I found my stay at Serena Buzios to be a mix of positives and negatives. The heated swimming pool in a pleasant garden setting was good, yet the room I occupied felt a bit cramped and the decor was showing its age. The proximity to Geriba beach was fantastic, but getting to town required a taxi each time, which was a bit of a hassle.
