P1 made for an amazing frame for our stay. The view was amazeing, staff were pleasant, the room clean the bed comfertable. It is possible to walk in to the town, meeting small beaches on the way, wear shoes that can get wet. We loved our stay and will be back - thank you Asalem for 5 wonderfull nights (and splendid drinks!).

Fabulous location in the forest, with the village of Abraao a short boat ride away. Friendly and helpful staff with good food options on site. My only complaint was that the hot water in the shower wasn’t always hot, but that aside, the hotel and our stay were excellent. Highly recommended.

The scenery is unmatched. The accommodation provides privacy and a quiet space. Every morning, I looked forward to waking up so that I could eat their amazing breakfast; everything was fresh: the fruits, the juices, etc. The majority of the staff were friendly and helpful. My only criticism is that the wifi did not reach our room. When we wanted to use the wifi, we would have to leave the room in order to get any decent signal. Overall we loved our stay.

Wifi doesnt work in the room A/C barely works in the room Frequent power outages and wifi outages on the premises - the hotel will blame the island for this, but there seemed to be no issues when we visited the main pier They will charge you for EVERYTHING: - umbrellas - ponchos - taxi boat to and from the main pier (you cannot easily walk there as it is flooded) The list goes on this is just what i vividly recall. We paid more for this hotel than a 5* luxury in Party. If i could re book my honeymoon i would jurt have gone to Paraty for longer. The only reason this is not 1* is because the manager we spoke to was good. That aside, if you are looking for a romantic getaway this is NOT your place. manager was good and the room

2/10 Poor

The location of this hotel is simply spectacular. Nestled at the foot of the mountains with breathtaking views of the ocean, the setting is absolutely stunning. Waking up to such a panorama is truly a privilege, and without a doubt, this is the hotel’s only strong point. Unfortunately, everything else falls far short. For an average rate of over €275 per night, you expect at least a basic level of service — which is absolutely not the case here. The services are practically nonexistent, and the overall organization is seriously lacking. In Brazil, where temperatures are high, the drinking water supply was not working, which is simply unacceptable. The showers, including the outdoor showers, had a strong sewage smell. In the room, several electrical outlets were not working, which was particularly inconvenient. Housekeeping clearly left much to be desired, with an overall feeling of neglect. The sheets were not changed for four days, even though the hotel states they are changed every three days. The rooms are very basic, poorly maintained, with unattractive linens and a generally disappointing level of finish. Breakfast was also very disappointing: limited selection, poor quality, and absolutely not in line with the price charged. In summary: an exceptional setting, but a level of service completely unworthy of the price. It is extremely disappointing to pay such a high rate for such poor standards. We do not recommend this hotel despite the beauty of the location.

Our favorite place!!

If we could stay here longer, we would!! Truly look no further, this is the best hotel with the cutest rooms, perfect views, great food, and wonderful staff. With walkable paths to the beach and to the downtown area (along with private water taxis for transportation if you don’t want to walk), everything was perfect. This was hands down our favorite stop on our honeymoon. I know it will be just as special for anyone who visits!

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.

We spent 4 nights at Asalem. We enjoyed our time very much. We stayed at the chalet which was spacious and has amazing views of the bay. The hotel serves the best caipirinhas in town and the food they serve is also very good. There are lots of steps to take each day so you have to be fit enough to climb those. A little boat brings you to the village and back. It’s a very special place we can highly recommend.

If you're looking into the reviews to decide coming here or not - Please book some other nice pousada and use the rest of your money on cool activities in the Island! The view is amazing. Their kitchen is also very good. This is not worth the premium price they charge. They will charge for every little convenience (water, umbrella, transport to the island, wtc). They say their reception is available and leave you with no answer for hours (during their working hours). They will try to push very overpriced boat rides that you can get the same in the Island for 1/3 of the price. Overall, the feeling I have after staying there a couple of nights is of being scammed. Just get a nice pousada for half the price and use the money to get more out of Ilha Grande's experiences.

Great stay at Asalem

Asalem is a great place to relax. Very friendly, great views, quiet. Problem for people that have issues with stair climbing as located on a hill and to get to rooms steep stairs have to be dealt with. Bungalows are beautiful and on 2 levels. To get to main bedroom again steep staircase. Bathroom is on lower floor so if you have to get up at night starir case awaits to get to bathroom. Besides the stairs the hotel is great. You have to take ship from Concecao 15 mins or from angra dos reis 50 mins to abraao on the island a d call hotel for boat pickup as you cannot walk to hotel with heavy luggage. The hotel boat could be better. I rate the stay as excellent as the views, the friendliness of the personnel and the hiking and beach options are really great

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.
