Hotéis em Vila do Abraão

Prós: Really good breakfast. Location directly in front of the beach. Area where the pousada is located on the beach is more quiet. However, within 3-5 minutes walk you are directly at the center.

Prós: Everything was amazing! The staff, the location and the island

Prós: The breakfast was amazing. Eggs, sausage, casseroles, fresh fruit, delicious breads, more than I expected. And the coffee was amazing. The hotel is located right on the beach, about a 6 min walk on the beach from the pier (you will have to cross a small water bay, ankle-deep water), or a 10 min walk through the cobbled streets which are beautiful too. During the walk to the hotel on the beach, it's very hard not to stop by the many tiki-torched bars on the beach. The area is VERY safe (not like Rio De Janeiro or its neighboring city, Angra dos Reis) and the locals are very friendly. Ilha Grande is a pictureque island town with good vibes and fun, cheap boat rides w/ unlimited capirinhas :)

Contras: Wish I could've stayed longer

Prós: great breakfast, beach in front of the hotel

Prós: Good value for money (when compared to places literally next door) Helpful staff

Contras: Breakfast isn't amazing

Prós: The house is comfortable, well designed and very clean. The staff and their service is perfect! The location is just 10min from ferry pier with nice grill restaurants nearby. It was absolutely the best place we lived in brazil. Thank you for everything!

Prós: Quiet place, good location, nice room, super nice breakfast and friendly staff.

Contras: To leave :/

Prós: Loved the location on the beach, the open and warm decor of the property, the cosy room with a sea view (simple, small but light, super comfortable with enough space and all mod cons), the breakfast and afternoon tea, and helpfulness of staff.

Contras: Although great to have wifi throughout the property, it would occasionally cut out so you'd have to logon every time you used it. First world problem!

Prós: Staff were lovely. Breakfast was good. View from room and balcony were amazing! Really nice to have the decking over the beach too!

Contras: Sand flies aren’t the hotels fault....the whole of Ilha Grande are covered in them but the room did not have AC instead a ceiling fan, so it did result in circulating hot air in 30 heat or opening the balcony door and getting eaten alive. Overall the hotel was great even if a little pricey.

Prós: So glad we booked Pousada Caicara, in fact on arrival we liked it so much we ended up adding two extra nights to our stay. A beautiful, clean guesthouse run by lovely staff who are there all day and night. Breakfast is a lovely bonus and being able to sit there almost right in the beach watching the world go by is heaven. Cannot recommend this place enough.

Prós: Amazing breakfast, sleeping with light waterfall sound, nice varanda to the jungle, Juliana and João super kind. Tudo maravilhoso

Prós: Hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was great, close to the centre and beach but down a side street so was quiet and pretty location in jungle environment by a river. The breakfast was also very good, plentiful and omelette made to order.

Prós: Everything. We were late booking for our trip to IG and totally fluked into Pitanga. We felt good about it going there, but the place even exceeded our expectations. The staff was outstanding - friendly, accommodating and offering lots of good info. The place was clean. Lots of good places to sit outside, including the great little balcony that faces the trees and small creek. It was a two-minute walk from the action, which provided convenience but also quiet. Would 100% recommend it!

Prós: Julia is a great source of information and knows the best spots.

Contras: Room was small and there was no way to ventilate during the night (maybe place a net I front of the window). The rooms are noisy, especially the neighbors AC.

Prós: Nice basic room. Pousada was about 5-10 minute walk from the port. There was a downstairs space so it allowed us to have more room.

Prós: Very clean, very quiet, nice breakfast (amazing fruit and fruit juice), host is very helpful and friendly

Contras: No storage for clothes on the top floor

Prós: The room is good, the breakfast is very good and the owner Juliana is very kind helping us a lot with tours and advices

Prós: The property is amenable to relaxing in peace, away from the village noise. Breakfast was excellent. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Contras: Nothing to dislike.

Prós: Well located. Around 5 to 10 minutes max from the village centre. Juliana is a wonderful host. She helped me finding activities and was very nice and caring. Also nice and soothing to hear the river at night.

Prós: This was a beautiful, relaxing place to escape. The breakfast was delicious and Juliana was so lovely, welcoming and helpful. Rooms are comfortable. Definitely recommend.

Contras: The one thing I would change is that it would be nice if the windows had screens to keep out bugs. We borrowed a mosquito net to sleep under so that was helpful!

Prós: Location good and had character

Contras: The room was very small

Prós: It's a beautiful and cozy place. Good beds and clean environment. Friendly staff.

Contras: Breakfast was OK but not good. Especially the juices aren't really sweet and almost undrinkable. And because of the lack of electricity there was no ac working. So it wasn't a good sleep during night. They have very often lack of electricity on the whole island. Normally you pay extra for ac and there is no refund. Even after power off my ac wasn't working anymore... The bathroom is very small.

Prós: Good breakfast. Staff is hospitable and friendly but doesn't speak English. Nice balcony and private yard. Room was clean.

Prós: breakfast was really nice, the staff was always available to our request and the location is really good. The room is simple but really cozy and comfortable.

Contras: The shower flood and leak on the sides. This was a bit annoying but nothing that disturbed our stay there.

Prós: Nice breakfast, very we special beautiful woody, designed place

Contras: Mosquito net are necessary !! we got many bites at night. Non of the stuff knew English and though they were nice we couldn’t get any help.

Prós: breakfast the little garden DVD library lovely personnel

Contras: volatile wifi small room

Prós: Breakfast, Location, Public areas in the Pousada

Contras: Staff speaks only portuges

Prós: Friendly staff, breakfast, other guests seemed nice

Contras: Room was bit damp and smelly, though this is common problem on the humid island. Noisy fridge

Prós: Staff wonderful and helpful. Complimentary snorkels, Complementary afternoon tea. Breakfast delicious especially the cakes! Decor exceptional.

Contras: Bathroom a bit small.

Prós: Clean and very good breakfast. Staff is friendly and helpful, although none speaks any English.

Contras: Room and bathroom are very small, no place to store two small or one large suitcase. Almost can’t open bathroom door when in bathroom. Bed js small for anyone exceeding 1.75m and uncomfortably hard. Garden looks nice but is not very functional. Have stayed in much better apartments for less money all over Brazil (Rio, Salvador, Pipa, Floripa, Iguazu) - might be an Ilha Grande issue though.

Prós: Lovely stay in a beautiful hotel! The hotel was just off the busy main strip which meant it was perfect in the evening. Also set in a jungle-esq jungle which made the hotel more special. Beach towels and bat and ball were available from the hotel which was super helpful. Great staff, great breakfast, comfortable rooms. Couldn't ask for more.

Contras: nothing!

Prós: Beautiful nature environment, cozy room, satellite tv

Contras: Our room smelled a bit like a sewer

Prós: Nothing to complain about - everything was great! We would like to compliment Elton for his thoughtful way and for giving us very nice advice!

Prós: Our stay in the Pousada dos Cambucas was very good. It has a good location, not in the center of the village but 3m walking distance from the center in a more quiet place. It's kind of an eco lodge that makes you feel as if you are in the middle of the nature, with birds waking you up in the morning with their songs, and with a clear attention to the water usage and waste recycling. I would like to emphasize here the welcome reception made by Sandra, the manager of the Pousada, that has been always very nice to us, providing us all the tips to get to know the island, and making herself available at all times to make us feel at home.

Prós: 10 out of 10! Best host during our trip in Brasil. Very friendly and helpful staff, nice setup/facilities/ecosystem, nice room, best breakfast, many xtras!

Prós: Clean, well maintained and with quality invested into it.

Contras: Very humid rooms, clothes never dry, but this is everywhere, there at least they have drying machines and offer the service.

Prós: Very close to the center Calm and relaxing place Staff very friendly

Contras: I am paying a big amount for two people, why is only one beach towel included, second one we had to pay extra. We dis not use all other things that were included.

Prós: Breakfast and room are really good! The staff is really nice, they borrow me some snorkel and towels for the beach

Contras: Inside the room I heard everything around it, the steps of the people of outside and from the other rooms

Prós: The gardens is beautiful - lush and excellently tended to. The housekeeping staff make the room up imaculately each day. The room looks very nice. Coffee machine is good. The jacuzzi bath, once you've got the nack for turning it on, is brilliant. Breakfast is nice. They lend you beach umbrellas & snorkels. We paid for a massage too - the spa room is gorgeous, a beautiful spot, but the masseuse wasn't great. That's are lots of nice things about this place too, we had a great stay here, but for the price we'd expect lots of little things to be improved (see 'dislike' part of this review)

Contras: It was a little overpriced. For the price i'd expect the details to be better - such as the jacuzzi bath running cold unless you run it in a certain way (their maintenance person helped us on the first day, but we had the same problem every time we ran it), having to ask for a lock to the safe and it being so stiff you can hardly get the key out, no net curtains but big glass doors between your bed and the pattio where the staff & guests walk through, the bed is a bit hard - a better mattress is needed, the room gets very damp because of the jacuzzi bath & due to a stream running though the property next to the room - ventilation /dehumidifier is needed, the stack of dusty old videos ... - this should be kept up to date or switched to a TV subscription (netflix etc), lending you only one beach towel and charging for a second one when the are two of you, the masseuse spending a lot of time on her phone not paying much attention, massaging one handed or just stopping.... It's a very nice place to stay, but lots of little things should be addressed if they are to charge that much money...

Prós: The place was lovely and peaceful!! Very well located, close to the port but in a quiet area. The staff was always friendly and helpful! Breakfast is amazing. We had such a nice stay!

Contras: The nearest beach is not very close: 15min walking distance

Prós: Breakfast was really nice considering the price. Rooms are really clean, staff were especially nice and are highlight of our stay. When you arrive at dock in Ilha Grande and you have luggage you will have option to carry it by yourself or pay carrier who will use their carts. While carts are more comfortable option they are not cheap, as we were charged 40BRL for one way (return ticket by boat for Lopes Mendes is 30BRL). When we were returning to docks we decided to carry luggage by ourselves, you can use road through Villa do Abrao and then you have maybe 100meters to carry it on the beach. Ofcourse if it rains or road is muddy we recommend to use carts.

Contras: Beds in this facility have strange front legs, and we hit our knees legs multiple times while walking by the bed, probably an misfortune but watch out. Also problem in this facility is that its hard to seal the room of the mosquitos since windows are hard to completely close.

Prós: Talita, the chief of staff.

Contras: Two serious problems: 1. the bad smell (sewerage?!) in the ground floor rooms; 2. no mosquito nets or something else against the mosquitoes.

Prós: Friendly staff and very clean rooms

Prós: Everything !!! Super friendly and helpful staff ! The room was spacious, and super clean ! The bed was confortable and the AC super quiet ! Big plus : the shower :) The breakfast is very good, it is served early and for a long period

Contras: Nothing !!!

Prós: The location is great - it’s quiet as you are outside of the centre but within a 5 minute walk along the beach or under 10 by the roads you are by all the restaurants and shops. The view from our room was magical. The breakfast is one of the best we have had since being in Brazil - they offer freshly scrambled eggs for you and you can have as many eggs as you would like! Staff are very friendly and helpful, sometimes there was a language barrier but nothing google translate couldn’t sort out!! Highly recommend this Pousada - if possible get an ocean view room and you will not be disappointed!

Prós: Everything, very nice staff, good breakfast, big room, amazing location in the beach but in a more quiet spot.

Contras: Nothing.

Prós: Extremely Clean and friendly staff.

Contras: Location is bit of a walk from port

Prós: Perfect location on beachside

Contras: 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.

Prós: Pousada Ancoradouro is a great place to stay. The staff headed by Renata and Romulo are fun kind and will make anything they can to make your stay extraordinary. This is the fifth pousada I have stayed in at Ilha Grande and by far the best. Highy recommended.

Prós: The front of house staff were friendly and helpful. We had an issue with mosquitos in our room when we arrived and the man on front of house went out of his way to help us resolve the issue. The hotel was quiet and we had a comfortable stay. The aircon was very good. The bedroom was an ok size with a decent fridge. Breakfast was OK, nothing special though.

Contras: Housekeeping kept leaving our doors open which let the bugs in...! It wasn't worth us having the sea view as you couldn't really see it from lower level and we had to have the windows shut a lot of the time due to mosquitos. There is a definite mould problem in the bathroom and there was always a musty smell. The bathrooms could do with some TLC!

Prós: This is wonderful place, where you can get away from it all. You get a little house with a front porch and hammocks. From the hotel you can go to a little beach or take long walks in the woods. The area is very beautiful. We even saw some howler monkeys. We also enjoyed their cats and dogs. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The breakfast is very good. They even got gluten-free bread and cake for me. What a nice treat! We ate dinner there in the evening and I have to say Fabiana's cooking was some of the best food we ate during our whole vacation. She is really a great host and a great cook.

Prós: Fabianas and Leonardos place is a real dream! The location and the view is absolutely beautiful and built with a lot of love! We had our own little house in the middle of their gorgeous garden with a lot of birds and plants you could just spend hours watching. Fabiana knows a lot about the fauna and flora of the island and is cultivating orchards in order to reastablish the natural forest environment. They are wonderful, caring hosts and we enjoyed very much our conversations and of course Fabianas delicious food! We took home a lot of that tranquility and beautiful memories! Thank you! Muchas gracias Fabiana, espero que nos vamos a ver de nuevo algún día! Obrigada Leonardo!

Prós: we had a wonderful stay at the mar de sonhos! this place is absolutely gorgeous! we were looking for a remote pousada, in the nature, with no touristic fuss. and this is exactly what we got! we had our own chalet with a stunning view on the little bay. down some stairs there is the little beach which is quiet and very beautiful. you can watch the sunset while drinking a caipirinha with grilled fish from the little bar, after some scuba diving experience (there are some masks and flippers available in the chalet). we had a very warm welcoming by fabiana, leo and his brother! fabiana's cooking is excellent, we strongly recommend to take the dinner! we will never forget this place! thank you fabiana for every thing! and for helping us so much with the boats!

Contras: just know that this place is quite hard to reach from abraão. it is easily accessible from angra (on the continent). but from the island itself it's a bit tricky. from abraão you only have taxi boats (350-400 reais for the taxi). what we did was to take a tourist tour that took us to lagoa verde (100 reais/person). and disembark there (20 minutes walk to the pousada). if you're lucky like us, the sailor from the tourist boat will make a special detour and drive you to araçatiba for free. then you'll have to book another tourist tour if you want to get back to abraão. but anyway, fabiana is really really helpful and she will find a way for you to get there!

Prós: Beautiful and peaceful location, great breakfast, very comfortable bed, nicely appointed room, excellent hot shower. Fabiana, Leonardo and the staff are fantastic.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Fabiana and Leonardo were wonderful welcoming hosts. We loved their home and it's location and their love for their surroundings. The snorkelling was great and we were lucky enough to see a turtle and a seahorse. We had a fabulous stay with them.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Beautiful location, pool is a perfect temperature and nice relaxing atmosphere Good WiFi Comfy beds Friendly staff Tasty breakfast and afternoon tea 5 minute walk from the main town

Contras: Hot water is unpredictable Otherwise nothing!

Prós: Super friendly staff. The place is beautiful, it makes you feel like you are in the middle of the jungle (actually, you are). They offer tasty breakfast. The accommodation was clean and comfy. AC worked perfectly. They have power generator, so everything worked when the city faced power shutdown. They also have swimming pool.

Prós: The owner was really nice and take care about every thing. One morning we didnt woke up so she came to ask if we want sone thing before she srart to clean and every thing she did with a smile.

Prós: Perfect! Nettie was an outstanding host and took care of everything: special vegan breakfast, immediate support in medical situation, always kind and very helpful! Made our stay a special one. The location of the pousada is very quiet and only a few minutes from the city center / beach. Everything is kept very clean.

Prós: Great and very helpful staff! The birdsong in the morning was the best to wake up with :)

Prós: The feeling that we were at home, taken care by Nette who was outstanding in every way.When we make it back to the island we hope to see her again. All the best for casa Bonita! Special thanks to Josivaldo!

Prós: Breakfast was great! A beautiful terrace surrounded by rainforest.

Prós: About a five minute walk from the main drag in Abraao, so everything is quite peaceful and secluded. AC units work very well (quiet), and breakfast is great. Staff is very helpful.

Prós: We were the only guests there and it was very quiet. The staff was the best we ever had. Even-though nobody spoke english, they were very helpful and cared for everything. They even prepared breakfast and coffee and cake in the afternoon just for us. It is 10 minutes walk from the harbour, but we loved to stay there. One of the most caring accommodations we had during our trip.

Contras: Everything was perfect.

Prós: The host was very friendly. The room was clean and the pousada has a nice outdoor area. The breakfast was great with a lot of fresh fruits. We liked the location as it was a bit further away from the harbour, so less crowded. It was just a few minutes walk, so still close enough to the beach, restaurants and shops.

Prós: The location is amazing, away from city life noise but in crawling distance from everything. Although Abraao is not big and you walk around it very fast but we still found our Pousada location to be the best. Staff speaks english and are welcoming, flexible and helpful (which is not so easy to find in Ilha grande if not speaking portuguese). The aircondition might not be the most effective one but they are clear with this in the information and it was okay for us despite very hot weather. The design of the hotel adds to a cozy feeling. If coming back to Ilha Grande we would absolutely stay here again.

Contras: Some healthier alternatives for breakfast would be appreciated, just adding eggs would do a lot. Nice with fresh fruit though but otherwise it's mainly white bread and different cakes.

Prós: reception. people. surprisingly it was quiet enough for a place right in the center of the village! very fresh cakes, well, everything in breakfast. very understanding , forthcoming owner. early check in,.......

Contras: things get worn out of course, but still function good enough.....

Prós: Excellent breakfast. Cozy and well maintained.

Contras: Rooms a bit small for a party of 4. Slow wifi. More power outlets and a bedside light are needed.

Prós: The Staff is very good. The hotel somewhat run down is more a hostel, good enough. An elderly couple would feel a bit awkward in this posada. On the all Ilha Grande as pricey as Rio de Janeiro without the quality

Contras: Cramped breakfast place.

Prós: This pousada is one of the nicest we’ve stayed in during a trip through Brazil. The staff are so friendly and helpful and speak good English - which is helpful when your Portuguese isn’t advanced! The general vibe of the place is great, really laid back and the decor is adorable ! Spending breakfast watching hummingbirds in the garden was a delight. We were also allowed to leave our bags at the pousada on check out day and then have a lovely HOT shower before heading on our way. Thank you for a lovely few days.

Contras: The breakfast was nice, but limited.

Prós: Good location - just few minutes walk from the main port and beaches. Very friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere. Nice breakfast served at the the terrace with beautiful view. Also it was nice to enjoy free coffee with pastries everyday after the lunch time. We had a room with one king and two single beds. It was very simple but comfortable. It was so nice to chill out in the patio with hammock. We had an enjoyable time in Ilha Grande

Prós: Excellent ! And good breakfast

Contras: Careful, some rooms are close to the electric generator and the diving school which generates a lot of noise. Avoid those rooms

Prós: We loved everything, the staffs were really nice and helpful And they let me use the kitchen to prepare my baby's food! Awesome stay highly recommend this posada! Thanks Paolo!

Prós: 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.

Contras: N/A

Prós: The hostel was beautiful and colorful, a short walk to the beach, the host was extremely welcoming and the breakfast was very good.

Prós: Great location, wonderful hammocks and a good breakfast.

Contras: Rooms were a bit cramped.

Prós: Great Pousada to enjoy the island Great location Cristiano, his wife and the staff are all super nice Breakfast is great and they even serve a tea time, which is great after a long trek :) Highly recommended !

Contras: Shower water was not very hot maybe. But that was totally fine !

Prós: The staff was extremely friendly and always ready to help. They made our stay very enjoyable.

Prós: - Good breakfast - Great value for money - Caring and friendly host

Prós: Everything! Good breakfast, very nice and helpful staff, great location and beautiful rooms. Also the restaurant is great! We would definitely recommend this place!

Prós: Atmosphere with lovely plants, friendly staff, good breakfast

Contras: Single bed very uncomfortable

Prós: All was Ok. Breakfast great. nice place & garden.

Contras: Price was a bit high. first contact with management was a little rough and I would have imagined a more warm welcome. instead we had to read all the rules of the place and pay in advance.

Prós: good location, spacious enough and comfortable room, nice, exotic decorations; pretty good café attached to the inn

Contras: the wifi was pretty bad, the room had a small ceiling leak, it was hard to find staff when you need them

Prós: The rooms a bit small but adequate, the garden with hammocks invited relaxation and provided a serene atmosphere. Breakfast very nice with fresh fruit, cakes, buns and the afternoon coffee was a Nice touch. There’s a laundry service offered t a very reasonable cost. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Overalls great stay

Prós: Breakfast was good, the rooms are clean and neat. The location is perfect, as well as the service by the staff! We loved the afternoon coffee and cookies as well. Would definitely recommend this place.

Contras: It was great; if possible, request a room on the first floor, it'll be even quieter. Rooms could be bigger, but the seating area outside makes up. For. It.

Prós: Overall I enjoyed my stay here. It is a cute little hotel on a quiet street in Ilha Grande. The AC worked well, it was clean, and the staff was friendly. It had a cute outdoor area and a nice ambiance.

Contras: The downsides were that the internet didn't work in my room and that the water was turned off for a long time one day while they were refilling it. This is to be expected in an island property.

Prós: Wonderfully decorated place, very clean every where. The room was very spacious, a lovely bathroom and also a fridge which was helpful as we made use of the kitchen. The staff are welcoming and very accommodating, the cats are so cute and friendly. It’s a decent location from the main streets, only a few minutes walk.

Contras: It had every thing we could want for our 3 night stay, can’t complain.

Prós: Great location, nicely decorated rooms, daily cleaning service

Contras: The theee cats laying everyevere, including at the table when you are eating. Our room was on the ground floor, when sitting in front you could smell too much cat pee.

Prós: Everything was terrible

Contras: The was no water in the toilet in the first night and I could not take a shower to sleep after a day in the beach. The lamp of the toilet was not working. The sheets and pillows smeels wet. The receptionist is not friendly or helpful at all. You can find better places for the same price.

Prós: The property itself was beautiful. I loved the resident house kitties. The communal kitchen was also super helpful and helped cut down on costs.

Contras: The Wifi is listed as available throughout the property but was not strong in the rooms- had to go outdoors into the common area to get a strong signal.

Prós: Nice and helpful staff. Thank you girls.

Prós: I loved the hotel decoration which is like a tropical garden, very secluded and quiet. I had a wonderful welcome from the Receptionist lady on my arrival which was in the evening. She is highly professional and gave me all the tips about the hotel and excursions about the island. Many thanks as well the the man receptionist who was also very professional and gave me some extra tips on excercusions and trekking! I highly recommend this hotel for its confort, and its staff!

Contras: At least coffe, must be offered for breakfast

Prós: Great location, well equipped kitchen. Loved the house cats, they were so friendly!

Contras: Unfortunately we were there during a torrential downpour, our upstairs room started to leak from the roof and down the side of the walls due to the heavy rain, however, towels and a bin were provided for the leak.

Prós: Great location and good breakfast.

Contras: Rooms were very dated

Prós: Beautiful pousada. Excellent breakfast. Great service. SR. Wilson was excellent.

Contras: AC was a bit noisy. Internet in room weak.

Prós: Loved the pool, loved the breakfast, loved the location and loved how relaxed it was.

Contras: some things in the room were a little shabby

Prós: Poor choice and quality

Contras: Pool bar was built and never manned or available

Prós: The location is very convenient for life in island. Their facility like swimming pool is amazing.

Prós: Incredibly clean, pool, fridge in room, lovely hot showers, amazingly located. Cleaned the rooms and fresh towels every day - just all round great.

Contras: Didn't seem to speak English but that's more our fault for having terrible Portuguese! Breakfast a bit average.

Prós: The staff were really friendly and we had loads of fun watching Brazil thrash Costa Rica with them! Great pool and really clean rooms. Located 2 minutes walk from the dock, right in the town.

Contras: Rooms were quite small. Breakfast was quite limited.

Contras: The shower was too hot and the water pressure in the sink was too weak.

Prós: nice pool and centrally located in Abraão. Breakfast was nice and staff was very helpful. Beautiful property. Pousada has a generator which was nice when the rain caused power outages.

Contras: The air conditioner in the room was pointed at one corner so the rest of the room was still pretty warm. Wi-fi works well by the pool but not in the rooms. There's also a swim up bar but no one was ever there to actually serve drinks?

Prós: Fantastic little Pousada just minutes from the main ferry terminal, with plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance. Great breakfast, nice clean rooms, fantastic staff and a lovely private swimming pool as well. Would definitely recommend this to anyone considering it!

Contras: Bit of building work going on next door but only during daylight hours so really no distraction at all.

Prós: I booked this pousada for my friends - I had already stayed there once myself Super nice staff, and place - It has a nice garden, it's quiet. The rooms are quite spacious and super clean The breakfast is generous and super good !

Prós: Lovely garden, clean rooms, comfortable bed, great air con, nice breakfast, quiet but close location.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Very relaxed and easy going atmosphere. Lovely garden and lounge are. Great staff. Very helpful with local knowledge.

Prós: The backyard of the pousada is amazing, it is what I most enjoyed of it. The deco of it is impecable, it has a place where you can meditate (read in my case), sourranded by nature and trees, hearing birds sing. The location is very nice, it is near the beach side and city center but far enough so that there is not much noise to rest, perfect!. The staff is very nice and helpful, always willing to help out and make you feel confortable and welcome.

Contras: Eventhough the room was confortable enough, it was a little dark. The rooms downstars are in from of the yard were passangers walk by, so there was not much room for opening the windows to allow more light without loosing privacy. Nevertheless, I did not mind this since I was never at my room and all the other good things of the pousada compensate by far this issue.

Prós: Everything was great. Breakfast, bedroom, staff, location in Abraao

Prós: First of all, people are welcoming and the location is great: 3mn walk from the beach, 5 from the boat dock and 2 from a great restaurant, Sorrentinas. Rooms are simply furnished but large and very comfortable. The small inner garden is simply magic.

Contras: Nothing of real importance

Prós: Very clean and friendly staff

Contras: Bathroom window didn’t close very minor

Prós: The breakfast was amazing. The garden is awesome and wonderful for relaxing. The staff is helpful and friendly. Rooms are clean and spacious.

Prós: Nice place, clean and well located by the main town. The garden is a nice touch.

Contras: Missing some nicer touches, could definitely set up a tea/ coffee area for rainy days. There a festival styled bracket system for security - feels a little unnecessary and haven’t experienced this anywhere else in Brazil.

Prós: Lovely staff. Nice, clean and spacious rooms. Beautiful garden!

Prós: In the heart of Abrao. Nice little terrasse.

Contras: Sometimes noisy (in the heart of Abrao...!)

Prós: Amazing location and views right on the beach! Breakfast beautiful and staff very friendly. Room simple, clean...definitely recommend room with balcony and hammock ❤️

Prós: Phenomenal location! Food at the lodge is superb and plentiful. Overall an excellent bang for your buck - Vanessa the receptionist was extremely helpful in arranging our transfer back to Rio airport and Marcos the manager is constantly checking in on you.

Contras: There was a small power outage on our last day of the visit so our aircon was cut off. Other than that, no problems whatsoever with our stay.

Prós: The location could not have been better, very close to the pier. The view we had from the room and the shower was super good and we could also spend time at a balcony down the first floor. Unfortunately the restaurant that was recommended by our guide book was closed but the breakfast were huge and great. Definitely consider that if you think that the night rate is too expensive. I highly recommend this place.

Prós: Location and food was amazing

Contras: Small rooms but perfect for 2 adults

Prós: Great location a block from the ferry pier, near other restaurants as well. Air conditioning worked, the upstairs is tastefully decorated, breakfast was cooked to order. Lovely harbor view from our balcony.

Contras: Bed frame was a bit shaky and squeaked. On a Saturday night, there was partying outside until 3am.

Prós: Ideally located hotel above a lovely restaurant at the end of the ferry pier. Rooms were lovely spacious and clean. Front rooms have a lovely view of the harbor area and the sunrises are incredible. Very close to trails for the beaches, taxi boats and rest of the town. Breakfast is absolutely brilliant. Everything served to you with a big choice. Coffee and fresh fruit v good. Loved it so much I stayed another night.

Contras: Being right in town and at the pier it’s very noisy with all local pubs and restaurants but rooms are fairly sound proof. Part of the charm.

Prós: Clean place, great location and helpful staff.

Prós: I would only book the rooms with ocean view and balcony (there are two with a balcony and two without). All other rooms face away from the beach. This really was a highlight, hearing the waves and waking up to the impressive harbour view. Breakfast was also great and you can have dinner and drinks as well. The pousada also takes credit cards, so cash is not needed.

Contras: The weather was excrutiatingly hot and humid, so thankfully there is an air-conditioner (in the room with a view and balcony). It is also right next to the wharf, so perfect for transfers. All in all, a positive experience, would recommend.

Prós: Location was great- right next to the pier which was helpful for trips! Room was nice and clean and comfy bed!

Contras: Slight smell from the bathroom but was not a huge problem!

Prós: +breakfast +clean room and bathroom

Contras: -construction works in neighbourhood -breakfast only from 8:00 am

Prós: This Pousada was built and is managed with great care and attention to details. Bruno was very welcoming, helpful and provided many tips about the island, which made our stay really perfect. Many thanks !

Contras: No suggestions for improvement excepting making the kitchen a little more practical for multiple people to use and also sorting the recyclable waste, yet both points are already in process. With the new kitchen, it will become even better.

Prós: The room and the bathroom are recently renovated and decorated simply but with taste The view from the bed and the cosy balcony is really nice, you really feel in nature and away from the main street The bed was very comfy and the room overall had a very cozy feeling to it

Contras: It was not a problem for us but like everyone said the way to come to the hotel is quite steep! It is maybe 10min walking from the main street and 5 going up. You end up there without breath but its worth it!

Prós: All is perfect !

Contras: up and down stairs because it was slippery because of the rain

Prós: Great place to stay in Abraão, elegantly decorated and comfortable rooms.

Contras: Currently no breakfast is served, and the shared kitchen can get crowded in the morning.

Prós: Very nice pousada: friendly staff, delicious breakfast, hammocks available :-)

Prós: Nice and clean rooms with a beautiful view! The Breakfast is really good.

Contras: We had some rainy days and it was a strange smell in our room that they explained come from the tree in the room when it gets wet... they helped us to change room but not with the same view though.

Prós: The daily room service was great, the room was very clean. Wifi was great! Air con was great and silent so you could use it while you slept. The room was quiet and the shower was a rain shower so very nice.

Contras: The beds were extremely firm and the room smelled very musty. We booked it due to the great breakfast and upon arrival were told breakfast was not being offered during winter, but we were given some money back. It’s a bit of a hike from the wharf but location is beautiful in the trees!

Prós: We loved the cabaña because it was so comfortable and private. Everything was clean, attractive, and seemed new. The grounds were full of beautiful plants and cute cats.

Contras: The staff was not very friendly or helpful and seemed to ignore us for the duration of our stay even though there were few other guests. The location was a little far, but was no problem for us because we liked being out of the center of town.

Prós: Very friendly staff, good location, clean and cozy room

Prós: The breakfast was delicious and the staff was so nice and helpful

Prós: Breakfast was really good, location is good and it is clean.

Contras: Wi-Fi at some point didn’t work in the room, just need to reset the router. I did it (twice) online and worked. Staff doesn’t speak english. The shower wasn’t hot 2 out of 4 times in the morning, but it was still ok and warm enough.

Prós: Good location, friendly staff, comfortable bed and great shower. Good value for money. Breakfast is simple, but good enough. The place has a generator in case of a blackout, that seems to be pretty common in the island.

Contras: the mattress cover was broken, the fridge dirty and the air conditioner was not working. after reporting these things the staff has arranged everything.

Prós: Passionate hospitality, Nice breakfast, Calm neighborhood

Prós: 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.

Contras: Everything was great!

Prós: 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.

Prós: Very homely and friendly in a quiet but central location. Free coffee and cake early evening. Cute cats in the area

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Very, very nice and helpful people who work there. Just minutes away walking from the beach, very close to restaurants and shops... Clean, pretty, amazing value for money.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Staff friendlyness and ability to take shower after check out, (I dived in morning, showered, then got ferry back to mainland)

Contras: Didn't realise there was a air con unit in room, so had quite a hot night. Had left fan on to cool the room but had been turned off.

Prós: Breakfast ok for a pousada; central location on the main street; the room was clean.

Contras: - Internet very poor; - Smaller room than advertised; - Not a single English word so zero communication or interaction with the host...anyway the host was rarely around so it would have been difficult to get help or reccommendations; - Serious security concerns...if you want to get ur room cleaned you have to leave your room key in an open box...so anyone (including someone from the street - as the pousada door is not locked during the daytime - could get your key and access your room to steal your belongings (no safe in the room!). After your room is cleaned they put your keys in the same box...so again anyone can take your keys...not to mention that after cleaning the room the ladies leave the room windows open...so keys are not needed if one wants to steal your stuff! Incredibly reckless attitude by the owner and the staff...they MUST change this whole room cleaning process! - As the main street is not paved it's really hard to carry a heavy trolley on a sand/dirt road...it would be nice if they offered a luggage transfer from the pier...like other pousadas do...but clearly they lack the cuatomer care :( - the shower provides hot water only if you use the shower at very low volume/flow of water...if you want a stronger flow the water will be almost cold - no hair dryer in the room but they provided one upon request -AC very noisy like all over in Brazil but in this case you really feel like you sleep in a helicopter if the AC is on during the night; Overall: average bed and breakfast (which was somehow expected) but with serious room security issues and with a total impossibility to communicate with foreign guests which made the whole experience pretty unpleasant and very "cold".

Prós: Staff is helpful and nice, mostly they don't speak English, but we understood each other somehow :) the location is good, Abraao is small. The breakfast is nice.

Contras: We stayed there for 3 nights and they didn't clean the room during our stay, but when we asked them to change us towels they did.

Prós: Just a 3 min. walk from the port, in front of one of the supermarkets. Near to bars and restaurants. Big breakfast with everything you need, also coffee and cake in the afternoon. The room was spacious, with a big bathroom and fridge. I would definitely recommend it!

Prós: Great staff, super friendly and helpful. Great breakfast and afternoon coffee and cake. Great shower (gas, not electric). Comfortable beds. Great location, right in front of a grocerie store and super close to all you need, but quiet. Great fruit trees next to the breakfast area, we eat fresh fruit off the tree every day!

Contras: Bathroom door wouldn't close unless we locked it (no big deal). Nowhere to hand clothes in the room, but we had shelves. Air Conditioning dripped, but they fixed it.

Prós: It was an awesome stay during 3 nights in low season. We´ve stayed in one of the upper rooms (number 9). Awesome basic breakfast with a nice variety of fresh fruits. Spotlessly clean room, neat mattress, great shower and an outstanding staff: polite, simple and very helpful. Trouble free checkin/checkout. Totally recommended. Great value for money!

Contras: The design of the wooden window frame doesn´t allow to seal it to avoid entrance of mosquitoes, but turning the ceiling fan on guaranteed a nice night of sleep. Noisy street, but it´s not Bugio´s fault if people like to yell instead of talking.

Prós: Very good breakfast!

Prós: Great location, good air conditioner in the room, comfortable beds.

Prós: Staff is very friendly and carrying. The property is clean. Breakfast is reasonable

Contras: No hot water in the shower. TV didn’t work. Rooms are very small for the price we paid (almost $200 US per night)

Prós: The staff were fantastic, cleanness and friendliness are legendary.

Prós: The food and location

Prós: Breakfast

Contras: Power generator in the graden!

Prós: Beautiful peaceful location. Hearty breakfast Complimentary kayaks beautiful sea facing rooms

Contras: No back up generator - electricity kept going out Hotel restaurant not as great

Prós: The rooms The private beach area with sun loungers The view Good transfers hourly to the town if you want a change in eve. We did this second night as didn't fancy another pizza and didn't want to pay £20 for prawn pasta.

Contras: It was an amazing place! Beautiful beach and lovely rooms however I didn't feel the eating area reflected this. It was indoors, boiling, food was average although we only ate one night as limited menu. Bit more ambience needed for 110 quid a night! Really just because there is nothing else to do! No TV in room also. We couldn't sit and play cards after dinner as we're getting eaten alive!! Maybe drinks offered outside would be good. We are travelling for 3 months and this was a treat with private beach a bit more service would be good

Prós: Perfect getaway, it combines the advantages of a very quiet and private place with the advantages of not being far from Abraao. Andresa, the manager, is extremely helpful and accommodating, she was really a caring host. The property is quiet, with your own beach just by your window. If you want to reach the city you can either take a walk (20 mins through the forest) or there is a free and easy boat service offered by the property (you can get the boat to pick you up until 2 am). This place was a dream.

Contras: Ilha Grande is a beautiful place but it is fundamental that you get a vaccination against yellow fever before you go there. Look around for information, you should do this 10 days before you travel.

Prós: Great staff, very beautiful beach

Prós: location, view

Contras: bathroom could be better

Prós: Everything, absolutely no need to go to Abraão. Fantastic water. Saw dolphin, turtle and Mantha in front of the beach. We had a nice, and unexpected, new year party.

Contras: The path to Portal do Sol from Abraão is not usable, part of it is under water. This probably increases privacy but we did not knew about it so had to go back.

Prós: The location was perfect, paradise for relax and the snorkeling close to the hotel was outstanding

Contras: The transfer service to the village was not well organized, whenever you needed the service it was not available. You have to call the guy to pick up you and was always late to the appointment

Prós: Everything about this hotel was perfect, the location the views the staff the little private beach the breakfast. Thanks for a great time

Contras: There was nothing not to like apart from the amount of steps up to the room

Prós: Staff was extremely helpful and nice. The pousada is located in an astonishing scenario and feels very integrated with the environment. It is a great place if you want to relax but still look to be close to the main village. I totally recommend it.

Contras: The price, just like everything else in Ilha Grande. Especially for meals.

Prós: My partner and I had the pleasure of staying at Pousada Portal Do Sol on Ilha Grande for my 30th Birthday between 17-19th July and this place is simply breathtaking. This place has friendly staff, all amenities and food was outstanding - the best we've had to far in our Brazil

Contras: Nothing - the place is perfection.

Prós: The overall atmosphere was really peaceful; hammocks in front of the door, relaxing area at the pool, flowers and plants everywhere! The staff was really nice and helpful. The breakfast was a-m-a-zing, everyday day they had different local specialties, cakes, fruit, etc. And snacks were provided in the afternoon.

Contras: The airconditioning didn't work properly, which made it very hot at night (especially in a family room). That is something to pay attention to. The road to the pousada is ok at night, but I wouldn't go there alone.

Prós: Overall really nice pousada, the breakfast was among the best ones we had in Brazil plus they offer an afternoon coffee. Very nice staff. Location is good (a bit off the main road). WiFi works really good in the community area.

Contras: Rooms were clean but the first room we had smelled a bit strange/mouldy which is a general problem on the island due to the humidity. Second room was much better.

Prós: Swimming pool and outdoor setting was enjoyable. Quiet and secluded location away from the hustle and bustle of the main area of the island.

Contras: Rooms are quite old and dated. Very noisy facilities - i.e fan, AC, refrigerator all make intermittent noises throughout the night, and you can hear these from other rooms. Balcony wasn’t as pictured - looked into an alleyway with a video camera looking onto it.

Prós: Location was very secluded and pretty. Breakfast was excellent and there is also tea and coffee around 17:30pm.

Prós: Excellent breakfast. Really delicious home baking. Friendly staff. Beautiful gardens.

Contras: The room was very small and the bathroom was tiny. Not enough facilities for storing clothes.

Prós: The staff were excellent, super helpful and friendly! The breakfast was superb and they have a courtesy tea/coffee in the evening, with toasts, biscuits and cake. The swimming pool area was always clean and welcoming after a day on day on the beach. It definitely make more pleasant!

Contras: The property is not as near the pier as we thought. The 15 min walk was only an issue when we had the bags.

Prós: Very nice and relaxed place, a little bit like a jungle lodge. Nothing luxurious, but clean, with friendly staff (family run), comfortable beds, AC and hot water in the shower. Good breakfast. Nice garden, we sat there in the evenings, had some drinks and played cards. Would happily go back there again. We were there in July however, not sure how it would be during the summer/tourist season. Too hot and too crowded??

Contras: There were no wardrobes in our rooms, so we had to store our clothes in our bags. OK for a couple of days though.

Prós: Breakfast was excellent. The staff was very nice and helpful. The garden was very beautiful. The location of the hotel was very convenient, far from the noise but close to all the important things to enjoy Isla Grande.

Contras: There was not enought place to keep clothes in the room and to hang wet clothes for the following day.

Prós: Great breakfast!

Prós: The atmosphere of the accommodation was very homey and comfortable. The staff were really friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the breakfast and afternoon tea both really delicious! The accommodation was well cared for and clean.

Prós: 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.

Contras: Nothing. It was great!

Prós: This was one of our worst hotel experiences ever! Staff didn't speak any English, hotel was really expensive, room smelled like urine, the toilet didn't work and couldn't flush (we couldn't ask for help since they didn't speak English), there was no running water for a long time, the Wifi was really bad, room not clean. Overall not a nice hotel!

Contras: The location. Close to the beach but also away from the "centre" of turists.

Prós: We have been there for the second time already and we still adore this place! We haven't seen a more beautiful place in Brasil so far!

Prós: What is there to like in a place where they steal from you and it’s so dirty you get scabies?

Contras: This is by far the worst place I have been too. They opened my suitcase which was locked with a lock, went through all my staff, stole a very important medicament and I think some cash. When the receptionist told the landlady she said she would not believe me because the maids had worked for her for 14 years, despite the fact that they had broken the lock hole and it was so clear. I went to the police and filed a formal complaint in case my credit card is cloned. I forwarded the police report and the picture of my broken suitcase to Booking but got no reply. Note that the place is so dirty that I got scabies and had to receive cortisone injections. I left 2 days earlier and the day I left my bathroom was filled with dead flies and other dead bugs! The scene looked like a satanic move. HORRIBLE

Prós: Awesome room great breakfast and super warm people

Contras: Nothing

Prós: EVerything was fantastic.

Contras: The generators on the island come on from time to time to keep the electricity going. It's annoying but better than not having electricity.

Prós: The personnel is very very friendly. They are doing great job and are above average helpful. The garden with all the birds is relaxing and nice. Having breakfast there was awesome.

Contras: The breakfast menu should be changed. Instead everyday there were the same several products to eat with one or two exceptions. If you do not like sweets, you are condemned to choice between 4-5 products (like scrambled eggs, cheese, white cheese, ham, sausages) which did not change (during 6 days of my stay). I was tired with that just because in my prior hotel the options were exactly the same :)

Prós: Good breakfast, friendly people, nice garden with lots of birds.

Contras: When we entered the room for the first time there were about 20 (!) mosquitos flying around, especially in the bathroom. This bathroom was a bit run down too.
