My stay at Longboard Paradise Surfclub was absolutely perfect. The place is very nice and clean, I was comfortable the whole time. It is right in front of the beach so there is a gorgeous view of the ocean. Breakfast was included and it was a generous portion and yummy food! I also took advantage of the pool and sauna, which was super fun! All of the staff are kind, helpful, and welcoming. The restaurant at the place had great food and was fairly priced. I also ended up making friends with several of the other guests staying there! The place has a recreational room with a tv, sitting area, Sinuca table, and dining table. It was super cute and the perfect spot to socialize and hang out with friends.
The surf lessons were my favorite part. The instructors were all very nice and wonderful teachers. I learned quite fast due to their guidance! And it was so fun hanging out with them while waiting for waves.
I am also especially grateful for Lucas, who besides being an awesome surfing instructor, was a huge part of making my trip super exciting and fun! He had so many great recommendations for restaurants, bars and nightlife, and nearby beaches, hikes, and viewpoints (and almost all of them within walking distance!) He would sometimes accompany us on our outings and he is such lovely company! He went above and beyond to make sure we fell in love with Recreio Dos Bandeirantes, and I definitely did :)
I will certainly be coming back here...

I've been to over 30 countries in hundreds of hostels and by far this one is my favorite If I were to open a hostel this would be the one I would start I uploaded some photos of the hostel as well The surf break is great for longboarding it's great to learn at it's all saying I brought my hydrofoil here from Hawaii and had a great time.
The staff is really good they spoke good English, Wi-Fi was really good over the entire hostel,
I have a motorcycle that I was able to park at their other sister location which is another hostel close by,
they also have a cafe that had some nice food that I got to eat that was nice when I got done surfing
also when I got done surfing I really loved using the sauna to relax my muscles and then jump into the pool afterwards.
The rooms were clean I also really like the hangout room in the living room that had a PlayStation and Netflix and a place for yoga
They have private rooms and dorm rooms...
Read moreThe best place to stay in Rio! In one of the most safest neighborhoods in the city, I have never seen anything like this place. Outside of this complex being equipped with all the materials for surfing, it is filled with entertainment inside it’s own facility. Living rooms with high quality televisions, sauna, swimming pool, gym, space for yoga, so many bathrooms. The 4 days that I stayed here with my wife felt like magic. I want to thank Mr. Hamilton, Julia, Clarissa, Mika, Ana Laura, Eddy and the entire staff of people who went out of their way to make this the best trips of our lives. If you ever have the chance, you must visit this hidden paradise, located in one of 7 most beautiful cities...
