Beautiful location, panoramic sea views. Hotel is lovely and staff are super friendly.

Nothing but some of the furniture is a little dated.

gorgeous property out of the bustle of the main town but close enough to pop over to dinner each night. great little hikes to nearby beaches with great food. amazing and welcoming staff, the massages are a must do!

Everything was perfect. all! The place, the room, the breakfast, the staff, the kindness … all!

All good!

Beautiful view, nice breakfast!

the view is amazing, the location is perfect for people who want to enjoy the pure nature without a noise. quite, peaceful and relaxing

there were some problems with hot water, but they were solved. you should order the dinner no less than in an hour before you going to eat or waiting waiting in the restaurant for a long time

The hotel had a lovely view and was a good size. It also offered a space a bit further away from the main town which was relaxing! As a general rule, the island is stunning when the weather is good. If the weather isn't good, I wouldn't bother visiting the island

The hotel is fairly basic so the daily night cost is way too high. Plus the hotel charge you per person for the boat back to the town which seems crazy with how much you pay per night Cleaning wasn't 100%

We stayed here for two nights and we felt so welcome as soon as the boat dropped us off. The staff were incredibly helpful and they even upgraded our room which was amazing! I would happily recommend this place to anyone who wants a special stay and a view to die for when you wake up.

We chose Asalem as we didn’t want to be in the thick of the central town. The resort is accessed via water taxi from the towns pier (5-7mins) or by a 20 min jungle trek (which can be done in flip flops but during the day vs night would preferable). The property is located on varying levels and would not suit someone with mobility challenges. The staff are incredible- very welcoming and helpful. The food is probably the best we ate during our travels in Brazil, breakfast is plentiful with fresh fruit, cakes and eggs anyway you like. We ate dinner on 2 nights here and the grilled fish was second to none! The egg plant lasagne was also delicious- portions are vastly generous, you will not go hungry! You can borrow their canoe and explore a couple of nearby beaches or just sunbathe on the decking and jump straight onto the sea from the jetty. Lopez Mendes is a 2 hour hike through jungle that can be broken up by beach breaks on route.. Or, you can take a schooner ride from Asalem followed by a 20 min walk (no boat takes you directly to Lopez Mendez). Loved everything about Asalem. I’d say a minimum of 3 nights would allow you to make the most of it, 4-5 would be better.

The only problem we faced is that we had to leave! Would love to venture back one day for sure!

The view of the hotel is amazing. Breakfast was delicious and the staff is really nice. Loves the place.

The views, the staff make you feel at home.

Our room was the loveliest in our travels so far. The massage was amazing on the veranda. Breakfast and dinner amazing, bon appetite! Boat shuttle to and from town with an awesome sailor. Natalia was so sweet! Andre has much class and style. He has put together quite an experience of paradise!

What's not to like? Everything & everyone we came across was beautiful and peaceful!

Asalem is a real paradise on earth and it was difficult for me to leave…The location of the hotel is perfectly situated in the tropical forest with direct access to the sea. There is a beach (sometimes with live music) reachable by foot in 5 min or by boat in 2 min. The hotel itself is very sweet with only a few rooms. I travelled alone and stayed in a Standard Room, which was lovely, even containing an additional hammock and a beautiful view. Breakfast was delicious, everything fresh. For dinner I mostly ate in Vila Abrao, using the hotel boat. It was very easy and the guys from the hotel very flexible. I really enjoyed my stay at Asalem, they create an unique personal atmosphere which makes you feel at home. I highly recommend staying there and will surely come back!

The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The dinner and the drinks were really tasty.

With the money they make the should be able to keep up better with the property. It's all a bit outdated, needs painting, the curtains were moldy,.... in hindsight i would have preferred to stay at a beach with access to bars and restaurants. Although the shuttle service was efficient, it still requires some planning and waiting.

Asalem’s staff makes you feel at home. The site, the view, breakfast and diners are amazing!!

It was hard for us to leave Asalem. We have grown very fond of the beautiful location and the staff. The breakfast and especially the dinner were fabulous and all homemade! We couldn't have imagined a better hotel for our holidays!

Overall we really enjoyed the place, the staff, the surroundings. Nice big clean rooms, two A/Cs, the view from room and special view from the restarant/breakfast place. The breakfast was extraordinary nice and the not english speaking, young Lady in the Kitchen was SO KIND. (we didnt get her name, shame on us. She has braided hair). It was raining all 6 days but we had a great time anyways and the staff gave good ideas to where to walk and what to see :-) ThankS.

The place - compared to price- really needed a fresh up. It all seemed a bit worned down, the terrace needed oil, the chairs by Water needed a fresh up aswel. For a place This price we think it would be great with more entertaining optiions for borrow(small boats, kayaks, sups, snorkellinggear ect) - it would be a nice thing to have. And free Coffee and water during the day, like almost all other places we have stayed in Brazil. The room, tho it had A/C was really damp, so we had a Feeling that we were wet all the time. Dont know if something can be done about that.

Simple, homely feeling, understated but glorious location. We felt like welcome guests of a really friendly family who were unobtrusive but who loved having us

Location and views were incredible, peaceful and stunning. Staff treated you like family.

The fan seemed to be solar and didn’t work at night, however, that was a small thing as there was a more than capable air conditioner that worked great. Just a thing if you wanted a fan at night instead of AC.

This place was absolutely wonderful. The location is perfect and is close to town. The hotel very kindly picked us up from the main port and took us back when we had to leave. The food is all made in house and was the best meal we had in Brazil. The hosts are English speaking and gave us so many good tips. The toilets work well, the showers are hot, and the beds are comfortable. They also have two canoes available at the private dock that can be taken out at any time. The sunset from the doc is spectacular.

It was nice and quiet which is what I needed. The view from my room was one of the best I’ve ever had. The owners were really nice and catered to all my needs, were always happy to take me in and out from Abraão. The food prepared at the property was really good.

Nothing really. Could have done with coffee/tea making facilities in the room.

Sea wiew, turtles and Wales in front of hotel, services and staff fantastic

From the start the place fulfilled our expectations! An AMAZING location of Asalem, where you get with a boat, is surrounded by beautiful nature, what made our stay idyllic. Nice idea of individual rooms-little houses on the slope, creates a wonderful intimacy and privacy. Rooms together with a cosy restaurant have a breathtaking view facing the bay, which made our morning cafes or a glass of wine in the evening so peaceful - exactly what we needed at that time. The hosts were wonderful - always ready to help with advice or any other matters. We even got and upgrade room for free just because they thought we would feel more comfortable in a slightly bigger house. The only advice we would give is - if you want to go to town on foot, make sure you do it first time during the day, so you get familiar with the path. There are not that many signs in the forest, so you might miss them at night when its dark and you might end up in water - what has its charm too ;-). We are definitely coming back, whenever it will be possible! Thank you Asalem for such an amazing stay!
