RIO question

My wife and I snagged a great MR to GIG and we're making 5 days out of it before heading to IGU for 2 days.

I can book a 5 night SPG award at the Sheraton but am worried about the location as wellas its beach/water quality. Ive been to Rio twice and know that its off the beaten pathn but also know its closer to Leblon and Ipanema, which is where we'll want t hang out. My wife will be about 5-6 months pregnant so we wont be partying hard, just nice dinners, some sightseeing and chilling at beach etc. Is the Sheraton still worth it? Wife and I are not super keen on apartments and would prefer to use pts as opposed to thousands of bucks on a "meh" hotel.
