Amei a vista da acomodação, a localização, a Paris de Palmas é muito agradável, tem uns 3 a 4 restaurantes pé na areia, uma loja de conveniência e uns dois campings.
A acomodação bem agradável. O casal responsável pela pousada nos recepcionaram muito bem, ela nos explicou tudo na ilha, nos contaram histórias locais! Voltaria com certeza!
Não é uma crítica, é algo q acontece na ilha e todos devem sabem, não tem energia 24 horas, a pousada tem gerador que funciona das 18:00 às 8:00, ar condicionado das 20:00 às 6:00
Então leve carregador portátil
O café da manhã achei bem fraco, mas o que tinha era muito gostoso!

Las fotos no le hacen justicia, su ubicación es increíble, permite una vista muy privilegiada a la playa. Además, la anfitriona, Bruna, es muy amable, y gestiona tu transporte desde Rio, por un costo adicional. El lugar es muy retirado y privado, realmente se logra una desconexión.
Nuestra habitación no contaba con aire acondicionado, lo que en días de mucho calor puede ser un poco desagadable. Aunque sí hay ventiladores.

Amazing location right on the beach with a couple of restaurants 5 mins walk away. The team there were so helpful with water taxis and days out. Our room was the best we stayed in for the whole holiday in Brazil and I would recommend this to anyone.
I loved everything!

The view is spectacular. The beach is lovely. But that's it basically.
The hotel is nice but the facilities are not existent. Being an eco area, there is no electricity during the day, but that's fine. But there is nothing. The breakfast was the most mediocre we had in Brazil. The path to the beach is ok but then you have to climb a boulder and in the dark in the evening if you want to go to eat at the beach restaurants. The hotel has no restaurant so you need to go to the beach in the evening to eat. The path is not lit up ( why not using solar power lights??) So we had to use our mobiles torches. It's uneven and climbing the boulder in the dark was not fun. The quality of food at the beach is not great and the choice very limited. We ended up once taking the expensive taxi boat to abrao to find some decent food.
5.0
Nice team, very helpful during the stay.
The pousada is well located if you are hiking through the island and is not so expensive for the island (if you come by your on mean, if not you need to add at least 100 reais per person ton come, and 100 more to leave)
Very noisy on the Last floor due to electrical generator.
Not really safe for small children on the Last floor (few protections to avoid fall).
Breakfast was really disapointing for Brasil.
Few options in the buffet and really few options in the kitchen (only scrambled eggs), most of them quickly depleted, very bad juice.
Really far from abrao, if you come by boat, you need to count 100reais per person Just one way.
It is not the fault of to the pousada, but the beach was really dirty, full of plastic and not nice to enjoy the beach.
There are few restaurant option close to the pousada.

The location is amazing. The beach is just perfect.
Breakfast is good and hotel has nice views
All is good but it could be easily perfect if the management of the hotel is improved.
Fixed mosquito net on the windows
Small rooms without a place to hang wet close and no place for luggage
Better information how to reach and leave the hotel
Some painting in some parts of the hotel
Electricity until 9am instead of 8 so wifi can be used at breakfast and people don't wake up full of sweat

8.0
The pousada is located on Praia de Palmas which is a really quiet option on Ilha Grande.
Bruna and all the people working in the pousada are all so nice and will do their best to help you.
The room was the right size for 1 person, and has everything you need.
The breakfast is really good and you can enjoy the view on the beach from there.
The really long beach has a restaurant and Abraao is 1h walk via the trail, and the beautiful beach of Lopes mendes is also reachable by the trail.
Please keep in mind that this location is mainly to relax (as wifi and electricity is limited and available only from 5:30pm to 8am)
Unfortunately there are not cheap options to reach the pousada : either by private boat from Conceiçao, or by the taxi-boat from abraao (be careful of the price of these taxi-boat). You can also do the 1h trail from Abraao (not practical if you have big suitcases...)

The beach is lovely, the Pousada has a nice view.
It’s not easy to get there or to get from one place to another. You always have to take a boat and that can be very expensive or not very reliable.
6.0
Beautiful location away from touristy bussle. Breakfast was clean and nicely laid out with something for everyone. Host and her family were very kind and welcoming.
Unfortunately there is only Air conditioning from 8pm till 5am and it’s automatic. Fans also didn’t go on until 6pm.
Hard to even go back to the room for a siesta because the rooms are so unbelievably hot.
Breakfast is served too late. At 8:00 and it’s already hot by then and you’re sweating. It would be nice to have an option of watching the sun rise and enjoying A coffee.
Not recommended for the elderly or handicapped individuals. Object has many stairs.
Path to the beach is rather rough and rigid. Not suitable elderly or young children.
10.0
Breakfast was delicious and abundant. The staff were inmensly warm and welcoming. I would absolutely recomend this place and would love to come back!
Since it is a very humid and rainy place, it would be great if the rooms had some place to hang clothes for drying. Also, it would be helpfull to have just one more piece of furniture or shelf to organize our clothes and traveling things.

we had just an amazing stay thank you again for everything - only minus: no moskito nets so watch out and bring enough spray! other than that it’s just beautiful there !!
No moskito nets and the wifi is not working in the rooms but other than that just great.

Beautifully located with a wonderful view onto the bay.
Good to know: electricity (e.g. for charging) and WiFi only available at night between 18:00-8:00. Signal of mobile data weak and intermittent.

Great hosts. Always willing to help with question or to organize trips/transfers. Unbelievable location—Situated in jungle looking over a perfect beach. Five minute walk to beach. Access to restaurants, beaches and hiking trails. Great view from breakfast rooms. Rooms are basic but they are only for sleeping. Good value.
Breakfast is the same every day. It is good (cakes, ham/cheese, fruit, coffee/tea). However, it gets monotonous.

Friendly and helpful staff. Very clean. Great breakfast and view.
