Room with direct ocean view. Room had top-end appointments

They charge for ice.

Very well located, super clean, comfortable bed and friendly staff.

Fasano charges a 5 star price, however; the hotel offers 3 star service. Internet connection is weak, lifts are quite slow and dark, definitely dated lifts. Lack of information at the checking in, they didn’t say about the beach services and rooftop closing time. It ridiculous the hotel charges high prices and breakfast isn’t included. On my arrival I asked for a table at the restaurant and they said the table was available when we got there for dinner for some reason the table wasn’t available anymore. The receptionist said it was a waiting list. They should told us at the first place they were not tables available for that night.

The location was great, right in front of Ipanema beach: the ocean view from the room was breathtaking. The pool area on the rooftop was also very beautiful, with good food, service, and friendly people working there. If you want to go for a trip or sightseeing you have people in the reception that will help you with the best tips, we booked a helicopter tour through the hotel which I highly recommend. Overall a good stay, an absolutely beautiful location, a big room, comfortable bed, very clean room, and some very kind people working there with the best service you could possibly ask for.

Smaller hotel than I expected. Very simple breakfast for the money. Also, the people working there were rude, like they didn't want people to eat there, especially one woman in the reception. Didn't come back after that, you can eat a better breakfast with a more welcoming vibe close by. Furthermore, the gym was very small so do not expect a lot of equipment. Also, a bit of a lack of information about the hotel when checking in, we asked them to show us around and tell us more about the place, but they didn't tell us about the spa or about the beach service, so a few days passed by without knowing about this. Worth the money? To be honest, no, you pay for the oceanfront view mainly, more things should be included for it to be worth it.

The access to the beach and the pool views. They front desk did their best to be helpful, everyone was very nice and made you feel special. The weight room was great.

The night stands are small (just wood stumps - looks good but impractical). Small room, not a good view. We requested room together with our kids but they originally put us on different floors and you can' access other floors with the elevator. We requested a change and they moved us to the same floor.

Great location, view from the pool deck. friendly staff. comfortable bed.. well appointed room.. lobby Christmas decoration. housekeeping and room service efficient.

Room looked onto an almost derelict building. Though beach view rooms good views. hotel bar shut at midnight.

We were in room 410 nothing really exciting. Its the most expensive hotel round but the location is excellent. The bed was very comfortable and the black out curtains were great. The pool staff is the best. Jeferson, Wagner, Antonio,Macedo and Lercon the Manager.

We didnt like the breakfast as it was very expensive for what you get. They try and run a 5 star hotel and the staff can be a bit stuffy. We wound up walking to a breakfast place called Gringo Cafe. One of the best breakfast I have ever had.

location was fabulous, felt safe and the views were exceptional

Check-in was not particularly welcoming (polar opposite to the hotel we had just come from). we were early but in spite of one of our rooms being ready, staff were not happy to let us use it and we ended up only being given access at 4.00 pm (one hour later than it should have been, worst case scenario). Concierge Manager and the roof top bar staff made up made up for what was lacking upon arrival and were extremely friendly and efficient.

This was the 3rd hotel we stayed in during our visit to Rio. Everything was amazing. Roof pool was even better than expected and was only busy one time while we were there (and even then only about half the loungers were occupied). Location is perfect. Room was spacious and exactly what we wanted. Very cool design and room felt really private. It is expensive but it’s justified, we found it well worth the money. The room service breakfast was a highlight.

The WiFi kicked me out every day which was annoying as we were told that wouldn’t happen. Language barrier while on the roof bar made it difficult to solve one slight issue. Also found the restaurant (Gero) very overpriced (£90GBP / $120USD for cheese pasta, mushroom risotto, and 2 soft drinks).

The swimming pool was amazing

I was expecting Gero to be very good (i already knew Gero from Sao Paulo) and it was a little bit under my expectations The service from the hotel at the beach in front ended at 5pm what i think is too early, 6pm or after sunset would be nice

I spend most of my time in hotels and I surely can say Fasano Rio is an extraordinary one - the details of the interiors, the level of the staff, the coziness of the pool, the convenience of the location - some venues are overrated, this is not one of them

The gym is extremely small, breakfast as well was kinda limited
