I could not recommend this place more highly!!! We stayed in a room with a balcony with a hammock (big plus). The rooms were really clean and has both a fan & airconditioning. It's on a fantastic location, close to Abrao town but with no noise. The breakfast is great and there's tea & coffee & cake available in the... More

I stayed four days in that inn, very comfortable, great location in nature. The people at reception is very freindly and speaks English. Rhena helped me a lot. The Inn is serving a very tasty breakfast and also a four-hour-clock coffee with snacks in the afternoon. The surrounding is quite, nevertheless there are only a few steps to the centre... More

What we liked the most in this hotel was the way in which it blended in with the wonderful island in which it is located. Built with reliable wood, surrounded by a lush tropical garden, in the “outskirts” of the small village of Abraao (thus, even more quiet and peaceful than the rest of the village), this is the perfect...

Very friendly welcome from the staff which you can't fault, they gave us cold drinks when we arrived (much needed) and gave us some information as to what to do/where to go. The room however was tiny and dark and the bed was old and very uncomfortable. The thin walls also mean you can practically hear the people next door... More

This Pousada was amazing. Right in the moment you walk in you are impressed of how nice and green it looks. It reminds you of the Jungle Book storyline. Actually, I didn't know anything about this location. I was in Ihla Grande for a Sustainability Research (Pace University project) and this Pousada ended up being one of the greenest that... More

I stayed in this Pousada for 5 nights and had an incredible time! From the moment we arrived, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, much more than ANY place I've stayed before (and I've been travelling quite a lot). The rooms had their own balcony and hammock, a safe, nice bathroom and AC + ceiling fan. Tropical forest surrounded... More

We made our reservation via the site called hotels-ilhagrande.com. And it was beyond our expectations! The pousada is situated just a little out of the city centre. It is really quiet and you can enjoy the beautiful birds in the intensely green garden around your cosy room. We liked everything; the breakfast, the music, the bathroom, it is all really... More

We found a small paradise next to a stream on the Big Island . An amazing place with amazing people . It has the luxuries of a 5 star hotel in a bargain or good price. It is a small area of conservation of the island also with its gardens and foliage around it. The gap in language may have... More

Just Awful! As soon as we arrived at Riacho dos Cambucas, we (three adults) knew it was impossible to stay there. The smell of urine in room #7 (our room) was overwhelming. To make matters worse, the owner tried to say that it was the smell of the wood being wet. The smell was so strong that it literally made... More
