Today we are going to provide you with an important tip when traveling to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: Hotels or vacation beach rentals?

(Okay, we know that today there are so many places to go that even to chose between vacation spots can be a problem: Michigan Fishing Resort, San Diego, Manchebo beach, Waikiki, Maui beach vacation, Lake Hubbard fishing resort, etc...the list is endless. )

In case you decided for Rio, the best way to go for lodging is to stay in a vacation beach rental or vacation apartment, instead of a traditional hotel. The basic reason is that vacation beach apartments have proven to be a winning proposition for local and international tourists who seek for fun, quality, security and privacy in Rio de Janeiro. Many hotels do not allow guests or private invitees in their facilities. If you stay in apartment in Rio, you are able to live the spontaneous life of a true Carioca (name given for those born in city of Rio), while taking profit of the comfort you deserve when traveling abroad. Dream tourists now desire a new kind of proposition for rental accommodations in Rio: the enjoyment of a true local experience. (Tourists in Brazil want to be able to wear bikinis and flip-flops in fashion to the current trend.)

There are several rental agency sites that offer apartments in Rio as beach vacation rentals. You can choose between accommodations with hot tubs, luxury suites and warming oceanfront views for example. You can find furnished apartments and houses in best beach neighborhoods in Rio such as Copacabana, Ipanema, Flamengo, Leblon, Botafogo, and Lagoa. Today, there are hundreds of vacation apartments to choose from. Type in "Vacation Apartment in Rio" in Google and see the list of rental agencies that show up in English. This could be your initial research process.

Vacation apartments in Rio may vary significantly: In most of the cases, you can choose between cheap, budget, economic, quality, luxury and super luxury units in different type of rentals like apartments, penthouses, studios, lofts, houses, condos, bedrooms and even villas! Prices also vary from US$ 30.00 a day for a room to several hundred US$ a week. Some oceanfront penthouses in Ipanema can cost up to USD 2000.00 per week. Also, be careful if your rental business contacts are rude. That could be a headache in the future. Be sure to use the apartment reservation process as a way to "check-out" the company you are dealing with. Most of the rentals agencies in Rio take Paypal, Credit Card, and wire-transfers.

Next time when visiting Brazil, plan ahead. Search through the rentals company's site, choose the vacation apartment, negotiate well the price (especially from March until October, period considered low season) and reserve the desired option. If you follow carefully these tips, you will have the romatic beach vacation of your life
