The Brazilian motel is not the same as a US motel…a cheesy, down-at-the-mouth hotel. Brazilian motels are designed for sex, not really for sleeping. If you're staying at a hotel that does not allow guests, if you prefer to be discrete, or if you just want a special night with a special garota, you might consider a trip to a motel.

The Brazilian motel is an institution in Brazil. Its existence reflects certain realities in the lives of most Brazilians: most live in crowded households, many share bedrooms with children or other roommates, and few have anything resembling privacy. Hence, motels: places where couples-married or not-can have a few hours of privacy for sex.

Because motels are intended for sex, they are designed for sex. Most have nice big beds with strategically placed mirrors. Many have whirlpools, most have TV with one or more porn channels. Upscale rooms have saunas, steambaths, swimming pools, waterfalls, and all sorts of electronic goodies (including internet connections in some cases, so you can download those pictures as soon as you take them!). Some have special "equipment," like chairs especially designed for sex play. Several have on-site sex shops where you can purchase toys and such.

The motels can be found all over Rio. Some of my favorites are Hotel Bambina and Panda Motel in Botafogo, and VIPs, Sinless (great name!), and Shalimar in Leblon (all a short cab ride from where you are likely to be staying. VIPs is the most expensive, but many of the nicer suites have fabulous ocean views and are equipped to the max (complete with big screen TVs, pools, waterfalls, sex chairs, etc.).

Rates at the motels vary considerably, as does the amount of time you get the room. Usually your fee covers the room for 12 hours, but some motels give you only 4-8 hours on Fri. and Sat. nights. The fee varies by the room amenities, so you'll pay more at VIPS for a room with a view and with all the toys than for a basic room with bed, mirrors, and a shower. Still, all the rooms are nice, and are likely much nicer for sex than your hotel room. Most motels offer breakfast in the morning.

It looks like vipsmotel is the best?how long time with taxi from rio roiss?Do you have to take a girl or two with you?or is it girls on the motel?It looks incredible,can you tell little bit more about it?and its only cost R200 for 8 hours.

NB-- Vips is in Leblon, which is about 10 to 15 min by taxi depending upon traffic. Just on the opposite side of Ipanema from Copacabana. You have to bring your own girl, but the facilities are outstanding as you can see.

Do you have to order room before you come? or can you just meet up?

Depends on what type of room you want. For standard suites you can usually just show up. If you want the best suites, call in advance. The places all get busier on Fridays and Saturdays.
