( Okay, we know that today there are so many places to go that even to chose between vacation spots can be a problem: Michigan Fishing Resort, San Diego, Manchebo beach, Waikiki, Maui beach vacation, Lake Hubbard fishing resort, etc...the list is endless. )
In case you decided for Rio, the best way to go for lodging is to stay in a vacation beach rental or vacation apartment, instead of a traditional hotel. The basic reason is that vacation beach apartments have proven to be a winning proposition for local and international tourists who seek for fun, quality, security and privacy in Rio de Janeiro. Many hotels do not allow guests or private invitees in their facilities. Stating in an apartment, you can have all the privacy you need. Dream tourists now desire a new kind of proposition for rental accommodations in Rio: the enjoyment of a true local experience. (Tourists in Brazil want to be able to wear bikinis and flip-flops in fashion to the current trend.)
There are several rental agency sites that offer apartments in Rio as beach vacation rentals. You can choose between accommodations with hot tubs, ultra luxury suites, and even warming oceanfront views for example. You can find furnished apartments and houses in best beach neighborhoods in Rio such as Copacabana, Ipanema, Flamengo, Leblon, Botafogo, and Lagoa. Today, there are hundreds of vacation apartments to choose from. A good way to select the rentals agency is to type in "Vacation Apartment Rio " and see what shows up in Google.
Vacation apartments in Rio may vary significantly: In most of the cases, you can choose between cheap, budget, economic, quality, luxury and super luxury units in different type of rentals like apartments, penthouses, studios, lofts, houses, condos, bedrooms and even villas! Prices also vary from US$ 30.00 a day for a room to several hundred US$ a week. Some beachfront apartments in Copacabana can cost USD 2500 a week.00 per week. Also, be careful if your rental business contacts are rude. That could be a headache in the future. Be sure to use the apartment reservation process as a way to "check-out" the company you are dealing with. Many forms of payments are taken by rentals agencies, such as Credit Cards, wire-transfers and PayPal.
Don´t forget to plan ahead when travelling to Brazil. Search through the rentals company's site, choose the vacation apartment, negotiate well the price (especially from March until October, period considered low season) and reserve the desired option.
