Pousada Ilha da Fantasia & Passeio de Lancha incluso
Outdoor pool with an included boat tour
About this hotel
The pool here comes with an unusual extra: a boat tour is included in the stay, alongside on-site water sport facilities covering snorkelling, diving and fishing. That combination pulls the property away from a standard pool-and-breakfast inn toward something built around being on the water in multiple ways. The spa lounge and outdoor seating area give a slower counterpoint to the boat trip, and a kids' club covers family stays. Barra da Tijuca Beach is 2.1 kilometres away, with Jacarepaguá Airport 9 kilometres out and Rio de Janeiro Botanical Gardens 14 kilometres further, keeping the inn within easy reach of both the coast and a wider day-trip radius for guests renting a car locally.

Our take
This suits travellers wanting the pool paired with actual time on the water, given the included boat tour and on-site snorkelling and diving facilities rare at this scale. The kids' club extends it to families. Anyone wanting a quiet, low-key pool stay without add-on excursions should look toward a simpler property, since the boat tour is built into the experience here rather than optional.
- ✓Confirm the boat tour schedule at check-in, it runs on set days rather than on demand.
- ✓Book the kids' club a day ahead in high season, spots fill for family groups.
- ✓Bring your own snorkelling gear if particular about fit, rental sets are shared.

Why guests love itTravellers staying here find the included boat tour changes the character of the stay: the pool becomes one part of a broader water-focused visit rather than the single draw, backed by on-site snorkelling and diving. The kids' club makes it workable for families, and the spa lounge offers a slower day when the boat is not running. It suits travellers who want activity built into the stay rather than a purely poolside break.
