It’s important to remember that Ilha Grande is a fairly remote island with no roads. So I think you have to put the accommodation into this context, and on that basis, we really loved Pousada Lagamar. Yes there is a little walk up to the Pousada but the perspective you get through the jungle rather than the just from the beach is really special. The rooms are basic but comfortable and there is house keeping every day. We loved sitting and looking out at the view and listening to the nature around us.

Like I said, it’s all about context and knowing what you’re turning up to. There’s no shop in Praia Vermelha but you can get drinks from the Pousada and we thought they were reasonably priced considering where you are. I recommend taking a few snacks as other than breakfast, no food is available at the Pousada so you have to go down to the beach. Like I said, we knew all this, so think it’s just important to be prepared and bring a few provisions.

Pousada Lagamar had extremely friendly and hospitable staff. They organized tours, water taxis and provided great advice on how to spend our time on the island. The surrounding beach and nature was beautiful and we greatly appreciated the more remote nature of the place as it was further from the main town. It was the perfect place to both relax, explore and embrace the beautiful Brazilian landscape.

Not much to improve on! Would recommend to bring bug spray

The property had great views and we appreciated being close to nature. The staff were nice and helped us segunda up day trips to the beaches/islands.

A little hard to get there (whim we knew), but when you have to do a few trips to the restaurants/the beach every day, it gets a little tiring. Again, we knew it was a hard access. There’s no generator in the property and one of the nights, the power went down and so the fan stopped working and we couldn’t sleep from midnight - 5am. Again, I knew we were in an island but it was tough and so hot.

Beautiful Pousada on the quiet side of the island, just a little walk from Praia Vermelha (don't bring too much luggage with you up the jungle path). Great if you love the quiet and safety and perfect place to enjoy the beauty of nature. Very lovely hostess, great breakfast and very clean and comfortable rooms. Sometimes boat trips are organised by the hostess or you could arrange something yourselves from the nearby restaurant and dive center dolce vita. That is also the only nearby restaurant for dinner, and they serve delicious food. You can go on several hikes, routes are well marked and well maintained (bring good shoes though), and visit nearby beaches by foot (1 to 1.5h hike, or longer if you wish to go further). Or arrange for a taxi boat to see other beaches on the island. We've started off our honeymoon trip here and it was absolutely beautiful. Would recommend it to everyone!

The location here is amazing if you're looking to be hidden away in nature. The beach is almost deserted and like paradise The view from the balcony with a hammock is divine Staff were very helpful with organizing transportation. Lovely place to have breakfast. They helped with luggage when we arrived by boat. One of my highlights of the whole trip

Just to warn you, it's quite a difficult walk up to the property from the beach. Not a fault of the place, just giving advice. At breakfast I would suggest offering eggs. Also the fruit needs covering because of the insects.

Unique! Jungle tree house vibes, comfortable basic rooms. Amazing views. Simple but delicious breakfast. Amazing staff!! They were very helpful and kind, always smiling and sincere. Felt like I was able to disconnect from the world and just relax surrounded by nature. What an amazing experience!

Very small detail, being shower pressure and temperature of water, but your on a pretty remote island so this can’t really be helped… did NOT affect the experience at all.

If there is a little paradise on earth, it is in Pousada Lagamar. The hostess is the sweetest, very helpful. She does everything to give her guests a nice stay. It is decorated in a natural way down to the smallest details, for people, nature and animals, ... the fresh flowers on the breakfast buffet, .. The location is breathtaking. We saw the monkeys after breakfast. Hopefully one day I will come back to Ilha Grande and then it will definitely be in Pousada Lagamar. Don't hesitate, make a reservation

The PEOPLE, staff there is amazing. Tjeu just want you to have a good time and relax. Extremely good people and very knowledgable about the island, what to do and always trying to help and assist any way possible.

I honestly have nothing negative to say about this place. It, to me is the most amazing place to go visit and stay at.

This place was one of the best places I've ever been in my life. If I could give it a 20 out of 10 I would. Room and view were absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. Location was incredible, as there were lots of options (hikes, tours, beaches) for things to do. Isabel was extremely friendly and helpful regarding information about the island. Breakfasts were delicious in a beautiful setting. We really hope to be able to return some day.

Pousada Lagamar is situated at one of the more remote beaches of Ilha Grande. It’s a perfect spot if you seek a relaxing yet adventurous stay. If you’d like to hike and have beautiful beaches, you are in the right spot. The stuff of Pousada Lagamar is friendly and attentive.

Ilha Grande is a bit pricey compared to the rest of Brazil, but it’s worth it.
