Alexanders place is definitively a top location: Many restaurants very close by foot, it offers a wonderful view of Copacabana just from balcony, it is just 100 meters away from the beach. Beyond that the facility has a nice and heated swimming pool, whirlpool, sauna, gym and the co-workers are very friendly and helpful. I spent almost two weeks with my whole family (2 adults and 3 kids) there and we had a great time. Nevertherless it needs some reformation to make it a real luxurious place.
