From the check-in to check out, the service was catastrophic. Most of the rooms are facing the swimming pool which does not give much privacy. In the mean time, the other beaches around buzios are quiet protected from the wind. But when it gets windy it becomes just a nightmare. The long beach is quiet nice for long walk and relax time. A taxi cost about 25 reals to get to town. First of all, Rasa Marina is not in buzios but 10 to 15mn away from the center. The website described attractively the Villas, but once you're there it's a total different place you discover. Please avoid this one.Stayed 3 nights at the boutique hotel. You've got lot of choices of nice, private, design pousadas in Buzios. I almost forget, the place is not the cleanest you can find. The breakfast is OK even if you have to raise your voice if you need to get any attention from a waiter. First it is VERY expensive, from the light lunch around the pool, to the room service, and the cocktail that anyway you have to avoid. The pool attendant and barman were nonexistent, but please help yourselves. If you don't speak Portuguese it's even worst as expect one front desk manager speaks English.
One last comment: the beach is a little bit windy, but I actually enjoyed it. However, if you're looking for a calm place, it's a very good option. Due to this fact, you feel as if it is beach only for the hotel, but but it's actually a long, public, beach! That said, be aware that if you're looking for something more vibrant, Villa Rasa Marina is not the place to be, also due to the fact that it is a little bit further from Búzios' downtown. Very nice! Regarding the beach, it doesn't have a huge depth, as its name suggests ("rasa") and I found it to be way less crowded in comparison to other beaches in the same city. As for our lunch, I found the portions to be large and the food followed the principles applied for the architecture: not a large menu, but very decent, tasty and simple. You feel as if you were at your beach house. It's unpretentious, a little minimalistic in some details, but with an excellent taste and coherent with its location, unlike some "chic" wannabe-Saint Tropez lodges that lack a reference of Brazilian culture. Villa Rasa Marina has a very nice "beach town architecture style", as its style has everything to do with the natural environment of a small city at the beach, but at the same time is suitable for a hotel. As I had heard my mother's impressions about the place, I decided to check the hotel and to have a family lunch there. I spent one afternoon at Villa Rasa Marina as my family decided to split - I was staying at relative's house, whereas my mother and grandmother were staying at Villa Rasa for the weekend. Due to this fact, you feel as if it is beach only for the hotel, but but it's actually a long, public, beach! That said, be aware that if you're looking for something more.
