I've run into at 202, Junior scares me the most. Probably why they tell you to leave valuables at the front desk....so Junior's not tempted. He's a "presence" But he keeps the working boys in line. . 

Are you certain that you were told or read that the sauna tells clients to leave valuables at the front desk?

If so, this recommendation is in conflict to the existence of lockers with keys being assigned to all visitors to the sauna.

I cannot image why any customer would be asked to leave valuables at the front desk rather than in  the assigned locker that is secured with a key.  

I would not take something of high value to a sauna.  If I did bring a valuable item to the sauna, the last thing I would do is tell the sauna employees that I want them to guard or keep my valuable item for me at "the front desk".  Taking a valuable item to a sauna then telling the sauna employees at the front desk that you have a valuable item for them to guard, is an invitation for the valuable item to disappear or later become an item to be stolen.   

As to Junior being scary, I cannot imagine how or why you feel that way.  Although Junior likes excessively loud music, I find him fairly mellow and harmless, despite the awful loud music.

In my many visits, I have never been asked to leave anything at the front desk.

The only thing I ever left at that sauna was my virginity!

I went to 117 last weekend and noticed a lot more customers wore street clothing while inside (garotos wore towels) I went a year ago and most if not all of us just wore towels.

is this a new trend? Just found it odd. I wore a towel but then a  fellow customer thought I was a garoto lmao but figured out I wasn’t when I barely spoke Portuguese.

happy Thanksgiving from Brasil!

I’m a resident here in Rio, and I find that at Club 117 and Point 202, about half to 60% of the clients are wearing towels and the other half to 40% are in their street clothes or disrobed down to nothing but shorts or undies. Maybe about 80 to 90% of the working boys are in towels and the rest are in street clothes, shorts or undies. I find that a lot of Americans (from the USA) especially tend to stay in their street clothes, and some of that is cultural. Most of my friends visiting from the USA tend to stay in their street clothes or at the most disrobe to shorts. Of course, those that actually use the steam room or showers drop down to towels. I haven’t really noticed any upward trend, but now that you bring it up, I’ll try to pay more attention!

BTW, if you are a client who was actually mistaken for a garoto, then consider yourself one of the fortunate few! The large majority of us schlubs would not ever be mistaken for one of the working boys. 😃

How does Lagoa compare with Rio's 117 and Pointe 202? 117 is my favorite by far. 

Where is 117 and Pointe 202 located? I can’t find them on google maps.
