Hotéis em Vila do Abraão

Prós: Excellent breakfast and quiet location yet close to the center

Contras: Fairly expensive

Prós: The garden was beautiful, the rooms were comfortable and it was very well located, walking distance to all that you need. The breakfast was fantastic, lots of options!

Prós: It’s a very nice quiet place. The room are quite big. And the breakfast is fantastic. The location in town I tought was perfect, central and relaxed.

Prós: Good room, comfortable bed and the best shower I’ve had in South America with piping hot water. Fan and aircon in the room although we didn’t use/need latter. Very good breakfast, fresh and lots of choice. Lovely location but also quiet. Beautiful garden setting for the rooms as well. Also after check out you can leave luggage and then return and use shower/towels which is so convenient and let’s you make the most of your last day if you have a late transfer/bus. Nice family and some of them speak English which is helpful. Would 100% stay again. We loved it and also the island.

Contras: The plug sockets are different to Rio, not the guest house’s fault but be aware. None of our plugs worked in these sockets. They kindly lent us several adaptors but only one worked which we rotated between three of us. WiFi not great but think this is an island problem rather than the guest house.

Prós: The attentive staff, nice facilities, a comfortable room and a beautiful garden.

Prós: Great attention. The staff was very kind and the overall place was really nice

Prós: Very cozy, quiet place. Nice staff, the owner is very helpfull. It is close to the pier where you can easily take a boat and go to the best beaches in Ilha Grande. If you are into meditation and yoga, the Pousada's garden is made for this.

Prós: Staff and facilities were great.

Prós: Breakfast was good, had many options and also atleast 4 different fruit. Room and bathroom were very clean. After checking out you could get a shower in a spare bathroom before catching the boat.

Contras: Payment process could be improved.

Contras: Just okay. Rooms not very nice. Breakfast OK but not more. Staff speaks no english.

Prós: Everything was great.

Contras: The stay was amazing! Muito Obrigado.

Prós: Everything

Prós: Very kind personnel, good location and delicious homemade breakfast

Contras: Nobody speaks English, no storage/wardrobe in room

Prós: Clean, quiet, good location near the beach and the jungle.

Prós: Breakfast could be bigger

Contras: Really nice and cozy

Contras: The WiFi didn’t work in the room, just in reception area; and I asked for a shampoo and they haven’t any .

Prós: The staff were very friendly and helpful, no queries or requests were seen as a problem. The breakfast was really great - we stayed for 4 nights and it was varied, not repetitive at all. The grounds are beautiful and maintained daily. The chalet itself was great and cleaned to a high standard. The location is good, the walk to the main area was quick but not so close that you could hear lots of noise (we were there over a national holiday so there were lots of people on the island for parties!). The Pousada had its own trolley system (manned by staff) to carry suitcases to the ferry (great for us as we were on a long trip and had a few bags), which saved us having to contact someone in advance. We had quite a late ferry crossing booked but could keep our bags on the premises and relax in the grounds after we checked out which was a bonus.

Contras: It's difficult to think of what I didn't like - so instead is a small suggestion; if there could be an option to keep the same towels for the next day to save on washing that would be great - but the pousada is pretty ecologically aware and environmentally-friendly in lots of other ways so this is a minor comment.

Prós: Loved the location and the jungle feeling, all the staff were very friendly and breakfast had loads of choice.

Contras: We had the 2 bed chalet, horrible smell in the room, very dark and wobbly old bunk beds. Didn’t want to spend any time in the room.

Prós: Breakfast was good quality compared to other options I saw on Ilha Grande, nice fruit and fresh bread every day. The cabins felt quite private. Set back from the main town so was nice and quiet. Coffee and cake at 5pm was a nice touch.

Contras: The rooms were very small, the pool was not impressive and very overchlorinated. Some of the outside areas could do with being tidied up/gardened. Expensive for what it was, but that might be the island location.

Prós: We loved the atmosphere. It’s like a small tropical garden with that cute chalets. Breakfast is really good and eggs are prepared fresh upon request. The chalets are cozy. We would def. recommend this Pousada and will come back!

Prós: Natural environment

Contras: Pipe smell in the toilet

Prós: Tropical rainforest view

Prós: Great location, friendly helpful staff, comfortable room.

Prós: Excellent location ,on the beach Nice and clean room Excellent and fresh breakfast All the facilities (AC, TV, seif) Very friendly and cooperative staff

Contras: Lack of mosquito nets on the windows

Prós: Excellent hosts. Wonderful beach and water view. Nice breakfast.

Contras: Ground floor room so if enjoying the view less privacy

Prós: The staff were excellent, supplying GF biscuits and allowing us to hang out when it was raining. Room faced the beach and was very clean.

Contras: It was expensive for what it was and the breakfast provided didn’t reflect the cost either.

Prós: Beachfront location Super Friendly Staff Great Breakfast Very Clean

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

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

Prós: 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!

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

Contras: nix

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

Contras: 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.

Prós: Meme was amazing, she was so helpful, and knew so much about the island. Plus she had great tips and connections to make sure we got the most out of our stay. The location is amazing! Literally on the beach, beautiful views, not smack bang in the middle of town, but a short 5 min walk to restaurants.

Contras:

Prós: - 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

Contras: - AC only available at a surcharge

Prós: Good facilities and very gracious hosts.

Contras: Slightly on the expensive side.

Prós: 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

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

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

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

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

Prós: 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.

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

Prós: Great breakfast and very nice staff!

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

Prós: Staff is very friendly and helpfull

Prós: 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.

Contras: 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.

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

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

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

Prós: 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.

Contras: Nothing

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

Contras: 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.

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

Contras: 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 !

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: Good breakfast, comfortable hammocks on the terrace, nice green garden around the hotel

Contras: Hard pillows

Prós: Situated in beautiful gardens 10 minutes from the busy pier area of Abraão. Very peaceful and relaxing surroundings. The host was friendly and happy to give advice on good places to eat or walking trails nearby. The room was perfectly adequate, clean and with air con. The shower room was a bit tight but that is just a small detail. The host advised that this room will be upgraded soon however I would be happy to stay there again anytime. Lovely buffet breakfast. A most pleasant stay.

Contras: Nothing!

Prós: Clean, beautiful, excellent breakfast, calm.

Contras: Little far and hilly from the beach if you have heavy bags.

Prós: Everything about that place. Great location, close to jungle, not far from Abraão town center. Beautiful view from balcony. Clean rooms, great bathroom. Tasty breakfasts with many local fruits. Best host, which didn't include costs of night of our friend, which couldn't arrive on island. It's a best value for the price. Can't wait to come back to Pousada Albatroz!

Contras: Nothing, it was a shame that we booked there only 2 nights...

Prós: Atmosphere, location, delicious breakfast, beautiful garden, cats and eco friendly attitude (trash recycling).

Contras: Would be nice to get a tag for the door if cleaning is not needed

Prós: The breakfast is awesome! Exquisit and exotic fresh Fruits, bread, scrabble eggs, cheese, good coffee and every day a new super delicious cake. Location is just meters away from the tropical forest and 5-8 minutes walking to the beach. My girlfriend and i had a great time and would stay here again.

Contras: Everything just perfect!!

Prós: The Albatroz Pousado is a terrific pousada owned and managed by a very competent sister (Danielle) and brother (Bruno) team who alternate at the Pousada. They have invested in upgrading the physical installations, and plan to continue to do so. The newer rooms have brand new air-conditioners and overhead fans and small refrigerators and plenty of electrical outlets for your kids to recharge their digital devices. The walk to the Pousada is relatively short walk from the pier and center of the Vila de Abraão on a packed sand road culminating in a modest incline up a stone paved road. Those with heavy luggage might want to hire one of the many "carreteiros" to transport your suitcases up the the pousada. Coming down is relatively easy. Breakfast is very good (as previous reviewers have noted). There are plenty of hammocks to rest on amid the nicely landscaped grounds (lot of bromelia). There is also a communal kitchen and refrigerator for those who want to prepare some meals or snacks at the Pousada. Danielle's suggestion to hike to the natural pool (Poção - Trail T1) was appreciated.

Contras: Our 4 day -three night stay at the Pousada was perfect; there really wasn't anything to criticize.

Prós: Very nice and clean, cosy place surrounded by jungle. As we had some rainy days we really enjoyed the hammocks and that the room was spacious to relax in. Breakfast was good with yoghurt and fresh fruits although also only some really white bread. The staff was very welcoming and helpful.

Contras: The bread and the juice at the breakfast weren’t the best

Prós: 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.

Contras: 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

Prós: 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

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

Prós: A ilha é linda e os funcionários atenciosos, apesar dos donos serem muito mal educados

Contras: Propaganda enganosa! Fomos destratados pelos donos do lugar! Nao voltaria nunca mais! Tudo é muito mais caro em relação ao resto da ilha que já é cara

Prós: The location and beach is beautiful.

Contras: 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.

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

Contras: 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.

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

Contras: 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.

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

Prós: 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.

Contras: 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.

Prós: The staff was really friendly!!

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

Contras: 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

Prós: 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.

Contras: 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.

Prós: Incredible hospitality

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

Contras: Nothing particularly.

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

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

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

Contras: 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 .

Prós: Very friendly owner, great breakfast

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

Prós: The location is central but quiet.

Contras: unfriendly staff. Very unmotivated. Breakfast quality medium well. Pousada didn't answer my question via email. Construction noise from 9am closeby

Prós: The staff were amazing! Friendly, helpful and cleaned the room regularly. The room was clean, the shower was hot enough, the wifi was consistent and the breakfast was great.

Contras: There were too many beds in the room, which made the room seem crowded. There was no nightstand, no chair, no lamps in the room.

Prós: We had breakfast...There was possibility to leave our luggage in the reception after checking out.

Prós: The breakfast was awesome.

Contras: The room wasn't very clean and the bathroom number 6 was not smelling good.

Prós: Location is great, chalets are sweet, local community and Diego are very welcoming, boat transfer is very easy, tours are at an affordable price and we were lucky to be the only guests there do it was like a tailor made holiday

Contras: Dogs barking at night very near the chalets made sleeping very uncomfortable. There are quite a lot of mosquitoes and no mosquitoe nets are provided which is a real shame as it is really uncomfortable if you haven't brought any lotions with you. No water bottles offered, a complimentary tray would be a plus especially on arrival. Breakfast is quite basic and there is no cold milk for cereals...

Prós: 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.

Contras: Nothing

Prós: Amazing Staff and good breakfast.

Contras: Facilities are outdated and need some refurbishment.

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

Contras: Nicest poussada I seen on the island.

Prós: 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.

Contras: 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

Prós: Excellent! Highly recomended!

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

Prós: The garden

Contras: 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.

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

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

Prós: 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!

Contras: 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.

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

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

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

Prós: Well locaded and friendly staff

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

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

Contras: - 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

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

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

Prós: 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.

Contras: 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.

Prós: Great location. Quiet but close to town.

Contras: 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.

Prós: Good location, walking distance to pretty much everything in the town. The staff was helpful and professional even though they spoke very little English. Very clean rooms, good room service. Good breakfast. Quiet.

Contras: Rooms are a bit small. Poor English of the staff. A toaster would make breakfast even better.

Prós: The breakfast

Contras: 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.

Prós: Location, very friendly staff, excellent breakfast

Contras: Very weak Wifi

Prós: Location, just overlooking the sea.

Contras: 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.

Prós: Location

Contras: No room service, air condition was old

Prós: Location

Contras: Staff not really helpful. No information.
