Pousada Carpe Diem Ilha Grande

- The staff was very kind and friendly. They made us feel at home. We especially thank Lucas, Fernando, Wendell and Andrea! They made everything possible to make the stay comfortable for us. They showed us around, gave us great tips, went on a kayak adventure with us. I think the staff is the biggest asset of this Pousada. We stayed at another Pousada on the same beach and we didn't feel as nearly welcome. - The team have provided (on demand) vegan breakfast and they had a few vegan dinner options. In addition, the chef made a on demand vegan dinner for us, which we really liked and appreciated it. - The location is very nice: right outside the beach. A few beaches can be accessed on foot. The furthest one is reportedly 3 hours on foot one-way. Otherwise, there is several boat companies catering to that area. - The kayaks are a big plus. - Great location to observe the wild life. They provide snorkels but I highly recommend bringing your own, which we did! - The friendly dogs are definitely a big plus! They helped us not miss our own furries kids back home! - Our stay was 10/10.

There were a few downsides. But the positives OUTWEIGH the negatives. I am just leaving them here as a feedback for the Pousada to consider for future guests. They were really minute details. - The communication between the owner, management, staff members could be improved. - Being in a touristic holiday spot, they should hire (more) English speaking staff. - Wi-Fi in our room was not working. But we saw it as an opportunity to detox. - Arriving at the beach from Angra costs 100 BRL one way + a newly introduced tax, I think 50 BRL. Perhaps, the Pousada might consider making an arrangement with the boat companies for a discount for guests. But the location is definitely worth it.

This is a new and modern Pousada in a lovely quiet location towards the edge in the main beach. With direct access to the beach and loungers with amazing views of the sea and sunsets. The staff are all super friendly and made us feel welcome and looked after. Lovely food too throughout the day. They keep it very clean. Free use of kayaks etc

The pousada is one of the furthest from the main pier so quite a walk but it looked like they were building a new one nearer. We had help with our bags so wasn’t a problem.

La pousada est magnifique et elle est décorée avec goût. Elle est située sur la très belle plage de Araçatiba ou tous les soirs on peut admirer un magnifique coucher de soleil sur la mer et les montagnes. A la pousada vous pouvez réserver des excursions pour faire le tour de l'île et visiter la magnifique plage de Lopes Mende. Vous pouvez aussi aller à pied à la lagoa verde et nager avec les poissons tropicaux et les tortues. L'équipe de la pousada est très agréable et prépare d'excellents plats pour le déjeuner ou le dîner. En bref un petit paradis au milieu de la nature.
