About
Pousada Marambaia Cafe - Praiana, Economica, Com Cafe Da Manha, Piscina E Hidromassagem Ao Ar Livre - Frente Para O Mar
Pousada Marambaia Cafe sits directly in front of the ocean in Barra de Guaratiba, a quieter corner of Rio de Janeiro. The 3-star guesthouse keeps things straightforward: air-conditioned rooms, free Wi-Fi throughout, and a free private car park on site. The outdoor pool and open-air jacuzzi are the main draws, along with a sun terrace and garden furniture for slow afternoons.
Breakfast here earns consistent praise in guest reviews, as does the staff, who are described as friendly and willing to lend plates and cutlery if you bring your own food. The location works well for beach days and hiking – Grumari Beach and several trails are within easy reach. Just note the check-in window is fairly tight (14:00–19:00) and pets are not allowed.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Tight check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 19:00. If your flight or bus arrives later, you may need to plan around it.
- No pets allowed — The pousada does not accept pets, so you’ll need to make other arrangements if travelling with a dog or cat.
- No on-site gym or spa treatments — While there’s a spa lounge, there’s no gym or traditional spa services – just the jacuzzi and outdoor bath.
- Moderate guest rating — The property scores 7.9 overall and 7.3 for general experience – it’s a simple, good-value option, not a luxury stay.
