Very spacious 2BR 2 bath apartment, with full kitchen, dining room, living room and all the amenities. Best option for a family.

Location is perfect- one of Rio's nicest (and safest) neighborhoods, 1 block from the
beach.

Staff helpful and speaks good English.

I stayed at Ipamena Tower with my husband, on business for approximately 6 months. We found the staff excellent, friendly and helpful. We would certainly recommend the accommodation. It is close to the shops, restaurants and beaches.

Location can't be beat in Ipanema, one block away from the beach (almost just behind the Cesear Park Hotel). Lots of shops and restaurants within easy walking distance.
As for the apartments my reviews are mixed. Really enjoyed the spacious balcony every night. The bedrooms, living room and dining room were in good condition, comfortable and a safe at no charge in one of the bedrooms was nice to have. The kitchen was very small and did not offer too many utensils, the ones they did have were quite old. If you want to do your own cooking and not eat out a lot this is not the kitchen for you. If you just want to stock the fridge with drinks, snacks, left overs it suits fine. Both bathrooms were in need of repairs- toilet flooded twice, bathroom doors rotting at the bottom in both bathrooms and floors need replaced.
Always felt safe in and around hotel and breakfast buffet (included in rate) was fine, would like to have seen more variation in food but it was kept clean and well staffed. There is a computer for guest use, it's not free but only a small charge each 30 minutes. Pool area small (like all others in the area) but kept up well. There is also a sauna and small work out room. On site salon was a nice touch. Would have liked to have seen the front desk offer more brochures for tours and excursions, there are a few but not many to pick from. (Ended up going to the Cesear Park for advice, tours etc, they have much more to offer in that area and it takes about 3 min walk).
Used rio shuttle service to and from airport for R 10 per person- and recommend it. [--]
The BEST seafood meal all week was at MARIUS in Copacabana. You choose to eat on the meat or seafood side. Highly recommended. marius.com.br
Two places for casual dining near the residence I recommend Itahy restaurante for pizza and Garota de Ipanema for sandwiches, salads, pasta, meats, etc.
Overall a good value for what you pay.

Fantastic! Such a great hotel/apartment.
Please note, this review is for their entry level apartments, there are two further levels of apartments above this (naturally more expensive).
Our apartment was generously spacious, well presented and all round excellent value for money (£40 per night approx.). Also has a swimming pool, sauna, gym & a restaurant downstairs.
The staff were very helpful and spoke english, gave sound advice and even arranged for a memorable trip to the Christ Statue which will live in the minds eye forever - I reccommend this, the best £15 I have ever spent in my life. And probably ever will.
Absolutely fantastic location, 1 block away from Ipanema Beachfront (2 min walk). Huge numbers of trendy bars/cafes/restaurants and lots of shops to buy your essentials from.
Its in the heart of Ipanema and the place is bustling with the energy and vibrance you would expect from Rio, more importantly, you will feel safe in this area as there are no street merchants, the area is well looked after with no riff-raff whatsoever.
Will definately go back, can't wait to book this place again!
