Guest Reviews

• Till (10/5): Comida e servico maravilhoso, super limpo tudo funcionando. Super indico! - Comida e servico maravilhoso, super limpo tudo funcionando. Super indico!
• Bernardo (10/5): Recomendo a todos!!! - Recomendo a todos! Pousada feita por pessoas da mesma família é muito gentis! Anteciparam o café da manhã pra nós por conta do horário do barco. O chuveiro poderia ser melhor. No mais, foi tudo ótimo.
• Ane Elen (10/5): -
• Allanah (10/5): Paradise made extra special with the best hospitality - Caio and Marlucia place is truly paradise. It was an absolute pleasure to stay relax and recharge at ponta da Barca. A great restaurant right on the beachfront with cozy accomodation that really made us feel we were away from the world. One of the major highlights is Caio and Marlucia’s hospitality which made you feel like part of the family and truly welcomed. It really made our stay extra special! We cannot recommend this place more highly! True paradise 😊
• Géraldine (10/5): Parfait - Accueil parfait le propriétaire et sa maman sont très serviables et gentils. La cuisine faite maison est délicieuse. Le dîner les pieds dans le sable très romantique. Conseils de visites et mise en relation rapide avec les bateaux Mitigeur de douche un peu capricieux à régler mais c est la joie des îles
• Stijn (10/5): -
• ambre (10/5): un petit paradis - Nous ne pouvons que recommander ce petit coin de paradis. Nous avons été merveilleusement accueillis par Caio, sa mère Marlucia, ainsi que toute leur équipe, avec une gentillesse et une attention rare. Nous vous conseillons vivement de choisir l’option demi-pension : nous avons rarement aussi bien mangé de notre vie. Les plats sont locaux, généreux, préparés avec des produits frais, et absolument délicieux. Les cocktails méritent également une mention spéciale ! L’emplacement est idéal, propice au dépaysement et à la détente. Foncez les yeux fermés! nada
• Elizabeth (10/5): 5 star service, 5 star location, 5 staff food highly recommended - We loved Everything, about our room, the amazing and personally prepared breakfast, the hosts and all of the help they provide, it is just so special and it’s the only Pousada we will return to, the best in the Island, plus such amazing food in the evening, sea food and meat dishes to die for, you must go and stay at this special place Nothing it was all fantastic, if I wanted to suggest something, I would say some locally sourced shampoo in a small reusable pot in the bathroom but that’s it
• Angela (10/5): Traumlokation - Charmantes familiengeführtes Hotel, direkt am Strand, unglaublich gastfreundliche, warmherzige Betreiber. Traumlokation mit exzellenter Küche, tollem Frühstück und unglaublich guter Betreuung. Der schönste Hotelaufenthalt ever! Wir danken Marilucia und Caio für Ihre Gastfreundschaft und Fürsorge!
• Jose luis (9/5): -
• Mario (8/5): Muito boa, voltaremos à ilha com certeza! - Em frente ao mar,o restaurante conduzido pela pousada. Atendimento e atenção excepcional do Caio! colchão da cama péssimo. A Tv nao funcionou. O barulho do ar condicionado.
• Milton (10/5): Fantástica, o atendimento do Caio e da Dona Marlucia espetacular - Localização, café da manhã
• Valentina (10/5): Peaceful stay on a secluded beach with lovely hosts - Our stay at Ponta da Buca on Praia Vermelha was amazing. The location is stunning: a small, secluded beach, very quiet and relaxing, perfect if you want to disconnect and enjoy nature. The property is very charming and just a one-minute walk from the arrival pier, which is extremely convenient. The on-site restaurant is good, and there is also another restaurant right next door, so you have more dining options despite the remote location. Caio and his mother are wonderful hosts: kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with great recommendations. A special highlight is the homemade açaí prepared by his mother, absolutely delicious. Boat tours depart directly from Praia Vermelha and are beautiful. Keep in mind that the property is not close to Abraão and taxi boat transfers are not cheap, but the peace and beauty of this place make it totally worth it. Highly recommended for a truly relaxing stay in Ilha Grande everything was perfect!
• rbraganca77 (10/5): - Hospitalidade, comida, localização Nada
• Amparo (10/5): -
• Junia (9/5): Home made, exquisite seafood, small scale and customised service. - Very friendly staff, personal treatment, small scale service, the guests truly feel at home. The restaurant is amazing. You just need to bare in mind that everything is custom made for each guest, so don't expect fast food. Everything is perfect.
• Ewelina (10/5): Perfect stay in beautiful Ponta Barca - We’re so happy we chose Ponta Barca for our stay on Ilha Grande. Probably one of the best places to stay on the island—thanks to its amazing scenery, quiet surroundings, and the fact that the beach is never crowded. The hosts were incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Their son speaks English, which made communication much easier. The food was absolutely delicious—real home-style cooking that felt like a meal made with love. Breakfasts were rich, varied, and full of local products, with something different served every day. Our room was spacious, with a large and comfortable bed, mosquito-screened windows, and even from the rooms in the back you can still see the sea. Everything was spotless, with daily cleaning. We also appreciated the option to borrow beach chairs and umbrellas. Getting to the accommodation was also very easy—by bus from Rio de Janeiro to Angra dos Reis, and then by the NATIGA boat directly to Ponta Barca. This place is a solid 10/10. Everything was done with care and professionalism, and we felt truly looked after throughout our stay. We wholeheartedly recommend Ponta Barca and will definitely return on our next visit to Ilha Grande.
• Frank (10/5): -
• Astrid (10/5): Heerlijk relaxen op een paradijselijke plek - Idyllische locatie aan het strand, gastvrijheid en het verrukkelijke ontbijt met verse specialiteiten zoals de bananentaart. Heerlijke gegrilde vis!
• Adam (10/5): -
• Genevieve (9/5): Magnifique séjour! Accueil extraordinaire. - Tout!
• Grappolini (10/5): -
• María Alejandra (10/5): Un lugar en el mundo lleno de paz - La vista, el desayuno, la comodidsd dd las camas, la ubicación, el personal Caio y su mamá, todo fue increíble Nads
• Taylor (8/5): gorgeous beach and great cuisine - Really great gem. Beach was busy but still really nice. Amazing breakfast and fantastic dinners. Room very spacious and owners nice. It can be a bit complicated to reach from Rio. Make sure you do your research on how to arrive. If solo traveling, note the food is for two and the price for one doesnt reflect half the price for one.
• Kathryn (10/5): Perfect, relaxing & picturesque - Wonderful hospitality. Staff were so kind and accommodating. The homemade breakfast each morning was delicious and so thoughtful. Setting up umbrellas and chairs on the beach each day was a nice touch. Only 2min walk from ferry. Room was comfortable and the view beautiful.
• Davide (10/5): Perfect hotel surrounded by nature - The hotel is not only very clean and very functional for a beach location surrounded by nature, but it also has a lot of charm. It is a family business and the staff is super-friendly and goes above and beyond to make the stay special. We've been very happy with everything.
• Joost (10/5): Very nice! - Beautifull location, clean rooms, good Wifi (through Starlink). And above all, great food. Nice every day changing breakfast, excellent dinner options. A lot of effort is put into preparing dinner. The food is not cheap, but that is the same everywhere on Ilha Grande (and this is what you can expect on an Island). Around praia vermelha plenty of options for trails, excursions and scuba diving. Nothing
• Katy (10/5): Wonderful stay. Couldn’t imagine a more wonderful accommodation. - Wonderful stay at this family run accommodation. It was clean, the service impeccable, and just wonderful local people who deeply care about their guests and their island. The breakfasts were also delicious. Nothing. Everything was absolutely perfect.
• Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional - We loved our stay here. Caio and Marlucia are extremely helpful and attentive. The food is great and they are lovely to chat too. Strongly recommend a quiet and relaxing stay in Praia Vermelha!
• Andreas (10/5): Superb poussada with family atomsphere - Caio and his Mother were very welcoming and kind. He waited at the pond to escort me to my room and helped with every piece of advice and service. The day-trips to the several destinations of the island are amazing, and there’s plenty of options for you depending also on the weather. I also enjoyed the food cooked by Caio’s mother, the delicious breakfast with tasty tapiocas and the dinners, especially the octopus with spinach is a must have!
• Jessica (10/5): An incredible stay in a beautiful place - We had an amazing stay at Ponta da Barca. The location is incredible, right on the beach, such thoughtful and attentive hosts and amazing food in the restaurant. Breakfast was also delicious, which we ate in a room overlooking the bay. Huge room with a comfortable bed, cleaned every day to a high standard. Lots of recommendations provided about things to in the area. Nothing!
• Afroditi (10/5): The highlight of our Brazil trip! Amazing!! - We adored our stay there!! Everything was just amazing, the rooms are simple and beautiful, with great views. Cleaned daily, hot water always, protection for mosquitos or flies (there were none during our stay). Caio and his family are absolutely amazing! They made everything possible to please and host us. The breakfast is fresh and super tasty. their home made açaí also a must have! Praia Vermelha is quiet and the perfect place to relax and disconnect. The ecosystem around is also stunning. Birds and animals in perfect coexistence with the people. We will be back! Thanks for everything!
• Robson (10/5): Our stay was very pleasant from checking to checkout. Caio and Marlucia were very helpful and thoughtful all the time. W - Everything, we loved it all. The owners and staff are great people! Nothing.

• Addik (9/5): Superb -
• Laura (10/5): it was a dram ! - We were very warmly welcomed from the beginning! We have enjoyed our stay very much it was all perfect! The owner speaks very good English and helped us with any questions! The food was an absolute dream! We can only recommend the accommodation!
• Roberto (10/5): Exceptional -
• Torben (9/5): Superb - The most cozy pousada with the best homemade and varied food on the island. We highly recommend their half board. Clean room with sea view to the bay where you can snorkel with turtles and eagle rays. The best thing about Ponta Da Barca is the wonderful people - the mum who rules the kitchen and the musician, the son, who more than lives up to his late fatters reputation as a fantastic host. We will come back one day. Everything was great.
• Ben (10/5): Exceptional -
• Damian (10/5): magical stay on ilha grande with wonderful hosts - we loved this place so much and were so sad to leave. it’s hard to know where to start. Marlucia Otávio Caio and Robson were so incredibly warm and kind and we left feeling part of the family after just 3 days. there pousada is outstanding right on the beach and the food is to die for. can’t recommend it enough.
