Perhaps the best hotel at Ilha Grande. Located away from Abrao. 5 min by hotel boat taxi, cost 20 BRL (4 USD) during the day hours and 40 BRL (8 USD) when it is dark, i.e. after 6pm. Walking is impossible for much of the time as the pathway is frequently flooded. Make sure you call/send whatsapp message to the reception in advance about your trips there and back. There is normally one trip every hour. The boat is quite small and at the beginning hard to identify but after a while you get used to it. Location away from Abrao is good for some if one needs a quiet secure place and a disadvantage if you need some more life around but then again using the boat helps in getting a good balance of everything. The property itself is very good, comfortable, the views are stunning. The staff members are very helpful. Regarding Ilha Grande I had a tour around some beaches, which was not bad. However if you wish to visit the best place then forget other beaches and go Lopes Mendes. Getting there is a quest but worth it: you first go by water taxi to Pouso beach (located in inner lagoon, no big waves) and then walk 20 min through the forest. One could walk all the way from Abrao but that is then few hours. The beach closer to sunset is really stunning. Overall, great experience at Ilha Grande. Thanks a lot.

We were looking forward to our stay at Asalem. I had planned this trip for months and had great expectations for this property.
The place looked amazing on pictures, the location was perfect.
On site we arrived late afternoon, the hostess was great and dinner was ok. The following day breakfast service was great.
However our rooms did not look like in the pictures, the rooms were old, with chipped wood and cracked slabs. The worst was the wholes in the sheets and the bedding and towels were in poor shape and even with mold. The bathrooms were old and had a bad smell but most of all they were not clean. My daughter and I used our sandals to shower as we did not want to step on the shower bare foot.
The floor of the rooms, the outlets, curtains, doors were all in bad shape and in urgent need of repair.
My family was very disappointed and even though we had originally planned to extend our stay, we decided one night there had been enough.
I am sure their newer rooms are better and that everything is great there but the pictures are not accurate to the current state, the property should show current pictures of the older units so that guests know what they are accepting when booking. Still this does not make up for the lack in higiene.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Aslem, during my visit to Ilha Grande. From the moment I arrived, I was thoroughly impressed with the overall experience provided by this fantastic establishment. Aslem excelled in every aspect, including cleanliness, safety measures, staff and service, as well as the impeccable property conditions.

The entire staff from the front desk, to the boat captains from our transfer from Rio de Janeiro to the drivers Asalem provided gifted us impeccable service. We couldn’t have chosen a better destination for our honeymoon. I will reserve any more compliments, because I want Asalem to maintain it’s peaceful atmosphere. Obrigado
