Detailed Reviews
The pousada is perfect if you are looking for tranquility and privacy. It is a 25 min walk to the main town (Vila do Abraão) or you can get the pousada's boat. It has its own very nice beach and a wonderful view of Vila do Abraão and the Parrot's Peak. The room is very spacious, clean and faces the sea. Both the manager and the owner are very friendly and really try to make you fell home. Excelent value.

Large clean room and huge clean shower. Room has A/C. All this at a reasonable price! The staff was great and extreamly nice and helpful.

We stayed here for 6 nights having spent 5 nights in the village. A brilliant choice. The rooms are large enough, with a luxurious bathroom (huge shower) & a large balcony metres away from the beach. A hammock would have been perfect here... The beach is not really used by anyone else other than guests. We saw a few kayaks arrive but it is like having your own private beach. Breakfast was varied with plenty of choice. Meals also available in the evening if you can't be bothered to do the 25 minute walk to the village. The Pousada offers a boat transfer to the village for 15 reals. We usually walked in at dusk (don't attempt in dark as quite narrow, rocky & steep in places) & then called for the boat to collect from the pier. The caipirinhas served in the Pousada were the biggest & strongest we had during our whole visit. None of the staff speak English but not a problem. All were very friendly & polite. Free kayaks, 10 minutes to beach around corner with 2 restaurants but advise a slightly longer kayak to a deserted beach 15 minutes further round. Very disappointed to leave.

Unfortunately it was raining most of our time in Ilha Grande. We spent a lot of time in the pousada. The pousada was nice and staff very friendly.. pretty efficient for island time in Brazil but small hiccups. The main issue was the cement mattress , super hard and uncomfortable. Great views however. The hotel is very old school with an upgrade desperately needed in the rooms. Overall a good stay but very overpriced for a 2 star pousada

Summary:
- Without just cause, the hotel cancelled our reservation midway through our stay.
- Without our knowledge, while we were off the property, the hotel rummaged through our room, threw our belongings in plastic bags, gave our room to another guest, and (since they failed to change room keycode) I at one point walked in on a new female guest naked on our bed.
Details:
We booked the hotel when a room opened at the last minute due to a no show. We established on multiple occasions -- with staff and the owner herself -- that we would stay two nights.
When we returned from a beach around 6pm the day after check-in, the owner waived us down: "The people who didn't show up last night showed up today. We don't have additional rooms and need to cancel your reservation." I tried arguing with the owner, but she -- along with all hotel staff -- doesn't speak any English. My girlfriend translated into Spanish, but the owner wound up seeing nothing wrong with cancelling an in-progress reservation and didn't change her position. She offered to help us get a reservation at another hotel, but after a long day, and as it was storming outside (boats are the only mode of transportation), we had no interest in moving.
Giving up, I went to our room, put in our key card, and saw a random woman naked on our bed. The new guest had already moved in.
I went to the lobby, furious, and discovered that the staff, while we were at the beach and without our knowledge, went through our possessions and threw them without care, concern, or order into various bags, which they shoved into our suitcase. Wet, dirty clothes were mixed with white, new ones. Clothes were stained. About 70 reales were missing. Passports, iPhones, and watches were thrown into the same bags as sandy, wet sandals.
The owner, during all this, never apologized or admitted guilt. There was the tacit expression of guilt when she refunded our stay and found us another room at a substandard affiliate hotel, but then again, that was only after I yelled for an hour and threatened to call the police.
Please stay away from this place at all costs. They don't deserve your business.

Wonderful and quaint hotel just far enough away from the main village to avoid the crowds but just close enough to not be completely isolated. Owner was more than helpful with info about activities to do on the island and arrange boat tours, etc. Really had a relaxing time and would love to come back again soon!

Rooms are fine and has a stunning view - be sure to catch when the Sun goes down:-) the restaurant serves good food for a fine price (dont order the pizza though). The beach and the owner is nice, but she’s the only one who speaks english, so it’s an advantage if you know portugise. The location, however, is perfect if you just want to relax and enjoy the sun.

We came to Portal do Sol 4 years ago and we loved it . Thus tone decided to stay 5 nights and we had again an amazing time . The Pousada is set on tropical garden and small private beach . All the staff are very friendly, great breakfast and love to take the little boat to go to the village for drinks and dinner . As well the island has fabulous beaches to explore and great restaurants right on the beach

This Pousada is located in a beautiful spot, it looks like heaven when the boat brings you to Portal do Sol. Afterwards I believe that the experience will depend on whether you can speak Portuguese, and which room you've been allocated to. Staff speak next to no English, so we used Google translate a lot. Despite that, some encounters can be quite confronting, such as when we were forced from our window side table in the middle of our breakfast by Andresa (a chain smoker member of the staff) to another table, when there was no reserved signs on any tables, and only after other staff had advised us that we could sit at any table we liked.
We stayed in room 9 which is a steep uphill walk from reception (can be quite slippery after the rain), next to laundry. Very intermittent and weak WiFi in that room, so practically had to go to the reception area even to check emails.
Breakfast is quite good and generous, and the lady making your eggs is lovely. The owners desk and all her business dealings happen right next to breakfast area with no separating walls.
The room itself is quite humble, but very comfortable beds and very good air conditioning. There are signs on bathroom walls warning the guests not to flush toilet paper down the toilet, yet the bin provided is one of the smallest I've ever seen! Our fridge was unplugged for a few hours by mistake from the laundry side. Stained hand towels on the rack once, but quickly replaced when I used my google translate. Overall most staff are quite polite and helpful.
The Caipirinhas are amongst the largest and strongest I've had. The walk to the village is not as short as they may want you to believe, and we did it on the first night in the dark which was a bad decision, as parts get submerged, and I got wet running shoes which never dried in that humidity.
I will look for a better Pousada next time on the island, but can happily stay here again. Can be an enjoyable stay despite some issues.

They don't speak English at all,food is disgusting,room and toilets just horrible and water dirty.We had to eat out most times after having a bad experience middle of the holiday after eating in the hotel restaurant I ended up cancelling a boat trip due to being bed ridden for 2 days.This hotel is certainly not a 4 star hotel on anyone's grading system. Two stars would be generous.
