Hellix Flat Itaboraí

Built along Avenida 22 de Maio in Rio Bonito, a mid-sized city in Rio de Janeiro state roughly 80km northeast of the capital, Hellix Flat Itaboraí draws a 9.3 rating from 65 guests — strong for an unstarred property competing against branded options on the BR-101 corridor.

Each unit comes with a balcony, flat-screen TV, refrigerator, and private bathroom with shower and hairdryer. A swimming pool and on-site parking address two practical priorities for road-trip and family traffic passing through the Região dos Lagos gateway.

Rio Bonito sits closer to the lake district beaches of Araruama and Saquarema than most visitors expect — under 40 minutes by car. The 24-hour front desk suits late arrivals on the overnight bus from Rio de Janeiro's Rodoviária Novo Rio.
