    If I have to say something negative, only that the beds are hard, but I love a hard mattress, my husband not so much.

    Loved the Pousada, perfect location, the walk to the dock with luggage was easy. Gave us all sorts of great suggestions for things to do and where to eat. Everyone very friendly. Clean, Ac worked. Breakfast was classic Brazilian, everything you would want.

    Nice Hotel with Comfortable Rooms Located Within Walking Distance of Abraao's Port
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Superior Room - First Floor
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Pousada Horizonte dos Borbas is located within easy walking distance of Abraao's port where passengers disembark from the ferries coming from the mainland. There are numerous restaurants, bars and supermarkets near the hotel and the trailhead to hike to Lopes Mendes Beach is just a kilometer away. The rooms are clean and comfortable with decent Wi-Fi. The hotel offers a typical Brazilian breakfast served by the very friendly morning staff. I enjoyed my stay and will stay at the hotel again if I ever return to Ilha Grande.

    because of the high humidity, room smelled a little weird and the bathroom had some mold on the ceiling. but it didn’t bother us that much.

    great staff and great location. breakfast was really good. wi-fi worked very well considering it’s on an island. bed was comfortable and tv also worked pretty, they even had cable tv :) the room looks exactly like the pictures and there was a mini bar in the room which is very convenient. AC and ceiling fan worked pretty well! overall, really nice place to stay!

    There was nothing we did not like about the pousada or the village of Abraão. Everything w as wonderful. We just hope that the people on Ilha Grande and the government look after this gem that is Ilha Grande and protect.the environment.

    We appreciated the attentiveness, the local knowledge and the relevant tips of the owner, Giovanni. The pousada is spotless and very charming. It was close to the beaches, but not on them, and therefore quiet. There are so many restaurants and the food was excellent

    Met my basic needs but not as nice as I expected

    I booked this place for 4 nights after seeing such good reviews on here but was disappointed on arrival and struggled to understand why people have been scoring it so high. The property did meet my basic needs but I was expecting better. Staff on reception weren’t rude but never appeared happy or welcoming. The room was basic and looked dated but it had the essentials and the bed was comfortable enough. The air con worked but was stupidly loud.

    Location is good. Very close to the centre of town so not far to walk with bags from the pier after getting off the ferry. Bed was comfortable. Nice to have a fridge in the room. Good choice at breakfast. Decent Wi-Fi. Great daily service by house keeping.

    All the rooms are motel-style, so they open up to the walkway. My 'garden view' was a view of some corrugated roofs, as there is no garden any more. The safe in my room didn't work (and the manager who had the key to fix it was away). At a beach resort, you really need a safe place to lock your stuff while you swim. And my room didn't get made up. On the second day, I realised there was a sign to hang on the door to ask for it to be made up. But as I had to leave cards and passport in the room to swim, it didn't seem like a great idea. Also note that they take full payment well in advance. Overall, it was okay but over-priced.

    The hotel is in a great location- just a couple of minutes from beach and shops, but fairly quiet. Breakfast is good, and it's served in a lovely thatched courtyard area. My room was comfortable

    It was very reasonable for Illa Grande and the breakfast was great.

    Proprietor was a little stern but I do think that is his manner as he is Italian. The rooms were really tiny and we had 3 of us in each room just off the main entrance area. It was a real squash and a squeeze with our luggage but we didn't spend much time in the room.

    Breakfast was great and friendly staff who kept providing fresh fruit when we ran out. The location was good - central location close to everything. It was reasonably priced for our family of 6. We loved Illa Grande as there is so much to do - hiking, beaching, etc so I suppose it really didn't matter that the rooms were so small.
