Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Arraial do Cabo is beautiful.
Safe and very well looked after city.
I took Uber and taxi and everyone was very polite and helpful.
Sellers on the beaches approach you politely and calmly.
You can leave belongings on the sand while diving and no one disturbs you.
I recommend paying for parking in closed spaces such as lots.
On the street, people charge the same price for land and after the street fills up they disappear and don't watch the car.
As soon as possible, I will definitely return to Arraial do Cabo.

Arraial do Cabo is great. I made our annual visit to the City. I highlight Prainha as an excellent beach and Pontal do Atalaia beach, which requires a short walk along the stairs to the beach. Another cool spot to visit is the Navy museum at Praia dos Anjos, where you can use 3D glasses to visit the bottom of the sea. Abs

Prainha is beautiful and very busy, but it is not yet that beach worthy of being called "Brazilian Caribbean". The beaches that deserve this label are those of the boat tour (which does not include Prainha).
There are many tents that sell meals and rent beach equipment on the shore. I don't remember seeing any restaurant on the shore. In addition, the few restaurants that exist in the streets near the beach are expensive.
The surrounding region does not have adequate structure, they need to improve the city a lot. What scared me pretty much were the wires of the grid almost leaning on the ground.
The neighborhood where Prainha is located is clearly poor, unfortunately.

Unmissable beach for anyone visiting Arraial. White, fine sand. Clean beach. Crystal clear waters in shades of blue and green that mesmerize. Arraial is not the Brazilian Caribbean - the Caribbean is Arraial in Central America.

Little beach! It's quite windy and the water is very clean! Beach with strong waves! There are no restaurants on the waterfront, just trailers! But it's well worth seeing, the landscape exudes crystal clear water! We had lunch at a self-service restaurant in front of the market, where the service and food were excellent!

Beautiful beach, but the shore is very crowded. Full of trailers, some with a lot of dirt, which interferes with the view of the beach (which is wonderful). The Public Authorities forgot about this place a long time ago. I've been to other times and I've never seen it as abandoned as it is now. Unfortunate. It urgently needs a very good infrastructure, even for better comfort for those who work there. I only saw a chemical toilet one day. In short, it is far from being a Brazilian Caribbean. 😢😢

In this area near Rio, the problem with the beaches is that on the weekend or vacation the beaches are invaded by vacationers. With a lot of music and little space. Although this beach is populated. It has quieter areas where one can enjoy the sea and nature. It is true that there are more secluded beaches but their access is by trails, they are also very good options.

The beach is really cool, I just thought it was too close to people and that made it a bit disorganized because there was little space in the area. The water was cold but you get used to it quickly when you get into the sea, very good for taking a bath. I liked it and it is approved.

Beautiful beach with crystal clear and calm waters. But very crowded, sand with lots of rubbish and pigeons. People don't take care or collect the rubbish and with the overcrowding of the beach things get worse. The size of the beach does not accommodate so many people.

Tem sim, os vendedores ambulantes e os quiosques que oferecem guarda sol.

É claramente um ato criminoso muito grave, mas não tem a ver com o lugar em si, mas com gangues de criminosos que atuam em todo o país.
É um evento isolado e único...
Written 3 October 2020
498,
Houve opiniões de que era um local muito perigoso devido a uma notícia no início do ano em que ocorreu um ato criminoso, que foi um acontecimento isolado. Por isso disse que situações tão singulares não podem servir de único parâmetro para considerar que uma praia de Arraial é insegura.

Nos quiosques da Prainha é permitido levar minha cerveja?
Written 16 February 2020
Sendo cerveja em lata pode sim,desde que vc leve uma sacolinha pra recolher seu lixo depois. Caso vc consuma dos quiosques eles se encarregam da limpeza.
