We stayed here for 6 days with our 2 boys (aged 6 and 4). What a dream waking up and looking out through palm trees to the sea, the boats, the beach. Our room was spotless, towels changed everyday, breakfast was great ( soft boiled eggs a treat). Gerald and his staff care about their guests. It's a lovely friendly... More

I read some of the reviews on the Pousada before going there and had a positive impression on the place. What I found out later was that the hotel only provides good service when the owner is around, because the team is extremely unsuited and definitely not qualified for the job. They had no idea how to turn on the... More

A lovely place right on the beach, a very short walk into the town... and more importantly a short walk with your cases from the harbour down the beach. The owner, Gerard is a frenchman with a superb knowledge of the area and is very helpful (with a great dry sense of humour!) Rooms are nice and clean, with a... More

My experienced in Iha Grande could not be better without staying at Manaca. The owner Geraldo is a lovely person, very helpful and knows everythng about the region. He helped me finding a boat to cross from the continent to Ilha Grande at 10pm! Breakfast is fresh, complete and very Brazilian. Full of tropical fruits, juice, strong coffee :) ,... More

We had a really nice few days at Manaca. It's in a great location - right on the beach front and only a short walk from the main town on the island (Abraão). This means you won't have to walk far with your cases etc... when you want to check in! It also means you're close to the town for... More

I stayed here for 3 nights with my daughter in January 2012, and was just back again in October, 2012 with all four of our girls for 6 nights. The pousada sits directly on the beach not far from the ferry dock and is very charming. The rooms are somewhat rustic but perfect for the setting. We had second floor... More

Pousada is located on the beach, 5 minute walk from the ferry. We had the room on the ground floor with 'ocean view'. Very nice room with lots pf space and a safe. Breakfast was very nice as well. Walking the Lopez Mendez trail is worth the effort.

Stayed here November 2011. A better room became available and Gerard kindly moved us. Very relaxing spot right on the beach, easy walk to the ferry and easy access to walkways on the island. Breakfast was one of the best we had during our month in Brazil, fresh fruit, eggs, cakes and great coffee. Room was clean and had a... More

Pousada Manacá is a cozy and charming place. Excellent rooms, delicous breakfast, a refreshing shower and the owner Gerard is a great guy. It's in a very practical location since it's close to the main atractions in Vila do Abraão. I'll surely return! Soon, hopefully.
