Lovely boutique hotel in Ipanema
We loved this beautifully designed and comfortable hotel-- it is rare in Copacabana and Ipanema, since it is right on the beach, rather than across a busy street, as most of the other local hotels are. I would recommend an ocean view room-- from what I could tell some of the rooms are smaller and there is nothing nicer than waking up to the sound of waves. We ate most of our meals here-- delicious, and breakfast is generous and cooked to order. Wonderful beach with umbrellas and chairs, though the rooftop pool is small, not for swimming.

Staff was great
Restaurant service a little slow.
It seems kitchen staff is not very well organized.
Waiters and staff (specially in leisure business) should put an effort to learn a little english to comunicante better with guests.
Some areas of the Hotel seem a little deteriorated. Which makes it look unmaintained.
Special mention to Marcus who was VERY HELPFUL with us.
Overall we had a good experience.
Thank you all at Arporador!! :)

Incredible location. This beautifully designed boutique hotel was just perfect in every way… make sure you book the ocean view room and enjoy the nights music, ocean waves whilst relaxing in the hammock. The team went out of their way to make you feel welcomed. Or simply enjoy watching the sunset on the rooftop… incredible stay.. thankyou

Although a great location for access to Ipanema beaches, the hotel appeared run down, provided no amenities you'd expect given the hotel cost. Noisy at night and not a comfortable stay.
