After reading the excellent comments about the Pousada O Pescador, I decided to stay. I think that whoever wrote those comments, or never been in a good hotel (hostel) or stayed in the room only to change clothes ... It is impossible to sleep with so much noise!

Been to Ilha Grande three times and the best place to stay is absolutely O Pescador Just love to sit on the balcony and enjoying the seaview. VERY nice staff and a VERY nice restaurant downstairs. See you again in February next year.
