We arrived at the Ibis at about midday, thinking it would be too early to be checked in, however were given a room right away. When we got to our room it had not been cleaned after the last person checked out so they did this for us right away.
We didn´t use many of the hotels facilities, just the room really.
The staff were friendly, however, the checkin process took some time, but having stayed at a few hotels in Brazil now, I think this may be the norm.
The location was great, right opposite the beach and within walking distance to numerous restaurants and bars.
The rooms were fairly small, we were just there for one night and were visiting friends, so were not in the room much at all so was not really an issue, but probably not the best room option (we had the cheapest room, not sure if other room types are bigger) if you have an extended stay.
