We had a great time staying in this luxurious penthouse that is very close to Ipanema beach. We were out-and-about most of the day, so we didn't make the most use of the [free] maid service or the comfortable patio. However, each of us (3) enjoyed going back to shower in our seperate bathrooms and sleep in our super-comfortable beds. Waking up to the hot breakfast and fresh juice (served by the maid) truly made this a 7-star experience. Never going back to booking hotel rooms. This Ipanema Penthouse is highly recommended!
