Pousada Portal do Sol

What a magical place! We had an amazing NYE and weekend here. The breakfast is incredible. Fresh eggs, baked goods and the ripest, most delicious fruit you have ever tasted. The owner/manager Andreeza couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. She helped us book water taxis and tours (and they picked us up/dropped us off directly at the hotel so no need to taxi to Abraão Village first), allowed us to hang out on the beach before/after our check-in and out, and prepared the most amazing New Year's Eve dinner for her family and all of the guests at the pousada. The views are jaw-droppingly incredible from here, with the bay, the mountains, and the sunsets/rays of sunlight over the mountains. It was dreamy. The room is a little rustic, but that's to be expected staying in the jungle. Bug repellent is key. The food and the drinks are super reasonably priced and delicious. The capirinhas were actually too strong for me, but they were affordable and tasted great! You cannot beat staying here to have the little beach and the amazing views, and it's great to not be in the middle of the crazy in the village, but it's easy to get over there in the taxi boat for dinner, etc. I also loved their water conservation efforts. Highly recommend!

This place is really special for a place to get away from it all. You are away from the main town and can only really get there by boat so be prepared for that. However the hotel offers a boat service which will get you there in just a couple of minutes and isn't very expensive, or if you're feeling adventurous you can use the canoes that they have free of charge. It's well worth it to have the private beach and amazing views of the island. We even found ourselves swimming right beside a turtle one day! The staff are very friendly and helpful - contrary to what other reviewers have said, we didn't find it a problem that they don't speak much English. We don't speak any Portuguese, but made an effort to try a few words and with a lot of pointing and smiling we got on just fine. Definitely recommend this place.

Gostaria de destacar o excelente atendimento que tivemos. O local é sensacional e tudo funciona muito bem. Lugar pra relaxar. Experiência única!

El lugar es muy acogedor y el trato y servicio fue muy bueno , nos fuimos contentos para volver

Super séjour dans ce petit coin de paradis de l’île. Excentré du centre, mais très accessible avec sa navette, cet établissement est un vrai havre de paix, avec de multiples activités inclues : kayak, billard, plage privée, plongée ... Petit déjeuner très appréciable, et possibilité de dîner sur place. Chambre avec vue sur l’ocean ... Bref, nous ne pouvons que recommander Pousada Portal do Sol !

Pousada située au calme, à l'écart de la ville. Service de bateau pour se rendre en ville. Les excursions passent à l'hôtel pour prendre et déposer les touristes. Petite plage privée bien aménagée. Possibilité de faire du kayak. Hôtesse très accueillante et service excellent.

El paraiso; excepcional lugar y servicio. Volveria siempre. Muy recomendado!!!

Fantastic team, warm welcome, excellent english/spanish/german speaking team. the place is definitely very charming ! No hesitation this is the pousada to stay in.

Todo muy lindo, había reservado 5 noches de las cuales estuve 4 por condiciones climáticas y Andrésa me devolvió la seña de la última noche. Volveré
