Pros: The hotel and its stuff was very nice, the view from the balcony was amazing, the nearest beach very clean and beautiful, good restaurants near, very quiet place

Cons: It is expensive.

Pros: Excellent

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Everything!

Cons: It seems they sell day passes for the rooftop pool - so the crow up there was a bit questionable.

Pros: Swimming pool

Pros: the hotel is super expensive for what it provides. the room is average, breakfast below average for the price u pay.

Pros: This is a wonderful hotel, luxury one, really fancy and well located. The poll bar is amazing and the view from the pool as well!! Staff is really really nice! We loved it!!!

Cons: nothing

Pros: The hotel's location in Rio de Janiero is great, which was a relief as the concierge offered to send an armoured car for our transfer from the airport (no kidding !). Great spot for Ipanema Beach, the Fort, the Sunday Hippy Market, restaurants and shopping and walking distance to the lagoon and Copacabana. On the Sunday morning of our stay the roads along Ipanema and Copacabana beaches were closed to traffic, and we join a great crowd of runners and cyclists getting some exercise in the sun. The design aesthetic throughout is quite pleasing. The rooftop pool is lovely, though overrun with Instagrammers (ok - that's like the free entertainment) and aspiring high-rollers trying to get noticed. The gym was spectacularly well equipped, and the concierge team were helpful when I asked for advice on booking an excursion across the city.

Cons: My wife and I were initially given a first floor room that had a nasty smell, a noisy AC unit, and bedsheets that were damp. Welcome to the Leading Hotels of the World (Not !). We spoke to 4 members of staff, who all confirmed the problem, yet still waited over an hour before being offered another room on the same floor, and a complimentary treatment in the spa (which we were were later charged for). Our sleep was disturbed by noise from the beach and the road outside during every night of our stay. It transpires (having spoken with one of the customer service managers) that all of the rooms on the 1st and 2nd floors are blighted in this way. I really object to paying as much as the Fasano charge, and not getting a decent night's sleep. There are so many members of staff working in this hotel, you might imagine it should make for great customer experience. But the staff in reception pass the buck; the maid wouldn't let us enter our room one afternoon (we went to the rooftop bar to wait till she released our room and our stuff); and the army of waiting staff around the rooftop bar and pool have a tendency to ignore mere mortals and focus their attention on wealthier customers. You can tip and tip again, you can pay the exhorbitant additional charge for breakfast, and you can smile and pass the time with the many members of staff who will enquire about your day. But you may well find yourself paying five star money for a much poorer service.

Pros: Comfortable room. Well situated.

Cons: Dark. Snobby staff. Expensive. Breakfast not included.

Pros: Rooftop pool and bar were spectacular! Above and beyond service-- you feel like you have your own personal assistant

Pros: Bed was quite nice :) This was my first trip there from Japan with more than a day flight, but bed could release my tiredness anyway. All the staff were also kindhearted and very welcomed us. It was really nice. Obligado.

Pros: good

Cons: nothing

Pros: Hotel staff went out of their way for me. They gave me a free upgrade to a beachfront room and allowed me a late checkout to accommodate my evening flight back to the US. Wifi excellent. Buffet breakfast was outstanding.

Cons: They need more vegetarian offerings on their menu.

Pros: The location was amazing. The room was very clean. and the bed was comfortable. The quality of shampoos and body lotions and the toilet paper was good.

Cons: I stayed at this hotel for two nights from 20 to 22 September. The reception staff (and I would say the hotel management) are the problem! Based on my experience, they take the damned for their rooms granted, and as such they seem not to care much about the guests! When I checked in my room which was with "partial ocean view" (room 406), I became disappointed by the view. I went back to the reception and I paid 144 € more to upgrade my room to a full ocean view. The new upgraded room (403) was located in the fourth floor but the reception promised to provide me a room in a higher floor the day after. Sadly, the room 406 had running water problem (which was very noisy) in the bathroom (well, this can happen to any room and I understand). Then they offered me my very previous room (406) as the alternative, telling me that the rooms are fully booked (which cannot be true; hotels always keep some rooms -from different types- free as emergency backup)!! Yes, they wanted me to go to my previous room while I had already paid an extra 144 € to upgrade my room (that was ridiculous)! I felt they count on stupidity of guests!! When I sad NO, then they called me in one minute saying "you are lucky, we found a better room for you"! (oh my God, you did the magic in one minute? the rooms were fully booked for that day a minute ago!). But the new room was located in the third floor, which was one more floor down (remember they had promised me a higher floor room for the day after. They again promised a room in higher level floor for the day after. On Saturday, I checked with them and they basically said "sorry, no room is available"!! I paid a total of more than 563 € for two nights and my expectations were not realized. one more funny thing; my birthday was on 22nd of September. The reception (at the check in time) told me that they have a cake and a surprise for the guests who spend their birthdays in their hotel.

Pros: Unbelievable breakfast and launch choices, wow, they do crazy good Job there for sure! Good location on the copacobana, in general very good service.

Pros: It was mine and my other half's first time in brazil and your hotel by far was the best I stayed in, the service was outstanding. The lady at reception Dani Montezuma made our stay even more memorable. Her welcoming smile from day one and consistent positive energy was infectious, she took the time out to provide recommendations from where to eat, what to eat and where to drink and value for money; really taking the time and effort to make customers feel special. Her customer service is unmatched, I definitely will be making a return visit to see her as well as visit the country again loved every minute.

Very reasonable airport shuttle.Whilst I was saying good bye to Reception a porter had already put my bags inside the van! Remarkable, so kind.

Cons: On one occasion one set of reception staff weren't that friendly when asking information. Weren't over keen to help. Maybe having a bad day. Exceptional kind & helpful the rest of the stay. Having to leave!!
