Guest Reviews

• Victoria (10/5): Hermosa estadía - El lugar es espectacular, Praia de Palmas es simplemente hermosa e ideal para desconectarse. Además puedes llegar caminando a López Mendes. Las instalaciones son cómodas, en la playa hay un restaurante y una pequeña tienda. Recomiendo coordinar la llegada temprano y volver a Abrãao o Jacarei a eso de las 16-17 hrs que es cuando hay taxibote compartidos. Espero ansiosa poder volver.
• Gutavia (8/5): -
• Sofia (10/5): Hermosa - Nos gustó la naturaleza, el silencio, la playa palma es una de las más lindas de la isla, y el desayuno muy bueno. Es para ir dos noches, disfrutar de la playa palma y López Méndez (que se puede acceder por palma) y luego ir a hacer noche a abrao, los taxi boat son muy caros
• Iula (10/5): -
• Romina (9/5): Hermosa experiencia en Palmas - La ubicación y la vista son espectaculares, el personal muy amoroso y atento especialmente Silvia y Fernanda. Tenía solo luz blanca de techo y MUY fuerte. Recomiendo agregar una veladora con luz cálida en la habitación, para poder relajarse sin el foco del techo.
• Bruzda (10/5): -
• Eilin (10/5): -
• Eilin (10/5): Svært hyggelig personale og magisk beliggenhet. Et skikkelig paradis. -
• Pablo Kujman (7/5): - La vista de la playa. El muelle privado. La altura de escalones de escaleras. El wifi no llega a las habitaciones. No hay limpieza de habitación.
• Maria (6/5): There are better options where to stay on this beautiful island for the same price - The hotel is located on the beautiful island with an amazing nature and wildlife. The view from the rooms is breathtaking! We also really enjoyed breakfasts and the beach is only in one minute of walking However, there was an enormous amount of small ants in the room. Also the conditioner didn’t work at all, so we used an extremely loud fan that barely helped us to breathe in the night. To talk about toiletries, the hotel only provides two small pieces of solid soap (for three days, cause they only clean rooms once in this period of time). It’s hard to talk about stuff, cause there were almost none of them. The lady that meets the guests was really nice, but the lady in the kitchen is extremely rude and aggressive, she actually ruined the whole impression
• catalina (10/5): -
• Aline (9/5): Bom custo benefício e visual maravilhoso - O ponto alto dessa pousada pra mim é a localização e a vista pro mar. A enseada de Palmas é linda, com mar muito calmo, ótima pra relaxar e/ou ir com crianças. Só não indico pra quem tem questões de acessibilidade ou mobilidade, porque só se chega na pousada subindo alguns lances de escada. Os quartos são confortáveis, só não têm frigobar nem ar-condicionado por conta da falta de energia elétrica na ilha. Pra mim não fez falta, mas não sei se no verão faz muito calor. O café-da-manhã é simples, mas gostoso. Nós tivemos um enorme contra-tempo para chegar à Palmas sexta à noitinha porque o barco que havíamos fechado não apareceu. Embora não tenha sido responsabilidade da pousada, tentamos contato diversas vezes na sexta à tarde para avisar que não chegaríamos e tentar remanejar a reserva, mas não conseguimos. O telefone disponibilizado no booking não funciona e as mensagens enviadas pelo aplicativo também não foram lidas a tempo. Além da dificuldade de contato, achei que faltou uma sensibilidade dos donos, pois pagamos uma diária inteira sem usar, poderiam ter pelo menos oferecido um check out tardio no domingo ou algo assim.
• Lima (10/5): maravilhosa, já quero voltar! - A pousada é ótima, o quarto super confortavel e a vista é de tirar o folego! O café da manhã uma delicia também! As funcionárias são umas queridas, super solicitas e deram ótimas dicas sobre passeios e lugares pra comer tudo maravilhoso!
• Lara (8/5): - La vue, le petit déjeuner, l’emplacement (à proximité du port mais reculé du monde) Manque de réactivité de la part de l’hôte, ce qui était compliqué pour organiser nos déplacements (bateau taxi obligatoire).
• Alvarez Lastra (10/5): -
• Erika (8/5): Rápida mas bem aproveitada - A vista sem dúvidas impressionante. Local bem limpinho, café da manhã simples mas gostoso Como não há luz elétrica, não poder usar secador, chapinha e ferro de passar

• AgusPrieto (9/5): Excelente lugar, y ubicado para estar tranquilo. - La ubicacion es ideal. La vista a Praia Das Palmas es unica. La playa es muy tranquila y cuenta con dos restaurantes para comer tranquilo y barato. El desayuno del alojamiento es simple, pero muy bien hecho y presentado. El wifi, no tiene alcance a todo el hotel. Pero como el lugar es para desconectar, no importa.
• Roni (10/5): -
• Carlos (8/5): - La vista excepcional Tamaño de la habitación
• Diz (8/5): - La vista Increíble
• Teresa (10/5): !Maravillosa vista! - Tiene la mejor vista de toda la zona de Praia de Palmas. ¡Un paisaje maravilloso! Personal muy amable, buen desayuno.
• Susana (8/5): - Está muy bien ubicado, y el personal es muy amoroso Tuvimos mucha lluvia, quizás fue eso lo que hacia que la luz se cortara de día teniendo sólo a la noche, internet solo en el espacio de desayuno, no en las habitaciones. y muchas veces nos quedabamos sin agua caliente
• Rostyslav (10/5): - If you don't quibble over details, if you have an open heart, you'll see that this place is one of the best on the planet.
• France (7/5): établissement simple, beaucoup d’escaliers mais c’est ce qui fait aussi la vue. - Très belle vue face à la plage et la mer Les arrière des bâtiments mériteraient d’un peu plus de soin et nettoyage
• marie (10/5): EXCELLENT - PARTFAIT
• Leon (7/5): Alles in allem sehr toll - Sauber, schön, tolle Lage, nettes personal Wir haben die Superior Suite gebucht weil diese das einzige Zimmer mit Klimaanlage war. Bei der Ankunft wurde uns kurz und trocken erklärt dass diese nicht funktioniert. Diese Information hätte starken Einfluss auf die Wahl des Zimmers oder gar Hotels gehabt
• Metais (10/5): -
• Santiago (10/5): -
• Cindy (10/5): Parfait ! - Le seul inconvénient c’est qu’il n’y est pas de climatisation mais uniquement un ventilateur.
• Pablo (9/5): Extraordinaria estadía en un paraíso - La ubicación, el personal, un lugar increíble Algo de calor por las noches y sin aire
• Judith (10/5): -
• Alexandra (7/5): - Sehr gutes, vielfältiges Frühstück, sehr schöne Lage mit Ausblick auf die Bucht. Angenehm ruhig. Sehr nettes Personal. Das Preis-Leistungsverhaltnis ist für Ilha Grande OK, da hier die Preise allgemein hoch sind. Mein Einzelzimmer war sehr klein, es gab keinerlei Stauraum. Ein Moskitonetz am Fenster wäre hilfreich.
• Noemy (7/5): Funcionários bem simpáticos - Gostei dos funcionários, e o local mto bonito Acho q o quarto mto simples pelo valor, não foi ruim.
• Juani (10/5): - La vista es increíble realmente. Vale la pena levantarse a ver el amanecer
• Teresa (7/5): Uma boa estadia em um lugar lindo, mas onde tudo é muito caro. Os preços são pensados para gringos. - Café da manhã fraco e sem variação.
• Ribeiro (8/5): -
• Marcelo (3/5): - Praticamente nada! Chegamos no local não tinha ninguém para nos receber. Tive que aguardar até que consegui contato. Não tem limpeza diária do quarto. Não trocam toalha usamos por 3 dias a mesma não dando tempo para secar. A instalação é antiga sem conforto. Café da manhã muito limitado com apenas opção de 2 bolos e um pão. A reclamação pessoal só se dá pelo valor investido, não vale! Preço de hotel 4 estrelas. Não voltaria.
• Fernando Damián (7/5): Muy buena - El lugar nos encantó y la vista desde la ventana Todo estuvo bien
• Facundo (6/5): - La ubicación Hubo corte de luz a la madrugada, no tenía frígobar, la Internet es bastante inestable
• Fernando Javier (7/5): - Todo muy bien el lugar las instalaciones la playa no tanto pero cerca a 40 mts caminando esta la playa lopez mendez qué es la mas linda de la isla . Hermosa El wi fi en las habitaciones no hay y en la recepción intermitente. Un problema importante hoy en día
• Tais (10/5): -
• Anders (9/5): -
• Pauline (10/5): Incrível - O lugar foi incrível, as pessoas que trabalham lá são muito boas. Descansamos muito e agradecemos da vista incrível. Os cafés da manhã são maravilhosos. Muito obrigada Vanessa e Fernanda, já queremos voltar!! Tudo tava perfeito
• Sofia (9/5): -
• laure (7/5): Calme, au contact de la nature. - La position de la Pousada en fait un lieu unique, extrêmement calme et privilégiée. Le petit déjeuner sous le préau face à la vue est gourmand. Un robinet proposant de l'eau filtrée est à disposition des hôtes ainsi qu'un étendoir pour le linge. Le propriétaire est très sympathique et prêt à donner tous les conseils dont nous pourrions avoir besoin. Il organise des excursions pour les hôtes. Il reste très discret. Les bateaux taxis nous déposent directement sur le ponton de la Pousada. Sur la plage Palmas, 3 restaurants simples et deux minuscules épiceries. De la plage, partent 2 sentiers pour rejoindre dans la forêt d'un côté Abrao (45 minutes) et de l'autre Praia Lopes Mendes (1H30). Les ventilateurs dans les chambres mériteraient d'être révisés car bruyants, des moustiquaires ajoutés aux ouvertures. Il manque surtout un espace repos commun alors que des lieux existent. Il suffirait d'installer quelques fauteuils ou canapés. Les hamacs en photo n'existent pas.
• Francesca (7/5): Un bon séjour - Vue sur la mer à côté de la plage. Salle de bain à rénover.
• Gerard (7/5): - La ubicación y las vistas. Situado en plena naturaleza, nosotros nos cruzamos con una serpiente. Instalaciones muy viejas sin mantenimiento y sucio. Desayuno escaso.
• Ruth (9/5): Muito boa, com algumas ressalvas, mas nada que tenha apagado a experiência ótima de estar na pousada e em Palmas. - Muito limpo, bonito, em contato direto com a natureza. Funcionários e anfitriã muito educados E solícitos. Tem 2 limitações devido a localização da pousada, acabou a luz no meu quarto às 5h (não tem luz elétrica direta), e só no primeiro dia que consegui tomar banho com o chuveiro forte, nos outros foi pinga pinga (não sei se por conta das suítes ficarem no 3 andar).
• Martina (2/5): Noisy could not sleep at night - Location and owner Nearby to a camping where there was a techno music festival running for 4 days during New Year’s Eve
• Estefania (4/5): - La vista Se fue la luz y nunca lo solucionaron, no pudimos cargar los teléfonos, el baño es antiguo, el sendero para llegar al hotel no tiene iluminación
• Louis (6/5): - Wonderful location close to the beach Customer service and hospitality need to be reconsidered
• Federica (7/5): Highly recommend Praia de Palmas - The position one minute from the beach and that beach was truly great Bruna the owner was very kind and helpful, even in organizing our transfer from and to Rio No AC, only fan and it was very hot. It would have been fine if we had more electrical plugs to move the fan but we didnt so we had to sleep on the small beds that were uncomfortable It was a bit expensive but i guess it was just the period we went, during Christmas holidays
• NICOLAS CLAUDIO (9/5): Escenciales - Ubicación El ventilador no anda. No cuenta con aire No cuenta con heladerita Muchos mosquitos Ventana sin mosquitero.
• Álvaro (10/5): -
• Moleri (8/5): - La ubicación y la vista es excelente, limpio y lindo, la dueña y el personal de cocina muy buena onda!
• Luana (8/5): -
• Veronica (9/5): -
• Caleb (10/5): -
• arce (10/5): - La vista es increíble, desayunar ahí es mágico, hace 3 años consecutivos que voy al mismo lugar. Ilha grande, es un paraíso pero Palmas es mi lugar preferido. Me gustó todo.♥️🇧🇷
• Jennifer (9/5): - Beautiful location, good breakfast in the morning. The room was very clean. There is electricity through the whole day and night, as well as hot water. The staff are very friendly. Getting to the accommodation was difficult - the boat dropped us off on the beach and we had to carry our luggage up through the forest to the accommodation. However once we were there, everything was great. Please do your research beforehand with regard to how to get to Praia de Palmas. You must take a boat from Conceicao de Jacarei to Abrão, and then a further boat to Praia de Palmas and then carry your luggage up. It would be easier for you to take one boat from Conceicao to the private dock of Pousada Toca do Mar, which is what we did when leaving. Just ask around for the Taxi Boat staff and they will help you
• Pavla (7/5): - Krásné místo v zátoce s výhledem nad nádhernou pláží. Dobrá snídaně. Kousek od penzionu je prima restaurace na pláži. Doprava lodí z Abrao je velmi drahá. Ubytování je velmi basic, cena přitom zase tak nízká není. V pokoji tekla pouze studená voda. Na pokoji není k dispozici ani sklenička, talíř, nic z čeho by se dalo najíst nebo do čeho si nalít pití. V koupelně jsme měli šváby. V celém penzionu je jen pár velmi nepohodlných dřevěných židlí, delší sezení, např. večer, je na nich dost nepříjemné. Velmi slabá a nestabilní wi-fi. Spousta komárů, v pokoji ovšem žádné moskytiéry. Personál byl většinu času nepřítomen (obvykle tam někdo byl jen v době snídaně). Celkově by to mohlo být moc pěkné místo, kdyby ubytování bylo věnováno více péče a personál se o hosty více zajímal.
• Susanne (8/5): -
• Marion (7/5): - L’emplacement est idyllique, vue magnifique depuis la chambre (il faut prendre la vue mer) Ménage fait que partiellement, confort rustique
• Mervet (10/5): -
• Juanjo82Uy (10/5): Excelente. Segunda vez que vuelvo - Despertar, abrir los ojos y ver esa vista de ela bahía de agua azul profundo rodeada de palmeras y morros con mata atlantica. Los desayunos de Lucía!
• Candelaria (8/5): - la ubicacion con vistas a la bahia y el desayuno variado Definitivamente el colchón. Terrible. De espuma, gastado, apoyado sobre un tablon.
• Tabata (10/5): -
• Kévin (9/5): -
• Claudio (9/5): - Linda vista desde el dormitorio y la zona de desayuno. Amabilidad de su dueña.
• Robert C (10/5): Paraíso Escondido - Vista fantástica da praia e das montanhas desde o quarto, ambilidade de todo o pessoal, da Bruna, o Flávio, a Cheyene e a Lúcia. Rápido acesso à praia (3 minutos), Abraão, Pouso e Lopes Mendes acessíveis por trilha. Praia muito tranquila, com bares e restaurantes perfeitamente adaptados ao ambiente, com muito gosto. Silêncio absoluto à noite, só as ondas do mar batendo na praia.
• Eugénie (8/5): - Le lieu très calme, à l’abri des touristes ! Vue exceptionnelle depuis les chambres, et la terrasse! Moins facile que d’être à Abraáo mais beaucoup plus agréable! Compter un petit budget supplémentaire pour les déplacements
• Ismael (7/5): Amazing view but bad WiFi - The stunning view and the nice staff WiFi works bad and only in one place which is the dining room. Not enough space and furniture to organize clothes in the room
• Gabriel (8/5): -
• Tomas (9/5): Súper recomendable - Es un lugar tranquilo, aislado. Ideal para desconectar y muy lindo para ir en pareja. La vista desde la habitación y el desayunador es muy bella. Está cerca de lópez méndez y de pouso que son playas más anchas que palmas. Esta cerca de morango das palmas donde se come excelente. El personal es más que amable y te facilitan lo que necesites durante tu estadía. Lucia y Bruna fueron un amor y estuvieron siempre a disposición. El wifi es malo, no te podes fiar del mismo ante una emergencia. Te cobran 10 reales el agua caliente para el mate.
• Maïa (10/5): Incroyable ! - Tout
• Gabriela (10/5): Tranquilidade com vista para o mar e a mata atlântica - Ficamos hospedados 5 noites na Toca do Mar e adoramos a estadia. A Carol e sua família sao ótimos anfitrioes e nos sentimos em casa. O café da manha é saboroso, o quarto confortável e a vista é a melhor da praia. Recomendamos tranquilamente a Toca do Mar para ficar na praia de Palmas.
• Nati (10/5): Para quienes amen la naturaleza la traqnuilidad y estar alejados de ruidos- - excelente desayuno, y la atención. Si vas a parar varios dias recomiendo antes abastecerse en puerto de Abrao dado que en la parte de esa isla no hay locales comerciales ni servicios. Es muy tranquilo, una playa hermosa , excelente vista al mar y acceso a la playa. No es apto para quienes busquen salida nocturna o bares, a la noche solo podes disfrutar del mar traqnuilo , tiene una hermosa marina en la que puedes ver el atardecer. El centro es alejado del lugar, si vas con esa idea es perfecto.
• ALEJANDRA (10/5): - La vista, el desayuno y la hospitalidad de Carol, Gianna y Lúcia
• Pedro (10/5): - Vista incrível, atendimento impecável e ótima localização.
• Carina (7/5): Nice view, but bad service. - The view to the ocean was beautiful and the neighbourhood was very calm. We enjoyed the hot shower with good water pressure. The room was never really clean - not at our arrival and not after the daily cleaning. The service was not good, because the manager didn't find time to reply to my messages although we were the only guests on day 2 and 3. She didn't have any suggestions for a diving school. For the taxi boat we went to the nearby camping facilities because there were some employees who would help us. It is so easy to recommend a diving school or just provide some flyers of the diving schools. The breakfast was very simple. On the last day we didn't even get breakfast, because we had to leave at 06:15. It was impossible to give us some slices of toast, cheese and ham in the evening before, so we could have prepared some breakfast in advance. The manager said that the responsible lady would sleep at 6:00, so we cannot have breakfast. The manager was not capable of taking toast from the kitchen herself. Although we were the only guests by then, she never replied. The power generator is running from 18:00 - 06:00, so this is the only time when the light is working and you can charge your devices. A taxi boat from Palmas beach to Abraao takes 20 minutes and costs 300 Reais (same price independent on the people going).
• Jonathan (10/5): Beautiful location. Amazing hosts. Very romantic. - A beautiful setting. The view was awesome. The nearby restaurant was great and you could even order a nutella and banana pizza. Bruna and family are perfect hosts. Really special, delightful retreat. A privilege and joy to stay here. I highly recommend to everyone. The power was only available when the generator was on from circa 6pm-6am. But it wasn't that serious an issue.
• Irene (8/5): Wonderful staff and location can't be beat! - Breakfast was fine Infrastructure could be updated
• Lisa (9/5): Superb -
• Agathe (10/5): The pousada is calm, cosy, and very well located. Bruna and Flavio are so kind and arranging! - The pousada is calm, cosy, and very well located. Having seen different beaches around the island this one was our favorite. Bruna and Flavio are so kind and arranging! We also did a nice boat tour with Flavio. Really recommend!
• Stefan (8/5): Very good - Excellent location near the beach. Fumes from the Diesel generator entering my room at night.
• Hilario (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jacob (10/5): Thank you for a lovely stay at this beautiful location. Very nice spot in the middle of nature, but just 2 minutes to th - Thank you for a lovely stay at this beautiful location. Very nice spot in the middle of nature, but just 2 minutes to the beach, which is very peaceful compared to the more crowded spots on the island.
• Fatima (5/5): Great staff, no AC in the room as described whem booking. Breakfast was simple but good. - Great location. Quiet, great staff AC wasnt working. The mean generatir was broken. They tried a new generator but it wasnt enough to start the AC. Super hot in the room at night. Hard to sleep. A fan was available but it wasnt helpful. Generator was on over night and it was very loud.
• Dantas (3/5): Poor - No hot water durieng the whole stay, and the power went off during 12AM and 2AM turning the fan off in the middle of the night
• Enzo (8/5): Very good - Stunning room views, friendly staff, and the option to easily coordinate with the owner for boat bookings made the stay even better. Beautiful room with stunning views and friendly staff, but there are some drawbacks to consider. Wi-Fi reception in the top room is very poor, and the window and door lack proper security, though the area feels safe. Electricity is only available from 8 PM to 5 AM, which might not be an issue if you're focused on outdoor activities.
• Luca (10/5): Amazing stay - Great place to relax and log off. Friendly staff and does everything it says on the tin!
• Novella (9/5): All in all this place was amazing, and we’d come back in an instant! - Amazing view and unbelievable location. We stayed in the “penthouse sweet” at the top of the property. It had the best view and windows on two sides. As two tall men, we appreciated the enormous & comfortable king size bed, and large full size double shower. The staff were extremely friendly, and helpful. Flávio and Bruno were some of the warmest hosts we’ve ever encountered, going out of there way to help us feel welcome. The sisters Lucia & Carmen, made scrumptious breakfasts and were very responsive and helpful. There are honestly three small things that we didn’t like about the property that certainly wouldn’t keep us away, but night bother some more than others. I’d come back to this his place in an instant! 1. the noisy generator that ran all night from 6pm until 8am, definitely detracted from the peaceful sounds of nature at night. I’d rather have no electricity from midnight to 6am, then hear the generator. The best and uppermost room is closest to the generator, so if the noise bothers you, choose one of the smaller, lower rooms, as they still have a nice view but without the noise. We stayed for a week and adjusted to the noise of the generator after one night. It’s actually quieter if the front window is left open at night. 2. The WiFi is extremely slow, but that’s almost everywhere on the island. It won’t be possible to download films or do video chats, but who needs these things anyway in such a beautiful setting. 3. Finally, the water temperature of the shower works by solar heat, on sunny days, the water gets very hot, but be aware if the days are cloudy or rainy, the shower will be like warm at best.
• Milena (10/5): Exceptional - The stuff is so lovely and welcoming!! Everything is done with so much care, the beds are freshly made with towels each night and the breakfast is good! The room especially is a experience to remember! Beautiful way to wake up, high up and view on the bay. Thank you for making us feel comfortable.
• Aman (8/5): Very good - The view of the sea and the island is magnificent, including from the rooms--you can just sit outside your room and gaze out at the view for hours! Bruna and the team were really helpful once I had arrived, for example with giving me directions for the walking routes to some of the nearly beaches (would recommend visiting Lopes Mendes beach and Santo Antonio beach!). The room was clean and comfortable. Very few mosquitos when I was there. The lack of electricity during the day didn't really bother me, since I could just charge my devices at night and I was out at the beaches during the day. Getting there by boat from Abraao is a bit challenging and expensive (especially when travelling alone, since you can't split the cost of a boat across multiple people), and it is worth factoring that in when considering the price of this accommodation and the value for money. It was an additional >US$60 in total for me, though some of that may have been because of my timings, the fact I was travelling alone, and the bad weather on the day of my departure--I asked the hotel if I was overpaying and they told me it wasn't possible for it to be cheaper for those reasons (I'm assuming/hoping that they told me the truth!). There's very little information available before you arrive on the schedules and pricing for the cheaper, shared options for the boats, including from the hotel (I sent a message asking them for this info, got a reply about private transfers from the mainland, and then sent a follow-up message asking about details for the more affordable options, and got the exact same reply again just telling me about the private transfers). All of this is to say that even if you try to take steps beforehand to reduce this cost through advance planning (which I did after reading some of the other reviews on here), you won't necessarily succeed!
• Michele (8/5): Fantastic off grid stay at a stunning remote tropical beach. - Stunning location, private boat service and pier, very friendly owner and staff I Understand it’s off grid generator-powered which is part of the experience and can be navigated by charging etc power banks at night. However, when on, the wi-fi was of very low quality. A starlink or stable satellite would be great. Other places on that remote beach had a perfectly stable wifi…
• Garcia (9/5): Amazing and beautiful! Lucia, Bruna, Flavio and Matheus were just amazing hosts! Thank you for everything - The welcoming atmosphere from the staff and the location were just mind blowing! Not that you needed because with the nature scenery there is no need to be connected but the wifi could be stronger.
