Great Dive team and center

Review of Pousada Jamanta
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Mar 15, 2023
So I did not stay at the Pousada I used the dive center for a scuba trip. The dive team is very professional which is the most important criterion. They were also very friendly and took us to a couple of sites around Ilha Grande. The boat was in top condition and the equipment was in great shape which was good because my tank transmitter had a dead battery so I had to borrow a computer. A couple of notes - minimum dive is for two people and it was about R$250 per person or something like that. They offer a nice bag lunch included. Several instructors had excellent English skills which is good because my Portuguese is really bad! I understand the restaurant is top notch but did not eat there on this trip. The water was clear but there is a bit too much algae for the best dive sites. There is virtually no current so great for novices. I highly recommend this dive center and will return again!
Date of stay: March 2023
Room Tip: Great team for novices or experienced divers. Good discovery dive opportunities.
Trip type: Travelled with friends

Beautiful location, good and well organized breakfast, good and nice personal. Included in the room price: kayak and stand up paddle. What's missing: coconut water, better information service (not even city maps are available). Bad cost-benefit, the structure and services do not correspond to the high price.

Room tip: Check for spots that are not normally cleaned e.g.: on top of the fridge and hammock which was totally dirt (was never washed)

The dive school I am with visit Angra do Reis periodically. This was my first experience and also my first time on vacation in Brazil. Loved it. We flew into Rio and the hotel arranged for us to be picked up in a mini-bus for the 2 and half hour trip down to the resort. The had a range of rooms, I had chosen a single room, but in the end I got a lovely room, with a balcony and garden view, double bed, en-suite and air-con. Very comfortable. Came with a fridge and cable tv too. Internet in the room was a bit hit n miss, but in other areas of the hotel it was excellent and fast. The friendly staff were very helpful. Our package included the stay, buffet breakfast and evening meal - where the food was to a high standard. Then 5 days of boat diving with local guides. Equipment can be rented there, we took our own. Everyone from the cleaning staff to the dive guides always had a cheery outlook and a smile on their faces. Diving was great, we saw dolphins, turtles, sea horses, loads of fish and coral. We dived a couple of wrecks and the night dive was an optional extra. The last day we had free to explore or hang around the pool. We ended up snorkelling in the bay. Excellent facilities. We wanted for nothing. I didn't ever leave the hotel. The drinks from the fridge/mini-bar were affordable so I never considered venturing out. Other rooms I understand had even cooking facilities. Excellent and well recommended.

I tried to dive with Jamanta but it was simply impossible. First they ask you for a credit card via phone. When you are finally able to convince them they do not show up in your hotel and claim that they thought that what we had booked was a baptism dive, not a real dive. Really disappointed at them.

Dear Diogo

To confirm a service we require a 50% payment that must be made by credit card or bank deposit. The baptism is a "real dive" performed for divers who not have the certificate diver. We offer a trained dive team with good boats and new equipments and our bay has a lot of differents diving points for baptisms, courses, basic or advanced divers.
Unfortunately you are giving your evaluation for a service that was not provided by our company.
I am sorry that no service in our city has pleased you as it shows in all your evaluations in Tripadvisor.
We hope that when you come back to visit Angra dos Reis will be more enjoyable with your hotel and services.
Our hotel and dive operator will be available to dive or stay with us and finally meet us in person so we have the chance to change your opinion.
Best regards
Jamanta Family
