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!

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

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.

The entire staff from the front desk, to the boat captains from our transfer from Rio de Janeiro to the drivers Asalem provided gifted us impeccable service. We couldn’t have chosen a better destination for our honeymoon. I will reserve any more compliments, because I want Asalem to maintain it’s peaceful atmosphere. Obrigado

We were looking forward to our stay at Asalem. I had planned this trip for months and had great expectations for this property. The place looked amazing on pictures, the location was perfect. On site we arrived late afternoon, the hostess was great and dinner was ok. The following day breakfast service was great. However our rooms did not look like in the pictures, the rooms were old, with chipped wood and cracked slabs. The worst was the wholes in the sheets and the bedding and towels were in poor shape and even with mold. The bathrooms were old and had a bad smell but most of all they were not clean. My daughter and I used our sandals to shower as we did not want to step on the shower bare foot. The floor of the rooms, the outlets, curtains, doors were all in bad shape and in urgent need of repair. My family was very disappointed and even though we had originally planned to extend our stay, we decided one night there had been enough. I am sure their newer rooms are better and that everything is great there but the pictures are not accurate to the current state, the property should show current pictures of the older units so that guests know what they are accepting when booking. Still this does not make up for the lack in higiene.

Overall we were happy with our stay, however if we return to Ilha Grande we probably wont stay here again. The main reasons for this were poor communication and value for money. Regarding communication, as an example, we booked a boat pick up from the property for 10am to take us to a beach. We were told that morning that the boat will arrive between 10 and 10:20am. Despite being ready on time, the boat had left without us and we had to wait a further 45 minutes for another. Also, we were told if we wanted to be picked up Abraao town to go back to the property or vice versa, we had to WhatsApp reception. We did this one evening and got no response despite asking twice for confirmation of whether the boat was going to come. Fortunately it did, however the lack of a response was frustrating. Regarding value for money, we expected the room to be decorated nicer than it was, and also found additional charging annoying e.g. you are charged for the boat transfer into the town, per person, for each way. This was strange considering the price we were paying per night was fairly high, and the alternative was to hike 25 minutes which depending on the time of day, requires you to wade through water. Lastly, we were also Expedia VIP members so expected to recieve our free drink, however this was never mentioned and we never recieved it. On a positive note, the property was very clean, breakfast was good, and the view from the room was lovely.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen und entspricht nicht mehr den Bildern. Wir hatten nicht nur braunes Wasser, leider auch zu keinem Zeitpunkt richtig warmes / heißes Wasser. Es wird für alles eine extra Gebühr berechnet. Beispielsweise kann kann man keinen Schirm leihen, nur kaufen. Um in die Stadt zu kommen muss man das Boot für 4€ pro Person pro Strecke nehmen. Wir würden trotz der Aussicht nicht mehr hierher kommen.

Honteux !!! Hormis la vue qui est absolument magnifique, cet hôtel est une vrai arnaque. On parle ici de chambres à 200€ la nuit , donc on peut s’attendre à un minimum de prestations. Il n’en n’est rien !!!!. Les chambres basiques sont à fuir . Vieux , vétuste , usées ,rafistolées,odeur de moisie, eau chaude aléatoire . Du coup c’est vraiment trop cher!!!pour la prestation. De plus il faut savoir que l’on ne peut pas rejoindre le village à pieds ,sauf à marée basse.Donc prévoir 40rs par personne pour l’aller retour en bateau , qui est plutôt une épave flottante !!. Et le petit plus pour la fin: ils ont voulus nous facturer l’utilisation du parapluie mis à disposition dans la chambre….. Le soir , il n’y a plus personne du staff , il vaut donc mieux ne pas avoir un problème vu l’isolement de l’hôtel. Bref ilha grande oui, Asalem non et non!!

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.
