Municipal Natural Park of Cachoeira da Fumaça and Jacuba Tours and Activities

I stayed at Ipanema Inn for a few nights during a solo trip to Rio and would stay again if I’m back. From check-in to assisting with booking any tours/tickets/dinner reservations Fred at the front desk was always so helpful and greeted me by name every time he was there. Fred made it so easy to plan my adventures, helped with suggestions anytime I needed, was very responsive on WhatsApp when I was out exploring Rio, and spoke great English which helped my lack of Portuguese. The rest of the staff was also great and friendly. The hotel restaurant is nicely decorated and had a delicious and varied breakfast that looked much betterhan what some other hotels in the area offered. I had the filet for dinner at the hotel one night that was perfectly cooked and the fruit tartar desert was delicious. The hotel is centrally located in Ipanema and was a quick walk to nearby restaurants, bars, beach, Arpoador/Leblon were a short ~15 min walk away, and so easy to get an Uber for anywhere else in Rio. I felt very safe walking around the hotel area alone even at night. Being able to grab a beach towel from the front desk and walk straight down the street to the beach chair/umbrella stand (included if you tell them your staying at the inn) made it so easy to enjoy a perfect beach day (although there are also some nicer looking beach clubs a short walk either direction on the beach that I’d check out too). Thanks Ipanema Inn (and Fred) for making my stay in Rio great!

An amazing property! The staff is extremely helpful and friendly! The check-in process was fast and uncomplicated. The room was very nice! The bed was comfortable, I slept like a baby. The rooms are clean with plenty of towels. The shower is hot. My one and only complaint is a small one. The electrical outlets only works when the room key is in the slot. I didn't realize this at first, so I left my phone to charge while I went to get breakfast, only to come back an hour later with a still almost dead phone. Not a huge deal, just keep that in mind. I did discover the bathroom outlets work regardless of the key. Other than that small little detail, everything else was perfect. The view from the rooftop pool is incredible! I highly recommend staying there. You are just minutes away from everything. The neighborhood is lively and walkable. I felt perfectly safe walking around even at night. Plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants nearby. I'll be sure to stay there again on my next visit to Copacabana.
