Be sure to book well in advance if you plan to visit Búzios on a weekend between Christmas and Carnival. You'll find good accommodation options in the center of town—handy for nightlife, shopping, and organized tours—but there's no real beach there. For beachfront lodgings, you'll have to head a little out of town.
Small but welcoming, this intimate guesthouse close to Geribá Beach provides clean, budget-friendly accommodations. All rooms have simple, contemporary furnishings—some of the private rooms have a terrace with a hammock—and the outdoor communal area with sun loungers is a pleasant place to relax with a book after a day at the beach.
