We have just returned from the Ipenema park and can't say enough great things about our stay. When we arrived we were told that the half board base we had booked was only available with a very limited menu. However the hotel staff suggested that we could eat at the sister... more

For the money paid and the 2 star rating these apartments provide good accommodation. I and my boyfriend went and the room was spacious and had a separate floor for the bedroom and bathroom. There is only one pool so I recommend getting up early and there are a lot of... more

Not long back from Ipanema Park. Cannot fault accommodation in any one way. The rooms were very clean, excellent cleaning done five days per week. Lovely staff all-round. Only downfall for me was the lack of entertainment at night. Other than that, an excellent place... more

Not As it Appears in the Brochure
My boyfriend and I booked these apartments as after looking through some websites we thought that these apartments looked the best for our smaller budget. On arrival the reception staff were friendly however we were slightly concerned that the apartments seemed to be a considerable distance from the main centre of Puerto Rico. Our apartment consisted of an upstairs and downstairs, basic but clean. We arrived in the early hours of the morning yet the room was very warm, much warmer than outside. Air conditioning we were told would cost us an extra 60 euros which we could not afford. We were also disappointed to see that our 'garden terrace view' was actually a huge tree planked in front of the balcony. One of the biggest problems we encountered that there was hardly enough sunbeds to go around and nowehere near enough umbrellas. The umbrellas were snatched up very early in the morning and on the one morning that we did manage to get one someone took it away while we were at breakfast. The pool is fairly big but not big enough for the large amount of people staying in the apartments which meant it was hard to swim without constantly banging into people. Another thing which is not made clear in the apartments description is that in order to get down onto the main road which takes you to the main centre, you have to walk down over 200 steps and through a dark tunnel. After a couple of days this becomes very wearing and does not feel completely safe. Would definatley not recommend this to people with mobility problems or those with athsma. The Ipanema Park Apartments have some great views if you are placed in a certain room and the staff are friendly and efficient. However would not recommend staying here if you wish to explore the night life as the apartments are situated too far out. The room prices may seem reasonable however they arent really when you add on 60 euros for air con (and you will need it). Overall feel that the apartments were falsely advertised and very disappointing.
very nice part of puetro rico
We came to these appartments last july, The apartments were small with no sofa as it was the double bed in sitting room, But the pool was lovely and the views were really great, looking over the Marina. Only problem was we had to get taxis 2 and back to the center which even though were cheap i feel staying a bit closer to main center might be better, these appartments had lots of steps 2, Im coming back to puetro rico this july and we have picked appartments Niza , as there very close to the center. Overall there ok and were clean
Nice medelclass.
Average hotel. Some of the balconies were to close to a main road. You woke up 7 o clock in the morning by passing traffic. I talked to the staff in the reception about this and one of them were very rude when I said I wanted to change apartment. The other younger man who works afternoons were really helpful and arranged for us to change apartment the next day. They have real problems with ants so make sure you have a good ant spray. Overall the staff was really helpful and service minded. Always said hello when you passed them. Nice clean apartments, they even made the dishes 6 times per week. The pool area was okay. Real expensive pool bar though. 5 euros for two ice creams. The pool itself was a bit small for the number of people staying at the hotel. Overall a okay hotel with a nice view from the balcony. Wouldn't mind staying there again. Puerto Rico as an area itself were a bit boring for us younger people. Otherwise a lovely beach and walking distance to playa Amadores.
nice to be back again
We had been looking forward to our return stay at the Ipanema and we were not disappointed. We arrived at 2310 and were welcomed by an extremely pleasant and accommodating receptionist. I have a slight mobility problem and, having realised this, we were offered the choice of 3 vacant apartments. We chose 200B one floor up from the pool area and next door to the small supermarket, the lift was opposite the shop so easy access to all parts of the apartments. Our apartment was not as clean as we had expected, having arrived on Thursday evening we were not amused that clean towels had not been provided by Sunday evening. A request to a male member of staff was rejected,somewhat rudely, and did not bode well for the rest of the stay. This was the only complaint I had about the staff, Tuesday morning brought the arrival of Maria who was to take care of our needs for the remainder of our stay. I cannot praise her too highly, anything we needed was immediately provided, the cleaning was excellent, she was the most smiley person imaginable and she made us very satisfied. The two bar staff greeted us daily and our drinks were on the table before we sat down. We did not eat here, the promised restaurant was not available, presumably because of the lack of visitors. We did, however eat in the restaurants at the bottom of the steps, El Cenador in particular being well worth the visits. As usual, taxis were plentiful and reasonable, reception staff always willing to call for a taxi to collect us, and full of laughter to receive a lollipop as a token 'Thank you'. I love the Ipanema and am very glad that our visits can be made outside the high holiday season. We hope to return in the near future.
Great place with fab views
Booked this through Budget Travel and was not disappointed. The views of the marina were fantasic, well worth the 169 steps. The complex was nicely laid out - makes a change from tower block hotel complexes. Also it was nice and quiet at night. Apartment was cleaned almost every day, and towels and linen changed at least every second day. Staff all seemed very nice. No aircon, which was a bit of a minus as there was a heat wave when we arrived, but you could hire a unit locally. Generally not a problem though, as night time temps are usually around 22-24 degrees C. Pool was not very big - more just to cool down in, but you are quite close to the beach if you really want to swim. Didn't eat at the pool bar so can't rate it, but there are plenty of fab resturants close by, especially near the Netto supermarket.
Basic but clean and decent location
The apartments were basic, but clean, no aircon though, and the rooms get pretty hot at night. The pool area was average, small bar. Didnt eat at the hotel so cant rate the food. Cleaners did a decent job every day, and the staff were mostly friendly and helpful. The 160 or so steps up to the hotel are a bit of a pain in the (--), but grand to walk down, and a cab up is only 2 or 3 euro. Fine place for a week as a cheap and cheerful holiday, probably would lose your mind hanging around a second week though.
loved our stay
we stayed at this property in sep 06, and we really enjoyed the experience. The views were spectacular, the rooms were clean , and they were cleaned 7/8 days we stayed, towels changed 7/8 days.The complex is really relaxing, you are only a short taxi ride away from the nightlife, which only costs 3 euros.food was good, music was good.The thing that really impressed us was when we arrived ther was a bottle of wine and fruit waitng for us in our room, a really nice touch i thought, we are def going back, probs the new year, i hope!!!!
Ipanema Park Puerto Rico
We arrived not knowing what to expect, having seen some very mixed reviews of these apartments. My impression of the apartments from the begining to the end of the holiday was fantastic. My boyfiend and I (27 & 25) really enjoyed our stay. The aparment comprised of two levels, downstairs : tv, phone, table and chairs, sofa bed(comfy!) and good cooking resources. We also had a spacious balcony with spectacular views of the marina. We were on block D, but as far as I know all apartments have views, the lower block A faces the pool area. Upstairs in our apartment we had lots of storage space, a mini safe, E14.25 to rent, and a bathroom. The shower was great, not like most! The only thing the apartment lacked was air conditoning, every day we had the windows open but obviously closed them on leaving the apartment. It was about 21-22 degrees at night so it wasn't unbearable. Staff at Ipanema Park are really helpful and friendly and do their best to make your stay pleasant. That includes reception and pool bar staff. The pool area was lovely, again it had great views of the marina. It didn't get too busy so there was always somewhere to lounge and enjoy the sun. We had no problem with cockroackes but we did experience a small promblem with ants. It was very hot so what else would you expect. Taxi's are about E3 to the commercial centre and beach, or you could walk the 169 steps down, up to you! Hope this review helps anyone staying there soon.
Not Family Friendly !
Please do not be fooled by Budget Travel into believing this to be " family friendly " accomodation, really disappointed with kiddies club. Honestly my 7 year old was allowed home from crazy golf 1.5 hours before the club was over, with another 7 year old , up 60 odd steps unsupervised ! ! The animator was terrible, and did very little to entertain the children, in the small room provided. The childrens diso never took off, as she sat looking bored on a bar stool. The bar staff looked like the were serving a prision sentence, and with only one on at a time, were always under pressure as they tended bar, and served food also. We had a lovely elderly lady from a retirement home doing karoke songs Tues, Wed and Thus, nights, every other night the bar shut at 6 pm. The appartments were occupied by nearly all Irish visitors, all with families, and numerous complaints were made to a noding rep, whos only interest was in selling various trips, and nights out , and very little else. Otherwise the appartment were adequate, and clean. I would also recomend the Medival Night out, a great family night, but don't go on the Aquariam Cat with children, even on the day trip, totally disappointing, don't lisiten to the rep. We ate out every night, and we were never disappointed, the children really enjoyed the chinese restaurants in particular. One tip if you are flying with Futura Airlines as we did, no food or drink is provided, on a 4 hour flight ! But they will sell you a sandwich !
a great escape
the holiday overall was a great relaxful and emjoyable holiday.... the catering was great and the views are spectacular....... the mini bar is open 247 and the food is great but the entertsinment can sometimes be a bit dull for the younger ones as they might no no hu cher was!!!!!!!!! if your thinking of booking do so it is a geat deaol and on top of a hill to get a superb tan for back home bye xx
