Moon lounge Food Truck The views from this lounge were incredible! This lounge is on the rooftop at the JW Marriott in Rio. Quite surprised to see that they have a food truck, swimming pool, spa the lounge with killer views. I couldn’t believe the size of the passion fruit so of course I had to have a passion fruit Caipirinha. The FIRST one was so good I had to have another, and I think I had one more, lol. I WOULD recommend, I will, go back!

According to Rio's standards this hotel is a five-star hotel. I've been to other Marriott hotels that are definitely five star hotels this is not a 5-star hotel but it is definitely one of the better hotels that they do have in Rio according to what I've seen. The staff all speak English very well & that's a plus because the language barrier is something else. Rooms were basic and very small. I was suppose to have a mountain view and I was so tired from the flight that I didn't bother asking for a different room. I figured i wouldn't be in the room much anyway. It was clean and comfortable enough. The rooftop pool & bar is a wonderful view 9f copacabana beach. Drinks were NY priced but strong and on our last evening after a relaxing massage at the spa and a quick shower we sat out there lounging in the shade sipping some drinks until it was ready to leave to the airport. The airline staff were relaxing up there after a lung flight as well. Saturday night there is a party up there and ppl come from all over to hang out. The bartenders were cool and informative (Yousef) & all the staff were very helpful. This hotel is in a really good location. Close to the beach and within walking distance to many shops. Oh and on the beach they provide umbrellas and chairs & towels. They set it all up for you as well.

Really cool location to view copacabana beach.

It is not open to public! They should state this basic info on their google account so nobody wastes time. Hard to understand their business mentality… At least they can make it public for monday to Wednesday and public can enjoy the nice view. I am sure it is empty for most days.

Great views from the roof of JW Marriott. The food and ambience are good as well.

Very Underwhelming. May be bad luck, from the first point of contact so disappointing until departure. Check in was a mess. We received free drink vouchers in which we chose wine at the bar. We mostly this wine in our home and was not of usual taste. We were “showed-up” by the manager of the bar, only after his dramatic role how ignorant we were about wine....after the show of swirling, sniffing, tasting he did eventually lean in our favor, but barely. Did I mention we own a chain of liquor stores with a sommelier on sight 75% of the time. He wins.

The lounge at JW in Rio is very small and limited on offerings. Has great view of Copa Cabana Beach but this does make up for other lounge shortcomings... This lounge is in the bottom percentage of JW lounges worldwide...

Lamb wraps were so good I went back twice. Views overlook the strip.

The service was very slow and the best highest part of the roof top is not accessible. The glass railing is tinted, so you can't see through it. It misses the mark is too many ways.

For those Marriott purists like myself, there is very limited options in Rio, and only 1 option on Copacabana (I'll probably end up trying the Sheraton on Ipanama next time but the JW is more centrally located). 30 min ride from the airport is pretty quick, as well as 10-20 min to most key destination. Also plenty of good dining options nearby. The JW itself is nothing to write home about - the lobby is decent, though doesn't feel 5-star or luxury as you'll see in asian resorts or the newer nicer US ones. Plenty of seating (though not super comfortable) and a small bar. There's a small check-in area with friendly and informative staff - check-in was quick and painless like how you expect. The concierge was one of the highlights, very informative, patient, and will help you book attractions and reserve restaurants. Definitely talk to him before you go anywhere. We had a room right below the club lounge facing the ocean. The room itself was ok size, not tiny but can be more spacious for longer stays. The one small chair doesn't really do it for furniture. Tiny TV (though there was a decent amount of English channels so that's a plus. Bathroom is ok size, can be a bit bigger and more luxurious. The oceanview is great though, definitely want one of those if you can get it. Sweeping views of the beach (that has people in it at all hours). The Rooftop gym is super nice and empty, definitely recommend checking it out. The views up top are great, though the windows make it difficult for a good picture. Small bar and food truck (Seriously, how did that get up there) to provide drinks and food for those staying a while. There are a few comfortable cabanas for relaxing. The pool itself is nothing great to speak of, it's heated but off to the side so you really don't have a view of anything. The Hyatt seems amazing at the end of Copacabana, will definitely want to try that in the future some day.

The view is beautiful! The beer was hot and EXTREMELY over-priced $41 reis for 2 domestic long necks.

Great views, kind staff, music and great drinks. Open to walk in’s in dec 22

Great rooms, excellent breakfast and roof bar.
