SHERATON BARRA HOTEL RIO DE JANEIRO: Poor overall with a fab beach opposite

…y in Brazil. The staff are also disinterested, off hand and lack the usual Brazilian warmth. This is true across all departments, including most of reception. I am used to friendly, welcoming and up-beat people in Brazil. This seems to have been sucked out of the staff here. They also are awful with details and bookings.
