Like everyone else on FT, I'd love to burn my SPG/Hyatt/Hilton points, but I'll burn some at Iguazu.

So for the tail end of our trip, I'd like to stay somewhere in Ipanema that's pretty nice.

Can anyone give me some recs? Is Fasano decent, if I'm willing to reach even further into my pocket?
I'm sure the Fasano is a fine hotel, however, its location is not the best - the undesirable crowd likes to congregate on the beach nearby.

If you want to stay in Ipanema, the Caesar Park is probably the best bet (the rooftop Galani restaurant is very good).
