+We really enjoyed our stay at Asalem. The property gives you a true island experience , peaceful, authentic, and surrounded by nature. It really felt like we were experiencing the real Ilha Grande rather than staying at a typical hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and we were very pleasantly surprised to receive an upgrade to the better room simply because it was available. It was such a nice gesture and made our stay even more special. We also loved the atmosphere of the property. It has a very warm, personal feeling and almost feels like a family-run business, which made us feel comfortable and well taken care of. One of our biggest surprises was the breakfast. We expected a fairly small selection given how intimate and remote the property is, but the breakfast was actually very good and had plenty of options. Overall, Asalem was a lovely experience and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic and peaceful stay on Ilha Grande.
−There are a few things to keep in mind. The property is not newly renovated, and while almost everything is generally in good condition, it does not have that fresh, recently renovated feel. The sheets could also have felt a little fresher, although the towels were perfectly fine. The beach is about a five-minute walk through the jungle. This was not a problem for us, and we actually enjoyed the short walk, but the path is quite rocky and can be slippery in places, so it might be less convenient for someone looking for an easy, comfortable walk to the beach. The beach itself was nice, but by the end of the day the water was noticeably less clean because of the number of boats in the area. We also didn’t have the best weather during our stay, so we didn’t swim much. In late August, the water felt quite cold to us and wasn’t particularly comfortable for swimming. Overall, these were relatively minor drawbacks for us and did not take away too much from the unique experience of staying at Asalem.

“wonderful and calm setting, amazing views and exciting excursions around the island”
+The atmosphere of this hotel is beautiful, you arrive and you feel like being part of a nice community. Bar and restaurant setting is stunning and the look over the bay was just beautiful. The restaurant had great food options and the staff was extremely helpful and supportive with the individual planning.

+Impecable todo el personal, desde el chico del taxi boat hasta las chicas del desayuno. Párrafo aparte para Vanesa que nos recibió tan bien que nos hizo sentir cómo en casa. La habitación muy amplia y cómoda, y la vista increíble, tanto de la habitación, cómo el sector del desayuno y el bar. Nuestra estadía fue 10/10.

“Moyen”
+L’accueil les personnes étaient accueillante
−La chambre était relativement petite pour 3 personnes, nous avons eu 1 jours de pluie et il y avait des infiltrations d’eau à certains endroits du plafond, nous n’avions pas d’eau chaude à un certain moment, l’établissement est bien placé mais ne se fait qu’en bateau et qu’à certaines tranches d’horaires, sinon il faut le faire à pied mais c’est un peu plus compliqué, je retiens un séjour moyen dans cet établissement, si c’était à refaire je choisirais plus proche d’abrão

“sympa mais ne vaut pas son prix”
+la vue panoramique, le point fort de cet hôtel ! le petit déjeuner et le poisson grillée au top !
−le personnel pas toujours aimaible, limite fuyant. l’attente pour le taxi bateau, ils ne respectent pas les horaires et ne répondent pas sur WhatsApp :/ le prix des chambres suites et les meubles vieillot. l’insonorisation : on entend le bateau de l’hôtel à chaque passage. La wi-fi pas ou peu fonctionnel dans la chambre. les équipement un peu vieillot, le ménage fait à l’arrache.
