Love Motels in Rio de Janeiro

Going to the so called love motels (motel in Portuguese) in Rio de Janeiro is not as seedy as many foreigners believe when they first hear about it. Actually it is many times the only place where young Brazilian couples can spend some quality time together; this because most Brazilians live at home until they get married. Therefor being invited to spending the night in one of those is not an insult.

A Break From the Dorms?
It is also a good option for the travelling couple who are getting tired of cramped dorms and small bathrooms. Most of the time prices are very reasonable compared to expensive hotels. They have communal swimming pools, jacuzzis, saunas and in the rooms you will find cable television and AC. From the room service menu you can order things like a Red Riding Hood dress or a whip! Some rooms have thematic furnishing.
