    Little Gem....

    From the minute we arrived the staff at Ansalem couldn't do enough for us, their approach was very personable and helpful especially Jack and Paola who were very attentive. The location was amazing and the staff were pretty much at your beck and call if you wanted a water taxi into town about 10 minutes. The rooms whilst basic were very good, each has a mezzanine floor for the bedroom and is equipped with a hammock to chill out on. The small terrace area is lovely too with great views. Breakfast is great and so was dinner on the 2 occasions we ate at the hotel. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ilhe Grande. Thanks again Emma and Sam, UK.

    Perfect

    In a beautiful place like Ilha Grande, ideally you need to book a pousada which complements the location. Asalem does just that, with a beautiful view and set so you can jump straight into the water, swim to or take a 5 minute walk to one of the island's beaches.

    Breakfast is the usual you find in Brazil, including cakes, fresh strawberry juice and the best scrambled eggs we had all trip. Guests can use their canoes and there is a boat which takes you to the centre of town (otherwise it's an easy 20-25 minute trek/trail). We saw turtles here too!! The staff are very friendly and helpful.

    This is not a boutique hotel but it's certainly a boutique pousada. Highly recommended and do contact me if you want to ask any questions about it!

    Close to paradise

    Whereas Vila do Abraao, the nearest village, can look like a hell (not a beach but a harbor, a crowd of tourists and nothing except pousadas and restaurants), Asalem is very close to paradise... A peaceful environment with the most beautiful landscape I've ever seen from a window, a nice wooden house nearly lost in a great garden, wonderful meals and, above all, the impression of being at home with such nice hosts! They're really helpful and friendly, have free dvd and books to read, kayaks, etc. This place is more expensive than most of the pousadas in Vila do Abraao, but nevertheless, after spending one night in the village, I'm very glad we moved to Asalem for the rest of our stay - and I wish we could stay longer!

    Romantic place

    The stuff is professional and kind, thank you Paula, Paulo and Jack.
    It is recommended to eat a dinner in the hotel, they have a great chef!
    In general, everything is great except the price that a couple need to pay for the taxi boat of the hotel. If a couple want to take a taxi boat to the center and back to the hotel, it will cost R$ 30 (US$15). Another way is to walk 20 minutes to the center during the daylight (only).

    Peaceful paradise...

    We enjoyed our time in Asalem and this is a place we would definitely go back to. The place is secluded and it gives you an enjoyable and private experience in Ilha Grande, far from the 'touristy' hotels and groups(yet just a few minutes trip with Asalem`s boat if you need to get there), this gives you a peaceful and relaxing time. A few tips:
    - remember to bring bugs repellent for you to wear
    - tennis shoes are recommended for the hiking trails between the pousada and the beaches
    - wifi signal is not the strongest so dont plan on using your laptop from your room (which is great as you should relax here!) - but they do have a computer for you to use at the reception for you to use if you have to
    - property does have a few staircases to go to different levels, so it is not highly recommended for the elderly or disabled
    The food was very good, the views are amazing and the staff is very helpful. They can provide information about things to do during your stay, recommendations on restaurants, etc.
    We found that the price here was a little bit more than other pousadas, but the experience was more than worth the difference.
    It is indeed a peaceful paradise!

    Room tip: All the standard rooms are on the same level and have great view. The eco suites are really nice and have a higher view, but they are literally a few steps from the standard rooms.
