Ponta Negra Beach Tours and Activities

I arrived early, they didn’t allow early check in but did give option to leave bags so I could tour the area. Good and safe area, no issues with people sleeping on the streets in the area. The room was underwhelming for a 4 star hotel, obvious signs of age. The need to leave card key in the slot by the door to power the room, meaning you can charge your devices while you are out. I had good service experience from the staff though. The room was constantly noisy, thin walls if you know you know. The outside, like street noisy was surprisingly minimal. I agree with a lot of other reviews, the breakfast did carry a vast variety of options (egg, the good thick bacon, plenty of fruits, breads). Overall a 6/10. Staff, the breakfast, location/safety was excellent…everything else was lacking. Top issues would be the dated room and noise.

Anna Suites are apartments managed by the neighboring Arena Ipanema hotel. The breakfast buffet is at the hotel next door as is the rooftop bar and pool. The suites are spacious and ideal for a couple or anyone who would appreciate a little more room. The beds are comfortable, my room was quiet and always kept clean. You do need to provide your own personal items. The soap they provide is tiny. There is a kitchenette which is good for heating up leftovers or storing, cold drinks. It’s located on a busy street that connects the Ipanema Beach to Copacabana beach. There are a lot of food options nearby and it’s a short taxi ride to Botafogo or Leblon.

Great place staff is very friendly amazing food, beautiful views, I would highly recommend this place and I can’t wait to go back!
