I was expecting paradise and was nickeled and dimed to death. Our room was dirty, moldy and scuzzy. The staff was smoking all the time, smelt like an ashtray. The place was way over priced. The food below average. Would never go back. Too bad, such a pretty island, choose another place to stay! More

We stayed here with my husband for a few days in August. Nice weather. The resort is simple, but nice, the food was fine with us. The rooms are ok, don't expect something fancy. The main reason I wouldn't go back, is that everybody at the resort smoked all the time. We don't smoke so it was hard to enjoy... More

We arrived by the Sagu boat and had a pleasant and easy trip across.We arrived on a Saturday with reservations for a three night stay. We were given Room #9, above the restaurant, over the TV room and in the same alley as the public computer room. We had booked a room with a private balcony but were told the... More

Dear Sirs, We apologize in fact, some of the details of this room were not perfect. Though, as far as we remember, you were proposed to change room, that you promptly refused. Still, we must affirm that in 2012 on the first 63 days, the Sagu had 13 reviews in Trip Advisor: 4 Excellent, 7 very good, 1 average and... More

We stayed in two paces on Ilha Grande and both were wonderful. Sagu has a private jetty complete with sun lounges for watching the passing boats and, of course, the sunset. There are kayaks and games and great advice about the activities available on the island. And it's lovely and quiet (except for the French kids while we were there). More

When we arrived by hotel boat from Abraão, the staff came to the pier to welcome us and helping carrying the luggage. At once I felt the special atmosphere in this mini resort. Our room was a two floor, asian inspired flat. Everything was clean and tidy, and it felt homey at once. We also had a big veranda with... More

Stayed here for 3 or 4 nights back in 2009. The rooms were ok, completely acceptable, but a little less modern than their newly updated website at the time. We enjoyed being just far enough away from town to get there quickly but also get away quickly. The couple running the restaurant were great and we had a wonderful meal... More

Nice music, a glass of good wine and a beautiful sunset at looking the sea is a kind of magic you can find here. This hotel boutique is a very good place to stay. The rooms are very comfortables. They have a big one, but they don`t have a swimming pool. Breakfast is really good, including champagne to make a... More

Ilha Grande is simply a paradise. What a wonderful island. Sagu was a terrific place to spend 3 nights in this paradise. My favorite things about Sagu were the beauty of the place - rooms in free standing colorful cottages scatterd through the jungle on a hillside. Several small beaches are on either side of the resort and there are... More

My husband and I stayed at Sagu for two weeks in December. We had the most amazing holiday due to staying at the best hotel on the island. The location is incredible, the staff were so helpful and kind, and the restaurant is the best on the island. Having stayed on Ilhe Grande for two weeks we sampled a number... More

We stayed for two nights at Sagu before moving into Abaroo town. The location of Sagu is pretty cool - you have to cross three beaches. Our room had a lovely terrace & spotlessly clean. However at £120 a night I wouldve expected a bit more luxury & attention. Briefly checked in, we were not told more than the time... More
