It's been almost 2 years since I've visited Rio. While its not the best place in the world, the Hotel Atlantico had a liberal visitation policy and is well located. Before I book a room for my next trip, doesn't anyone know if the Atlantico has retained its visitation policies? Thanks.

Hi Reed,

I'm not sure what do you mean by 'retaining its visitation policies'?

When I've stayed at the Atlantico hotel, there was a security person in the lobby who was monitoring the guests entering the hotel. My understanding was that visitors not staying at the hotel had to be registered at the front desk (because of repetitive drugging and stealing of foreign tourists when bringing a "hot date" back to their hotel room in Rio). The "visitation policy" is for your own safety.

what he is referring to is the fact that the Atlantico did not charge you extra for a guest coming to your room, where most hotels in Rio did. If you read the updates from the past few years over at "the other site" (Boytoy.com), you will see that many of the long time visitors to Rio have passed on the Atlantico and started renting apartments in Rio. Much less expensive and more freedom.

If you plan to rent an apartment, use the source that's on http://www.boytoy.com [Escorts South...] or http://www.airbnb.com. I've used both agencies and have been immensely pleased. I used the Rio agency from the information at http://www.boytoy.com and the latter when I traveled to Berlin and Barcelona last October 2013!

While it is true that it is "less expensive" and that you have "more freedom" comparing the costs of an apartment versus a hotel, you also have less security and safety. How does one place a true value on less safety?

 

Some apartments in Brazil have more security than others but there is nothing like 24 hour security of cameras in a hotel lobby and in an elevator which, most likely, lessens the possibility of being robbed or harmed by a visitor to ones' room.

 

At the present time, the hotels in Brazil are outrageously expensive, partly due to the World Cup games in progress in Brazil. It is repeatedly reported in the news that the hotel occupancy rate in Brazil is less than fifty percent of what was anticipated for the World Cup. After the World Cup concludes in Brazil, hotel prices will most likely return to what they were prior to the World Cup frenzy or close to those prices.
