In March, we rented a fab house in Santa Teresa for my cousin's wedding. There were nine of us and it was awesome as there are verandas, gardens, hammocks, pool and lots of spaces to chill out in, so you're not cramped up in a hotel room like in Copacabana. We even hung out there a couple of nights, trying to make 'capirinhas' from starfruit that fell from the trees in the garden and having a midnight swim in the pool. Another highlight was a restaurant nearby called Aprazivel where we ate up in a treehouse! Santa Teresa is an awesome place to stay regardless - you´re close to the beach but don't feel like just another tourist.

This hotel is just across the road from Copacabana beach near the Old Fort (worth a look). We were there in April 2006 and the hotel cost USD $60 a night B&B for the two of us. We had a sea view, very nice room with a large double bed, TV and mini bar and en-suite bathroom. The room was excellent, the staff really friendly and the buffet breakfast was superb. A real gem of a place and very reasonable.
