Overall, we were pleased with our stay at Hotel Fasano. Since everyone we spoke with said this hotel was the best in Rio, hands down, I think we were expecting to be blown away. Pros: Staff *****, Service, Location, View from the Pool area, Room was nice and clean. They accommodated an early check-in and late check-out which was greatly appreciated because we were there for a wedding and were coordinating with other guests staying in other hotels. Cons: We arrived on cold and raining day and decided to do the Bossa Nova Spa Ritual and Facial for two people. My therapist was awesome. However, my partner's therapist was not (it was like they were afraid to make contact). We attributed it to possibly being new and inexperienced. Since it was cold and raining, we wanted to have a cocktail and the only option is the pool, which normally would have been fine. Apparently, after 2020, they didn't reopen their bar/lounge area. We figured we would have an early dinner (6pm), but the restaurant (Gero) does not open until 7pm. Last, we found the little mirror directly on the ceiling on top of the bedto be a little creepy (note: there's also one in the shower). They are not much bigger than the recess lighting and look out of place (not artistic just weird).
