Asalem

The scenery is unmatched. The accommodation provides privacy and a quiet space. Every morning, I looked forward to waking up so that I could eat their amazing breakfast; everything was fresh: the fruits, the juices, etc. The majority of the staff were friendly and helpful. My only criticism is that the wifi did not reach our room. When we wanted to use the wifi, we would have to leave the room in order to get any decent signal. Overall we loved our stay.

Rummen och hela hotellet har haft sin bästa tid bedagat och slitet. Trevlig personal. Mycket högt pris för vad man får.

Very exotic and relaxing. Average standard, but good for Ilha Grande.

Great location a room with a great view of the bay

Fabulous location in the forest, with the village of Abraao a short boat ride away. Friendly and helpful staff with good food options on site. My only complaint was that the hot water in the shower wasn’t always hot, but that aside, the hotel and our stay were excellent. Highly recommended.

I think we got double unlucky where our room was maybe one that hadn’t been renovated yet and we had really bad weather but the accommodation was good quality and well done. The team

Fantastisk view. Ligner ca 20minutters gang af en junglesti, meget eksotisk. Lækkert vand , dejlig strand. Hotellet er i den høje ende men udsigten er pengene værd. Det trænger lidt til en kærlig hånd alle steder, men udsigten er alle pengene værd. Vi så havskildpadde i morgen. Vand taxi til og fra hotellet.

Really amazinv views and staff

Hermosos lugar para relajarte y olvidarte de los problemas

If you're looking into the reviews to decide coming here or not - Please book some other nice pousada and use the rest of your money on cool activities in the Island! The view is amazing. Their kitchen is also very good. This is not worth the premium price they charge. They will charge for every little convenience (water, umbrella, transport to the island, wtc). They say their reception is available and leave you with no answer for hours (during their working hours). They will try to push very overpriced boat rides that you can get the same in the Island for 1/3 of the price. Overall, the feeling I have after staying there a couple of nights is of being scammed. Just get a nice pousada for half the price and use the money to get more out of Ilha Grande's experiences.

Amazing paradise with great staff!

Perfect stay with beautiful surroundings and genuinely nice staff. Food was amazing (lasagne is a must) and the room was perfect!

I Rate this hotel at 4.5 great views and lovely island. Service was great but there was some misunderstanding about our pickup in the city. It is a nice place to get down to basic. They advertised that they have snorkels but didn’t

Jeg og min mann bodde 7 dager på Asalem. Pasadaen er sliten, det er lav standard, og jeg hadde større forventning til miljø og atmosfære når jeg booket dette stedet. Vi manglet vann i dusj og toalett flere ganger, og det stod råtne blomster i restauranten hele uka. Stedet har en fantastisk beliggenhet, og utsikten fra rommet stunning! Personalet er søt og hyggelig, men det er lite energi der. Anbefaler ikke å være her mer enn 2 til 3 dager. Er overpriset. Finnes ikke noe Spa der heller, selv om det står her.

Utrolig flott hotell, med nydelig mat og service! 15 minutters gange til byen, 5 minutter til stranden.

Overall we were happy with our stay, however if we return to Ilha Grande we probably wont stay here again. The main reasons for this were poor communication and value for money. Regarding communication, as an example, we booked a boat pick up from the property for 10am to take us to a beach. We were told that morning that the boat will arrive between 10 and 10:20am. Despite being ready on time, the boat had left without us and we had to wait a further 45 minutes for another. Also, we were told if we wanted to be picked up Abraao town to go back to the property or vice versa, we had to WhatsApp reception. We did this one evening and got no response despite asking twice for confirmation of whether the boat was going to come. Fortunately it did, however the lack of a response was frustrating. Regarding value for money, we expected the room to be decorated nicer than it was, and also found additional charging annoying e.g. you are charged for the boat transfer into the town, per person, for each way. This was strange considering the price we were paying per night was fairly high, and the alternative was to hike 25 minutes which depending on the time of day, requires you to wade through water. Lastly, we were also Expedia VIP members so expected to recieve our free drink, however this was never mentioned and we never recieved it. On a positive note, the property was very clean, breakfast was good, and the view from the room was lovely.

Receptionist provided a great service.

If we could stay here longer, we would!! Truly look no further, this is the best hotel with the cutest rooms, perfect views, great food, and wonderful staff. With walkable paths to the beach and to the downtown area (along with private water taxis for transportation if you don’t want to walk), everything was perfect. This was hands down our favorite stop on our honeymoon. I know it will be just as special for anyone who visits!

Asalem is a great place to relax. Very friendly, great views, quiet. Problem for people that have issues with stair climbing as located on a hill and to get to rooms steep stairs have to be dealt with. Bungalows are beautiful and on 2 levels. To get to main bedroom again steep staircase. Bathroom is on lower floor so if you have to get up at night starir case awaits to get to bathroom. Besides the stairs the hotel is great. You have to take ship from Concecao 15 mins or from angra dos reis 50 mins to abraao on the island a d call hotel for boat pickup as you cannot walk to hotel with heavy luggage. The hotel boat could be better. I rate the stay as excellent as the views, the friendliness of the personnel and the hiking and beach options are really great

we felt safe here and it was a great spot with nice views. great staff and breakfast but overall, very over priced.
