Summary of reviews related to the '5 Star' categoryThe overall sentiment from guest reviews regarding HF Ipanema Park's five-star rating paints a somewhat mixed picture. While the hotel is described as aesthetically pleasing with a modern and tasteful look, many guests feel it does not live up to the expectations of a true five-star establishment. Positive remarks highlight the very friendly staff and clean facilities, which do align with five-star services to some degree. Additionally, the spacious, quiet rooms and a very complete breakfast buffet are appreciated by some visitors.

However, numerous reviews express disappointment in various aspects of the hotel. Common complaints include the outdated furniture, subpar soundproofing and limited amenities that fail to meet five-star standards, such as the lack of sauna, hammam and adequate loungers by the pool. Criticisms extend to the breakfast, which some describe as below average, lacking variety and falling short of five-star quality. There were also mentions of certain unexpected charges and the overall feeling that the hotel is overpriced for the level of luxury provided.

The general consensus appears to point towards a hotel that, despite having some qualities of a five-star rating, falls short in delivering a consistent five-star experience across the board. Guests frequently compare it to a three or four-star hotel, noting that while it has the potential and some of the amenities of a luxury hotel, it fails to fully realize these standards in practice.
