Reviewed By ceshaaIf I could leave 10 stars I absolutely would!!! I’ve been to my fair share of islands and had experiences from almost being stranded on an island with no accommodations, to having the sand brushed off my beach chair at boujee beach clubs. Bonito Paraiso is SPECIAL. Beyond beautiful location tucked away on the edge of the ilha, magnificent beach with sparkly black sand (great photo ops) The staff here is incredible- Sergio in the front goes above and beyond to make sure every single need/want/question is met and answered. From sun up to sun down the team at Bonita Paraiso are so helpful and such a good vibe. I had everything I could have ever asked for here, AND MORE.

Sem luz, sem gerador e sem água
Reviewed By Companion58675671807We arrived in the Pousada and there was no light in the Island. It would have been ok if the pousada Convés had a generator. The generator was not working. We had to go to the pousada beside(where the generator was working) to have dinner and charge our mobiles. To make things worse, the room we were had no water during the whole night, this means we could not flush the toilet during the night, neither brush the teeth in the morning) Definitely, I do not recommend this place to anyone, luckily we stayed only one night. Portugues… Nos chegamos na pousada e não tinha luz na Ilha. Estaria ok, se o gerador da pousada funcionasse. O gerador estava queimado. Nos tivemos que ir para a pousada ao lado para para jantar e carregar is celulares. Para piorar, não tinha água no nosso quarto, o que significa que não pudemos dar discards d escovar os dentes. Definitivamente, eu não recomendo está pousada. Graças a Deus só ficamos uma noite.

From start to finish our stay was peaceful, picturesque and beautiful. We received a warm welcome. The room was amazing. This place really is as good as it looks in the pictures. Better even. Happy hour cocktails were great. Breakfast and dinner is all prepared and cooked by the owner, which gives it a real quaint feel. Also tastes great. We will certainly be back.

Basic but comfortable

8. Pousada do Preto
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 90 reviews
Pousada do Preto is a friendly and cozy and simple, where you will have direct contact with the owners who are of Japanese descent. The food is very varied and plentiful. The tours are conducted for the most known points of the Bay of Ilha Grande and Angra Bay.
Excellent buffet, cheap hotel
Reviewed By Audun HThe hotel saw its best days som 30 years ago. It makes the place somewhat spooky. Everything works though, and the included dinner, for only two-three families (in March, after brazilian holliday), was a buffet of several courses.

Leave your troubles behind and rest your soul on Praia Vermelha. Comfortable accomodation awaits you and your family on the scenic island of Ilha Grande.
Four Stars Doesn't Mean it's a 4 Star Hotel....
Reviewed By susanmK4092UQLa Dolce Vita was good for what it was, but I wish my husband had found us somewhere a little nicer to stay. The staff was very helpful and relaxed, and fed us even when the restaurant was closed (lucky, since there was nowhere else to eat). I found the location a bit remote as there is no other restaurant option (in late April) and no stores whatsoever. The view from our window was spectacular. We were eaten alive by killer mosquitoes but can't blame the hotel for that. The power was turned off every day for the day and sometimes it was turned back on by dark. Sometimes not, but eventually...Did I mention the food wasn't very good? Except for breakfast, which was excellent and abundant.
10. Biergarten Hostel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 278 reviews
Clean, tidy hostel next to everything :)
Reviewed By PixieDouxThis is one of those rare gems that looks better than the photos! Mainly female staff were so friendly and happy to answer questions. Stayed in the 4 bed girls dorm at the front - if you plan on early nights then maybe not the best choice for you, but once music stops around 11pm, I passed out in the comfy bed. You'll need to sleep with the air con on and grab a fleecy blanket. Shared bathroom was really clean. In fact, the whole place was truly clean. Free welcome drink, also just a really welcoming space. I was pleased to turn up here. Wi fi was good enough to make a whatsapp call back to England for a long chat. Felt very safe walking back late at night, it's right in the middle of everything on the main track through the island but away from the drag of busier restaurants. If you're alone and wary, thought there are many lovely places to stay tucked away up alleyways in the direction of the mountains, this is a better option given its proximity to everything and ease of getting to :) Did have a slight issue with lack of hot water but travelling through Brazil, I think what us English call hot water is hard to come by!
