The pool was pristine, and even the bathrooms were sparkling. I came here for the Yelp event. We had the 21 and up pool reserved. I would definitely recommend choosing this pool if you don't have children. It was a very peaceful and fun atmosphere. Fun tip, locals get free cabanas Sunday through Friday. We opted for one of the couches near the pool that had an umbrella. It was close enough to where we could monitor our belongings and we still had shade. The bartenders were super friendly, and the drinks were delicious

This experience was definitely one of those "too good to be true" moments. I heard on Instagram…read morethat locals could snag cabanas for just $50. When I went online to book, I didn't see the option immediately, so I called customer service. They walked me through the process, and I secured a spot for the following Saturday (they book up fast, so be sure to plan in advance). I arrived right as the pool opened, and the first thing I noticed was that the 21+ area is separate from the family side--a huge plus! When the host walked me to my cabana, I was shocked to see it was one of the large, high-end ones that typically cost thousands. I was also able to snag a complimentary daybed, allowing me to alternate between sun and shade all day. The food and drinks were excellent and reasonably priced. It was the perfect solo self-care vibe. Honestly, it was so good that I plan on making it a monthly treat whenever the weather is warm. At $50, it is an absolute steal. I can't wait to go back!

The main pool is very crowded, so if you want a more relaxing experience a cabana is a must. The cabanas themselves are very spacious and have lots of seating, a fridge and misters.

The pool is nice and warm, not freezing cold so they definitely have the heater on which is great!…read moreThere's 2 different pool areas and we normally stay near the main one with fountain to lounge in. There's a separate jacuzzi in the middle of the pools if you need to get warm. I recommend getting to the pool early if you need to grab more than 1 chair as most people claim the chairs with towels. Definitely order some dole whip and drinks, it's so good on a hot day! My go-to: - Strawberry Pineapple Dole Whip - Mela Watermelon drink can

Everyone working there was super aggressive and not helpful, with the exception of Mike. We waited in line for drinks which was slow, but then the bar had two seats open, so we sat down. We sat for at least 20 minutes before anyone would help us even though they kept coming to our area. We finally asked Mike, who was working the line, and he said another guy was supposed to help us. That guy was Tanie, who continued to ignore us. Finally Mike just helped us even though he was supposed to be in charge of the line. Now lets talk Tanie, he couldn't function because he was too busy being a complete jerk to everyone, including the employees. He was the least functional bartender, but certainly the loudest. He was constantly screaming at the other bartenders, then he yelled and mocked a customer because they didn't tip, and roped the other bartenders into joining him. It was so uncomfortable. The vibe was so negative. It was very windy that day and at one point, the wind knocked over my husband's drink and spilled it all over the bar and our stuff. The bartenders all made a big deal of scolding him loudly for spilling as if he was a child, and then NONE of them offered napkins or a rag or anything. They just ignored us after yelling at us and left us there in a huge puddle, so we finally just left and went to the bathroom to clean off our items. I have never been so uncomfortable or felt so unwanted or had such blatant and purposeful bad service. Tanie especially was a full on villain, just bullying everyone around him.

We tried to scout it out at night and we only found it after asking the security guard. They open at 9am and there is a line to get in. I was maybe the 10th one in. I was just checking it out as 9am is way too early for some pool time. At 9 am there was one woman already with her feet in the pool. The pool water is cool to the touch. Other people had claimed their pool chairs and were laying out. Myself and a handful of people were dressed and scouting out the area. They have 3 beautiful pools. All set up with lifeguards. They have a 21+ pool area and they have a staff member sizing you up as you approach. Apparently I look the age so they didn't card me. I'm feeling old now. They have one nautical pool that's a walk in pool. I was told it was perfect for toddlers. Since I'm toddler less I think I'll pass. My guess is there are lots of swim diapers and peek g I. That pool. Hopefully people are t too drunk and peeing in the 21+ pool. We arrived around 11 am for an actual visit to the beach club wearing our suits under our shorts and Tshirts. There were plenty of beach chairs left, but all the ones in the shade were taken. We found some near the middle pool out in the lounge chair corral. So many chairs lined up in the sun. We laid out between plunges for around an hour. I was turning blotchy so it was time to go back inside. If we had some shade we would have stayed longer. They did have padded lunge chairs with umbrellas and cabanas to rent for a hearty fee. We didn't want to spend the extra cash as we still knew it wasn't going to be an all day activity. I did get a virgin strawberry slush out of their slushy machine. It was very refreshing. I highly recommend them. Sadly they didn't offer whipped cream. We loved the pool area and would go back and stay here again for the lovely pool.

Enjoyed a staycation at The Rio this week (5/31 - 6/2) which meant 2 blissful pool days!…read more Ipanema at The Rio has 4 very sizable pools, one of which is 21+ over which is a perfect place for us childfree folks to relax and is where we spent our time. Thanks to Yelp, I was able to see that the free chaise loungers do not have umbrellas. Since my husband is like a vampire and requires shade, I paid the additional $56 for us to have VIP chaise loungers at the 21+ pool which had thick cushions, an umbrella, and side tables. When we checked in we were escorted to the VIP loungers and told we could choose any pair we wanted. They were very comfortable and offered full shade to my husband and I was able to move my chaise out into the sun. The 21+ was really nice with the pool being perfectly cool without freezing, but we were bummed that the waterfalls weren't on. Yelp reviews were absolutely correct as we did see that 90% of the free chaise loungers were in full sun all day with zero relief, so I'm glad we paid extra for guaranteed shade. We made note though of the areas where there was some shade since we'd be taking advantage of the free loungers on day two at the pool. We got there earlier and practically had the entire place to ourselves, so we were easily able to snag some of the few free chaise's that had some shade from the trees. Vampire hubby was happy with his shaded chaise and I was happily sizzling in the sun. Overall, I really liked this pool (we've been to a total of 8 resort pools over the last 18 months); I'd put this in my top 4. I liked the fact they had a 21+ area that wasn't a day club, just a relaxing childfree pool, the overall layout of the entire pool area was spacious and easy to navigate, and that they allow you to bring an empty Hydroflask / reusable water bottle inside to refill at the water station inside Bar Aqua. A few minor complaints is that this pool isn't open to locals unless you are Tier Azul (minimum) for Rio's player's club or you pay for VIP loungers/cabanas. This is also the only Vegas pool we've been to that had no umbrellas at all for the free loungers and very few side tables for them; very strange and kind of harsh for guests considering how brutal our desert sun can be - I personally don't mind since I love to tan, but my husband and friends don't share that same affinity for tanning that I do and require some shade. You'd also think The Rio would want to prevent guests who aren't used to the desert heat from getting sick with heat exhaustion or heat stroke by having umbrellas placed throughout the free lounge areas; thus reducing their liability, but what do I know I guess. Lastly, the cocktail waitresses were just okay. Service was very inconsistent between the two days and our primary waitress on day 1 was extremely pushy, constantly trying to upsell us when we ordered drinks and food which was annoying. Usually pool servers get the hint when you decline an upsell the 1st time... Despite my minor complaints, I did enjoy our time at the Ipanema Pool and I wish I could go more often as a local.

Our server was Hannah and she was amazing and took really good care of us. I ordered the chicken tenders and wow, super suprised by the quality of food. The fries also had some kind of cajun seasoning on them and they were delightful! The pool was a salt water pool and it was sooo refreshing. They also have huge screens on the walls so you can watch sports and enjoy it, too. The pool closed at 5pm and we stayed most of the time. The cabanas were nice and had their own TV in them, too. They even brought out a table for the guys to play beer pong which was pretty cool, too. Love this pool and definitely won't be the last time we come here!
