Pros: Beachfront location Super Friendly Staff Great Breakfast Very Clean

Cons: Lots of mosquitoes however this is the case on the island and not unique to the property

Pros: Perfect location on beachside

Cons: The staff spent hours chatting by night and we couldn't sleep until midnight, unacceptable. Don't choose this structure if you have trolleys as it is 600mt far from the pier and you have to cross the beach to reach the pousada.

Pros: breakfast was very good with a varied selection of fresh fruit and food.

Pros: Very well located, very friendly staff that helped us to pick up the best tours and still managed for the boat to pick us up right in front the place. Great breakfast as well!

Pros: your only minutes away from where the life is on IG but you are... Absolute lovely place

Cons: nix

Pros: Room was nice, clean and has had a nice sea view. Excellent breakfast and very friendly staff

Cons: Hotel could only been entered via beach which makes it a bit difficult if you have luggage. Chair for the balcony would have been good.

Pros: - lovely setting - very nice breakfast with fresh fruits and several home-made cakes and savory preparations - small snack with cakes and hot beverages is served in the afternoon in the common room - many entertainment options (games, ping-pong table...) are available - WiFi available, although a bit slow - possibility to pay by card

Cons: - AC only available at a surcharge

Pros: Good facilities and very gracious hosts.

Cons: Slightly on the expensive side.

Pros: Beautiful decoration and setup, very good location in the heart of the town, nice breakfast with fresh fruits and juices Beautiful breakfast area decorated in middle of a jungle garden

Cons: I had a bunk bed in a four person room which was an average in comfort The normal bed seemed to be comfortable

Pros: Amazing facility and staff, good breakfast, very clean and beautiful, calm location with nature outside. Will definitely stay here again!

Pros: Nice and quiet location. Perfect for relaxing. There was a mosquito net in the window, which is what you need on this island.

Cons: Rooms is very small if you bring big suitcases. And only one person can be in the bathroom at once because its too tiny.

Pros: Incredibly friendly staff and really good breakfast! Ilha Grande is an expensive place to visit so we felt this place gave you good value for money compared to other options. Also allowed us to borrow beach towels and snorkelling equipment for the week free of charge.

Cons: WiFi wasn’t that fast but not a problem when you’re on an island with so much to do!

Pros: Great breakfast and very nice staff!

Cons: They charge extra money for the use of A/C.

Pros: Staff is very friendly and helpfull

Pros: Cute little pousada, well situated close to the beach walk in Abraão but still far enough that you don't get disturbed by any noise when trying to sleep. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is good. Easy to hike from Abraão to nice beaches on the island.

Cons: A bit expensive considering the simplicity of the pousada, but I guess you pay for the location. There was a sign in the bathroom to please help the planet by not throwing your towels on the ground if you didn't need new ones, so I didn't, but I still got a new towel. Just felt a bit unnecessary. The AC in the room was a bit loud, but not really a problem either.

Pros: super nice and hospitable staff Very funny and welcoming colorful design Amazing breakfast perfect price-performance ratio

Cons: you can't really stay long inside bc it's tiny

Pros: Personal was amazing and really friendly, great vibe breakfast and location.

Pros: The guesthouse was so cute and in an amazing location! The table and chairs outside our room was a nice touch as we could have a few beers and play a game of cards there before heading out. 2min away from the pier The rooms are comfortable and very clean. We only booked two nights here, and we were very sad to leave.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good location... Quirky front garden. Nice breakfast. Comfortable bed.

Cons: Poor welcome... Was on the phone did not welcome us. Room was small and cluttered. Badly furnished with an old, mixture of poor quality bedding. Bathroom sink was not fixed to wall on one side. Possibly it would fall off. Rusty soap rack in shower. The outside light was on all night which made sleeping difficult. To be honest we were disappointed. The property lack a sense of love and pride. We have stayed in budget accommodation before and loved it.

Pros: Very pretty decor, & the rooms are comfy. Love the paint job & garden!

Cons: Well, manager not there very often. Is only weird old guy who doesn't know anything about the island. Hotel (& everything else ) is jammed in too tight...very claustrophobic !

Pros: Great location and the staff were both friendly and professional. Breakfast also had a good variety of food available. Our stay was rather easy going and pleasant - I’d recommend it.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Location is really beautiful. It’s a secluded beach and if there are not many people at the hotel (especially if there aren’t any kids) it could be quite peaceful.

Cons: Because there’s nothing else but the hotel you are stuck with eating there at night. Restaurant serves a limited range of food and none of it is good. It’s overpriced especially for what you get. AC works only at night, which is OK because energy runs on a generator... but... AC equipment is extremly noisy and you can hear the generator as well, so instead of listening to the waves you hear machines

Pros: Cabins were very simple and very nice. Perfect for an island getaway. Private beach right outside the cabin was great. The food was really nice too

Cons: It rained whilst we were there, which is not their fault, but it made all the tap water brown and smelly

Pros: The location and beach is beautiful.

Cons: We paid a very high price for a luxury cabana, which smelled like mold, right next to the toilets (smelly) and next to a very noisy generator, which never stopped. The mold smell came from the bed, we learned, as it was covered in mold underneath.

Pros: Nature of the place ,.can't go wrong with island But miss sold ....

Cons: Basically we contacted the place days before arrival to let them know we would arrive a couple of days later ( due to family issues)..I rang 2 days in a row to only get through eventually 3 days later. (Direct contact seems very difficult and discontinued..they don't always answer the phone). No other means of contact exists btw. Upon arrival the room we were given was not what we had expected. It was dark..not by the sea (as shown in the pictures when we booked) and damp. Because we changed our booking from the 9_15 to the 11_16 we asked to be upgraded. They not only charged the full booking (six nights)claiming booking.com charges commission regardless but also refused to up grade us unless we paid extra for the room we wanted to move to . (May I say there were plenty of rooms empty). My partner was so upset that eventually she upgraded for the last 2'nighrs .(14\15). (I understand the need to charge commission for a full booking but we stayed a night less. That difference should have been refunded or paid towards the upgrade - less the commission which should have been 20 per cent per daily rate. Daily rate was 400 reais ) We paid an extra 260 reais for a two night upgrade) and paid a total of 2400 reais for six nights having only stayed 5 plus upgrade... The hostess is if anything umpleasant...does not talk to guests directly but sends her naive staff and when I asked for a full receipt of the full booking and upgrade and dates we actually stayed at the premises I was told it would be sent by email ( and was asked for my email) as the hostess did not have time then to provide me with this information, which is rightfully mine. She was busy playing with a camera drone. Thing we found extremely unpleasant and intrusive in a private beach per say ... All I want to say is that my partner books frequently through booking.com and such situation has never happened. The hostess"s inability to be flexible and honest is slightly worrying.

Pros: Perfect location, private beach. Good food, very friendly staff.

Cons: Very dark and damp rooms, no love for guests, WIFI is there but it’s a joke - rarely works - and when it does, count 2h to send a photo. Although employees were very friendly, the general attitude of the owner was unpleasant and not welcoming. We did not feel respected.

Pros: Simplicity / nature / beauty / privacy / attendance / hospitality

Pros: If you want to get away from the crowd on Ilha Grande, this is THE place to be. The location is amazing and the cabanas are right on the beach. The staff is super friendly. The welcome drink, one free transfer to abrao and goodbye/travel goody bag were super nice. The price/quality ratio is great.

Cons: Even though the staff was friendly, only one staff member spoke English. The shared bathroom area wasn’t super clean. The food was a bit too salty.

Pros: The staff was really friendly!!

Pros: Incredible hospitality

Pros: Staff is really nice and helpful, rooms were clean, AC worked great and it's 2 minutes from the beach

Cons: Nothing particularly.

Pros: Staff was very nice. Room is very clean.

Cons: Breakfast could be better with more veriaty. There is no room with 3 single beds, only 1 double and 1 single bed.

Pros: Very friendly employees the all time from the moment we enter the hotel until we left and the hotel is very clean

Cons: The price of all most 100 euro was not worth it ! because this is very simple hotel with very small rooms and old furnitures and this price is absolutely unacceptable for what this kind of accommodation the offers .

Pros: Very friendly owner, great breakfast

Cons: Besides the owner, staff doesn’t speak any English

Pros: Good breakfast, great location in front of the beach. Very friendly staff

Cons: Not very clean, difficult to localise, some insects in the room (mostly geckos, but still). Anyway, in line with the average pousadas in Ilha Grande

Pros: staff great to us, price, location, breakfast pretty good, good shower and good ac. even though we could not lock our patio or window there was no security issue i.e. safe. lastly, the staff stored our bags after we checked out, and even several hours after check out they let my wife take a shower after swimming in the ocean during our last day.

Cons: could not completely shut porch or windows and consequently always had a few mosiquito bites and could not completely lock room. towel changes were infrequent.

Pros: The receptionist Elton was helpful, friendly and gave very good suggestions for what to do. The pousada is serene and it was enjoyable reading a book in the hammock. The breakfasts and afternoon teas were tasty and satisfying. Location was great for what we like, set back from the busy beachfront but close to everything.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Amazing Staff and good breakfast.

Cons: Facilities are outdated and need some refurbishment.

Pros: Loved the greenery, the birds and the amazing breakfast

Cons: Nicest poussada I seen on the island.

Pros: I loved how you feel completely in the jungle yet are a short walk from the main town with restaurants and bars. The property also had a big focus on sustainability which I think is so important, including water refill and no small plastic wash things. Breakfast was great with lots of lovely fresh fruit and a nice tea and coffee and cake in the afternoon.

Cons: The bathroom felt a little dated and the room was a bit dark however they have done a good job with modern furnishings to brighten it up

Pros: Excellent! Highly recomended!

Pros: The gardens are stunning and the kitchen is well equipt and very clean.

Pros: The garden

Cons: No refund when we got bed bugs (it still itches three days later and we had to pay to get all our clothes washed!) No security (anyone could open the window and walk straight in), A LOT of mould on the pillows. No mosquito nets, dangerous electricity.

Pros: The cachoeira on property and plants were nice. Owners were friendly. Rooms were clean.

Cons: Bugs around us at breakfast were very annoying. Beds were not comfortable, pillows not comfortable. Very basic.

Pros: Lovely place to stay on the island! Really nice room, one of the best we've stayed whilst being in SA. There is a really nice outdoor setting with tables and chairs, the kettle and toaster is outside too so we could sit and eat breakfast in mornings. Big well equipped kitchen for cooking, it's only 5 min walk to beach, very clean and comfy and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend this place!

Cons: A lot of mosquitoes around in the evening so use bug spray! The wifi didnt work in our room but worked well by kitchen/outside area.

Pros: Nice rooms and clean, good breakfast and friendly staff

Pros: Clean rooms that were serviced every day, clean sheets and towels, great kitchen facilities nice peaceful outdoor tables

Cons: Bit of a walk out of town but the peace and quiet was worth it!

Pros: Well locaded and friendly staff

Pros: Breakfast was insane

Pros: This was our second pick for our island stop over as the Casablanca cancelled on us however this turned out to be better. Book the triple room if available as you get a balcony with hammock to chill on and take in the fab jungle views which we wouldn’t of got at the other pousada. Great staff and the best eggs and lovely ham in the morning we had for our whole holiday.

Cons: All good :)

Cons: Very unfriendly staff,unwilling owner, no smile on her face, we felt they don’t like tourists, english language on zero level, owner looked still very ungry. Room was too small and stinky, only bed and fridge in room, no space for luggage..... .The bed too small for a couple,very unconfortable...... .Bed clothes so dirty. We had so much nips from bed bugs!!!!Every morning so much nips from a new bed bugs!!!Air condition was too noisy and placed too high without remote (only manual when I jumped on the bed!!!)Bathroom was same too small. All staff were very noisy every evening untill late morning hours !!!!! I highly not recommended this accomondation.... .

Pros: The property is very nice, it is a good location, a little difficult to find at first but close to the main areas. The breakfast was very good with a lot of variety. The rooms are spacious.

Cons: The owners do not speak any English (we used google translate on our phones).

Pros: We stayed in four different places in Ilha Grande and this was our favorite. It’s a bungalow feel and the breakfast was amazing. Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet.

Cons: It’s tucked behind the town but only a very short walk. The rooms are on the smaller side but comfortable all the same.

Pros: Amazing room with attached bathroom. Very beautiful setting of the whole place with hammocks everywhere. Super cute breakfast area under a big bamboo umbrella with palm trees around. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Everything was very well maintained and clean. They do your laundry if you like for 8R$ per kilo. Would definitely recommend this place when staying on Ilha grande!

Cons: Kinda hard to find without google maps.

Pros: The friendliest staff, the cleanliness and the great breakfast!

Pros: - Breakfast was good - Location is good/ not at the main street - In general friendly and helpful staff, but see also negative points

Cons: - Uncomfortable bed (in particular old/ uneven pillows) - Cracks in the ceiling where light came in all night - Although the hotel lists a safe (without extra charge), they wanted to charge my girlfriend for the safe at check out. Only when I engaged in the discussion it was suddenly no issue any more - We wanted to check out 15min later, they told us that this is not possible without extra charge of 1/2 day rate - To get the room cleaned you need to hang your room key at a board near the reception. However, the reception is not always occupied and thus other guests and non-guests have access to the room keys during the day. - In general, expensive for what they offer

Pros: There was always someone around to help with anything needed. And they had tea and cake available all day which was a lovely little addition.

Cons: Nothing. It was great!

Pros: Nice garden and location, about 5 minutes away from the pier.

Cons: The room as well as the hotel facilities were quite basic for the price we paid.

Pros: Just an average place, rather at the back of the village. If you are looking for a quiet place then that is perhaps an option, but in my view it was not good value for money.

Cons: It looked very nice on booking, but the reality was that it vis quite old and the rooms are old too. The A/C was bussing like hell, a lot of mosquitoes (not a surprise in places where water is) but the net was not sealed so new mosquito armada was coming in every minute.

Pros: Great location. Quiet but close to town.

Cons: Property is dated but is similar to other properties in the area. WiFi was good in the common area but not good in the room.

Pros: Location and view were amazing, the staff was friendly and helpful, and it was so clean!

Cons: The WiFi barely works at all

Pros: The view was beautiful and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. There was generally also a very good vibe with the other guests and it was great to have the deck for breakfast and drinking in the evening.

Cons: Beds weren’t particularly comfortable and some of us didn’t like the breakfast as there wasn’t much choice (bread, fruit, cereal and cake everyday) but still a good standard for a hostel.

Pros: Great vibe, great hostel, great breakfast

Cons: There's was no Wi-Fi due to the storm but that was out of their control

Pros: Best place for sunset. Love the deck. Super friendly staff. Far from the rest of town but also within walking distance to everything. Great location

Cons: The room smelt strongly of old expired coconut oil upon entering. There's a guy in the room that snored like crazy. Loud and nonstop. I could not sleep much at all. No internet upstairs. My bed didn't even have a power socket. I had to use the one at my friend's bed.

Pros: The deck and the location

Cons: The mattress had moat and the kitchen facilities were very basic.

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: It's just perfect! Host is super friendly and helps with everything you can imagine.

Pros: The hostess was very helpful and friendly, always looking for contact, asking how our day was and enriching us with tips about the island. The views from the room and balcony (with hammock) are absolutely amazing.

Cons: It wasn’t like I didnt really like it, but the room was very simple. Furthermore the shower was really basic and not working so well all the time.

Pros: Good breakfast with a great view

Cons: Staff not really available, beds were very damp due to the rain. No hot shower

Pros: - Hugo the guy who runs it is very polite and helpful with ideas of what to do when on the island. - Good Breakfast (Amazing Mango and Passionfruit) - Rooms tidy

Cons: - Property were up the very uneven stairs. Carful when wearing flip-flops. - The room had a stale smell of urine.

Pros: Lovely breakfast on the terrace. Hugo had amazing knowledge of the area and gave us some great tips for enjoying the island.

Pros: The location! The view! The hammock on the balcony. Breakfast. Our hostess! The kolibries. The location! The view!

Pros: The breakfast

Cons: Arrival - the receptionist was not friendly and treated us like we didn't belong there. She gave no information about Island tours and only after looking over the booking I printed out and showed her did she check us in. No hospitality what so ever. The light fixtures in the room were hanging out from the ceiling with newspaper wrapped around the wiring. This is one of the more expensive pousadas. We will not be staying here again.

Pros: Location, very friendly staff, excellent breakfast

Cons: Very weak Wifi

Pros: Location, just overlooking the sea.

Cons: We arrived and they kept us waiting for over an hour and without any explanation or email in advance (we booked the pousada on Oct) made us stay in a horrible pousada next door. They did not apologize and we could not talk to the manager. They would not give us any refunds or compensation for the error they made and did not inform us about. We were very angry with the treatment we received and it definitely made our stay in Ilha Grande disappointing.

Pros: Location

Cons: No room service, air condition was old

Pros: Location

Cons: Staff not really helpful. No information.

Pros: Amazing place and location. Highly recommended !

Pros: Amazing staff, nice breakfast, and coffee break, area is quiet, decorated nicely,

Cons: Air conditioner too loud. Sound isolation non existent.

Pros: Passionate hospitality, Nice breakfast, Calm neighborhood

Pros: Monica is a very good host, she gave us a warm welcome and was always there when we needed something or had questions about the area. She doesn’t speak English though but that wasn’t a problem for us. Very clean accommodation.

Cons: Everything was great!

Pros: Quite central and at a 5 min walk from the port of Abraão. The breakfast is nice with great fruits, amazing coffee nice bread and cake. There is always a coffee and tea pot with cake in the afternoon.

Cons: A lot of noise in the night in the roofs due to bats and birds..didn’t really like that.

Pros: Staff were lovely! Breakfast was nice, wifi was good, location was great. The best thing about the property is the lovely people who can't do enough to help you.

Cons: The rooms are a little bit spartan but overall pretty comfy.

Pros: Hosts with minimal english but very helpful and accommodating. We were able to leave our bags with the hosts for the day and then they provided us with towels and use of the communal showers when we returned that day after checking out which was great before our long transfer.

Pros: Everything was good. However it was sometimes hard to communicate with hotel’s staff because they spoke only portuguese.

Pros: Great place, great breakfast. The staff went over the top to be friendly and helpful, even with little English. Kept clean and nice throughout the stay. Good value!

Cons: The air conditioning was a little loud.

Pros: The breakfast had a great selection

Cons: The room smelt damp and the wifi was bad. The hotel is very overpriced for what you get

Pros: Location

Cons: Rooms smelled terrible and building works going on. Expensive for a very outdated hotel

Pros: I liked very much staff. Very polite and friendly, with a good English and advises what to do and where to go. We even could choose the room from two offered rooms. Good location, clean and nice room.

Cons: No vegetables during the breakfast.

Pros: Amazing breakfast, amazing location, walking distance from everything (restaurants, shops, attractions, services). Nice pool, internet working quite well.

Cons: May be just a little bit overpriced in relation to the overall quality of the room, but it was during the summer, so I can understand that.

Pros: The location and friendly staff

Pros: Excellent location just off the main street and pier, easy access to hiking trails and several beaches. Nice pool area. Very good breakfast.

Cons: There are no hairdryers in rooms, you have to ask reception to borrow one - if someone else is using it, tough luck! The shower pressure could be better and the room was really damp - even our clothes and bags got damp, however, while we were there it wasn't too hot and sunny so maybe it's better when the weather improves.

Pros: I liked the friendly staff and poolside views for a great price!

Pros: Pretty hotel in a stunning location. The staff tried to be helpful when asked but were not very experienced. There was a refreshing variety of fresh fruit for breakfast.

Cons: The room was too small for 3 beds squashed together. There was a smell of wee in the cupboard. The bed spreads did not look like they had been washed. The bathroom shower area and ceiling was full of mould patches. When we asked for an alternative room - the young man at reception did send someone to clean it but no apology or compromise alternative was offered. There was a cat walking on the table cloths in the dining area. It was the worst standard of room, customer service and value for money I experienced during my one month of travelling around South America. There were times in the day when there were staff around!!

Pros: Breakfast was simple but ok. Host was kind enough but impossible to communicate with her due lack of english

Cons: Situated apx 10 minutes walk from the Beach. Be aware that the host speak zero english. Breakfast ok. Beds ok. Small bathroom

Pros: Michelle was a lovely host and so very helpful and funny. It was just off the main section of town and easy to get to. Lovely and quiet. Would happily stay there again.

Pros: The garden is beautiful and the people are helpful

Pros: Nice place, nice rooms! It had everything we needed. The staff was nice as well

Cons: First of all, it should be mentioned that there are 300 steps to get even into the hostel, from there there are more steps to get into the rooms (good to know if you are travelling with a suitcase). And it should be ok to mention that the hostel is located in a community (favela). I did not mind this as I was with my boyfriend, but it would definitely have been different would I have travelled alone. But overal I loved the hostel and the staff was great!

Pros: Really nice and friendly staff. Room was nice and clean and the breakfast fresh and really good.

Cons: There was nothing to complain about. For some people it might be a bit far from the main street, but we actually enjoyed the quietness and the beautiful way the pousada is built into the nature.

Pros: Location is Nice and the outside is beautifull! The island itself is really worth a visit!!

Cons: Really way to overpriced! We had our stay in a small room where, at night, we got company in our bed by some water leaking out of the roof. The windows couldnt close so it was cold. So, at This woken night we couldnt even ignore the discomfort by watching netflix or looking for the next destination by the lack of the promised wifi. Lets not talk about the filfthy bathroom where you cant stay to long because you, as a human being, need fresh air. To bad even the host couldnt wash this uncomfort away by being friendly: saying goodmorning at breakfast is to much to ask i guess. Dont get me wrong:  It would be a fine place to stay for less than half the price. It would fit the expectations.

Pros: Vegetation and breakfast

Cons: Too far. Bed. Services.

Pros: Peaceful place, with great hospitality, always willing to help. Breakfast was ok.

Cons: A little bit expensive regarding to the comfort. No air con, bed not really confortable
