Uma experiência única, que recomendo a todos.
Pros:

A pousada tem uma localização excelente, perfeita para quem busca descanso, tranquilidade e contato com a natureza. A vista para o mar é simplesmente deslumbrante.

A praia em frente à pousada é um destaque à parte: a água é bem morninha e cristalina, e é possível ver peixes com facilidade, mesmo sem entrar muito no mar — uma experiência deliciosa e relaxante.

A alimentação é maravilhosa, e os funcionários são extremamente atenciosos e prestativos, o que torna a experiência ainda mais especial.

O passeio de caiaque foi um dos pontos altos da viagem. O mar estava calmo, o que facilitou bastante o trajeto até a Lagoa Azul. Conseguimos ver muitos peixes sem precisar alimentá-los e até tartarugas, o que foi incrível.

Além disso, as trilhas são lindas, cercadas por natureza exuberante, com muitas árvores, cachoeiras e até pés de jaca pelo caminho.

Ilha Grande é um lugar único, cheio de paisagens inesquecíveis. As fotos não conseguem traduzir toda a beleza que se vê pessoalmente.

Cons:

Como ponto de atenção, aos finais de semana há um aumento no movimento de embarcações e jet skis, o que pode impactar um pouco a tranquilidade. No entanto, isso acaba sendo consequência natural de um lugar tão bonito e procurado.

Un paraiso en la selva
Pros:

El lugar es realmente un paraiso en el medio de la selva con playa privada y todas las comodidades. La estetica de todo el complejo es preciosa y con playa privada! El personal es super atento, en especial destacamos la atencion de Luana. La habitacion tenia una hermosa vista al mar donde podiamos ver el atardecer y era hermosa. El restaurant tambien era muy bueno y con precios super razonables considerando que no hay otra opcion que comer ahi.

Cons:

Considerando el nivel de servicio excelente que ofrecen estaria bueno que tenga un buen barman.

Paradise, nature, silence.
Pros:

"This place is truly a paradise. It has been a fantastic and relaxing week on a beautiful, unspoiled island. Incredible how a place like this is not yet a world-famous destination — but perhaps that is for the best.

The room is excellent and well-equipped, and the small terrace with a hammock is perfect for unwinding in the evening.

Breakfast is good and generous. The restaurant deserves special mention: the view is spectacular, the food is very fresh and tasty, and the prices are very reasonable.

Around the island there is plenty to see and do. The beach is small but sunbeds, umbrellas, snorkeling masks and kayaks are available to explore the surroundings and the Lagoa Azul. A true paradise.

A special thanks to the staff, who are all extremely kind and wonderfully discreet. Activities such as massages and boat trips are also available.

A true paradise compared to the noisy Abraão. Highly, highly recommended."

Cons:

Some stuff in the fridge would be nice.
Shampoo and conditioner in the shower as well.

Si le paradis existe, il doit ressembler au Paraiso Retiro
Pros:

Un paradis sur terre, que dire de cet emplacement idyllique, de cette vue depuis notre logement.
C’est un vrai dépaysement, et différent de ce qu’on a fait au Brésil. On est vraiment coupés du monde.
Le personnel est adorable, au petit soin de ses clients. Le restaurant est très bien, les produits sont frais.
L’hôtel s’est chargé de notre transfert à Paraty.
Merci merci merci !
Muito gratidão pra todos vocês

Cons:

J’ai tout aimé. Sachez juste que l’hôtel est isolé et qu’il n’y a rien là-bas, pas de supermarché ou autre. Le restaurant ferme tôt car le personnel doit rentrer en bateau le soir, donc si vous avez des problèmes de wi fi comme j’ai eu les deux derniers jours, vous ferez une vraie digital-déconnection !
