Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
We knew when we walked into the hotel we made a mistake. Small- lobby is big enough for 2 people in line which is the same path to the restaurant, worse off is the path to the beach, which is a little gross when you’re eating. The 2 elevators fit 3 people, hallways to the rooms are narrow. the room which consists of 2 nightstands, one with a child size chair, bed and wall mounted tv. We upgraded to an oceanfront balcony room for a 7 day stay,($3400 usd) to enjoy coffee, cocktails and meals. No furniture at all except a hanging hammock. No place to sit and eat in the room except the bed. Noise- ridiculous level of noise throughout the entire stay- cobbled stone road beneath the balconies. Motorcycles, carts, and anything else just rumbled, as well as party goers. One night laying awake like we had every night- we looked at each other and just laughed about the noise-, who would have thought. Food- hit or miss very inconsistent Front desk/associates mixed reviews on helpfulness/attitude Recommendations- we originally were going to stay at the Fairmont at Copacabana Beach, but got hooked by a “pricing special by Arpoador. Stay at one of the 30-ish great hotels at Copa and walk to Ipanema. We tried to share our feedback with the Mgr speaking with 6 associates at the front desk over our stay- He never got back to us. I’ve traveled to 2 destinations every year for 20 years & have never written a bad review and now you know

Lovely boutique hotel in Ipanema
We loved this beautifully designed and comfortable hotel-- it is rare in Copacabana and Ipanema, since it is right on the beach, rather than across a busy street, as most of the other local hotels are. I would recommend an ocean view room-- from what I could tell some of the rooms are smaller and there is nothing nicer than waking up to the sound of waves. We ate most of our meals here-- delicious, and breakfast is generous and cooked to order. Wonderful beach with umbrellas and chairs, though the rooftop pool is small, not for swimming.

Staff was great Restaurant service a little slow. It seems kitchen staff is not very well organized. Waiters and staff (specially in leisure business) should put an effort to learn a little english to comunicante better with guests. Some areas of the Hotel seem a little deteriorated. Which makes it look unmaintained. Special mention to Marcus who was VERY HELPFUL with us. Overall we had a good experience. Thank you all at Arporador!! :)
