Your Perfect Room

✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026

Before you check in to Espírito do Mar, here's what to know about choosing the right room.

Best rooms to request

Request rooms on the higher floors (4th or 5th) for a quieter stay, as these floors are likely to be farther away from the street noise on Rua dos Anequins. Additionally, consider rooms on the east or west side of the hotel for a better view of the surrounding area.

⚠️

Rooms to avoid

Rooms near the lift (elevator) may experience noise from guests and staff, so it's best to avoid rooms 101, 201, 301, and 401, which are likely to be closest to the lift. Also, be aware that rooms in the lower floors (1st-3rd) may be more prone to street noise.

🪟

Best views

Given the hotel's address, rooms on the east side (towards the ocean) on floors 4 or 5 may offer a better view of the surrounding area and the sea beyond.

😴

Quietest floors

Floors 4 and 5 are likely the quietest, given their higher elevation and distance from the street.

🔊 Noise notes

Be aware that Rua dos Anequins is a main street in Cabo Frio, and noise from traffic and pedestrians can be present throughout the day and evening. The hotel's location near the beach means that you may also hear some noise from beachgoers and water activities.

Insider tips

Request a room with a balcony or a higher floor for a better view of the ocean and surrounding area. If you're driving, be aware that parking spaces may be limited, so it's a good idea to arrive early to secure a spot.

How to request your preferred room:
  1. Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
  2. Add a note in your booking comments field
  3. Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
