"Top class hotel on Copacabana beach. Huge bed with a nice room. Great location. Free beach chairs with umbrellas available to hotel guests. Great rooftop bar with a pool. I rate Copacabana beach more highly than the close by Ipanema ( a short walk away or even shorter e-scooter ride). Both beautiful but Copacabana has better beach bars!"
