Rio Surf n' Stay- Backpackers Reviews
Nick Mcleod - 29 December 2009
Very relaxed place with some good people. If the swell was up, would be great for some surfing.
Customer Review - 18 December 2009
It was a good location for surfing. But was difficult to find using the buses. as is one of the only hostels in the area it was very exspensive for what u got. So were all the extras like board hire. The othe backpackers were fun n friendly.
Customer Review - 29 October 2009
One of my favorite places in Rio for its fantastic location, great atmosphere, and super friendly staff. Looking forward to returning.
James Surgeon - 2 September 2009
This is a great place in the suburbs of Rio, the staff are friendly and provide good surf lessons and the surrounding beaches are fantastic.
Donny Dunstone - 22 April 2009
Awesome place to stay next to an absolutely beautiful and laid back beach! Great food located just a 10 minute walk from hostel (along with movie theater). Nature reserves, walking trails, beautiful waves and daily surf lessons (if you choose). The staff is always there to help, offer advice, AND go out with you to experience the area! Fellow travelers staying at surf and stay are great fun to hang with. pool table, foozball, outside bar, and less than 2 minute walk to a beautiful, relaxed feeling beach - what more can you ask Also, if you feel like joining in the nightlife or more chaotic beach atmosphere of Ipanema/Coppocabana. there is a direct public bus (S-20 or 175) that gets you there in about 45 minutes ($1. 25 U. S. ) - just a 5 minute walk from the hostel Surf n Stay! I will most definitely be returning!!
Customer Review - 3 March 2009
This hostel was wikid fun. the area of recreio is lovely, the little towns around are what i expected brazil to be like. very cultural. the beaches are much nicer than copacabana, ipanema ect. just a little far out if you want to spend alot of time in rio central. but definetly worth staying. the staff were heaps cool.
Matthew Clarke - 5 January 2009
There were some really freindly people staying there and the staff were very helpful. Sadly I was suffering with food poisoning and couldnt enjoy the surf
Pascal Staehli - 5 January 2009
The poeople are really friendly and I would stay there again at any time. Perfect for surfers, especially for beginners. They really take care of you for anything that you need.
