I'm not sure what's going on with Che Lagarto on Ilha Grande, but it definitely doesn't have anything to do with cleanliness. This was by far the worst hostel I've EVER stayed in. During the course of our three day stay, we changed rooms three times, the staff seemed quite clueless about all of this, and tried to tell us... More

Ended up staying nearly a week here. Had the most amazing view of the bay from our balcony. Would definatley stay here again . Happy hour on the caipinhas was great. Very friendly staff who took us out partying one night ,

The hotel is about 10 to 13 minutes walk away from the main town of Abraao. To get there, if you have carry on luggage, you will need the assistance of a "carreteiro" (a guy with a cart). Once we were installed, the room was very basic. And it costs costs about the same price as the much nicer hotels... More

The hotel is located in a nice part of the island but unfortunately it is kind of far away from Vila do Abraão which is the The largest village on the island. If you have big luggage be sure to have someone you can help you to carry with them since you will walk around 10mins in the sand. This... More

The hostel is located in a spectacular area. The staff is friendly and helpful. I stayed only one night in order to dive the following day. The rooms are very tight and the doors and walls need repairing. The musty smell is strong. The breakfast is reasonable. When you arrive from the ferry to the hostel, you need walk a... More

Staff was excellent. We had problems with our reservation and they gave us a room with a balcony overlooking the water and offered us a free drink. It is small gestures like this that makes you overlook the bad and highlight the good. That said, I have to be fair in rating the hostel. Anyone who has backpacked through Brazil... More

I hated it! Noisy, poor quality rooms and bathrooms. Did their best to keep them clean. Music played til 1am, quietened down by 3am, NO soundproofing, Good service, fair breakfast, gorgeous deck perched over the sea. Extremely Expensive for what it is, same price as guest houses nearer the town in much better condition and better breakfasts (ended up moving... More

Despite a very nice localization with a cute view on the sea, I do not recommend this hotel. The administration is disorganized. Both times I went there were some problems with booking: ex. I was awaken at 3 am by a man who was telling me that I was sleeping in his bed; when I asked for help on the... More

Well, This hostel is dirty, very noisy and about all, very expensive for what they offer. The regular fare is 55reais to be in a dorm of 6 people with a view on a... trash. This is for the room 4. The breakfast was very simple and every day the same, without juice and with collective butter . There is... More
