No AC, no alternative.

Free parking and convenient location. The positivity stops there. I spent 4 nights here and upon arrival noticed the air conditioner didnt work. I asked reception and they said somebody would come look at it. Nobody came until late on the next day and did nothing. I received an email to say a new air conditioner would be installed on the final night of my stay. I was never offered to move rooms and was essentially made to "deal" with no air conditioning on a week of 30 degree days and 90+ % humidity. Will not be returning.

There was a lot of dust in our room upon checkin. Check-in was hard to get instructions for; thankfully my plane was delayed and our instructions were eventually sent to us after a friendly reminder. The photos we booked for were not the sight we got given upon payment The location was very convenient for walking distance to public transport and walking distance for attraction sites close by

I stayed for 4 nights with my two school-aged boys. The room was absolutely phenomenal, even more beautiful than expected! Just a short stroll to the beach which is perfect & just 2 minutes walk to trams & buses. The pools were very clean & the spa was sooooo nice & relaxing! Also the best sauna I've come across! The only suggestion would be a little playground or kids club for the tiny humans, & a cafe` or bar for the grown ups! Thanks you Ipanema Holiday Resort, we missed you the moment we said goodbye! See you again xoxo

this was a really good place to stay, the only thing i would give feedback on was the rooms smelt like cleaning products but it made it smell like an old persons smell, like an old musty motel. That was the difference from getting 5 stars, other than that it was great

I stayed in a one bedroom studio for two weeks. The stove was dirty. The heater on the blink (it got fixed on my third last night - thanks very much) and I got barely any assistance from the office staff. I called well before my holiday seeking a quiet room and was assured this would happen. But on arrival, I was given a room facing the main road. It was noisy al day and all night. I liked the area but if I ever return, I will chose a nicer place.

The place is a 7. The room was not clean enough, the balcony was full of water even when was not raining the day before, no towel at arrival time, the kitchen and the utilities were not clean enough meaning the housekeeping was not done before our arriving. The best part is the balcony and the big shower.
