Pousada D´Pillel

Well-located poussada with friendly staff and absolutely lovely backyard where breakfast was held (which was delicious). It’s located right in town, but just a tad remote enough that it’s super quiet. The AC was also super efficient, as canadians, we were very happy! The staff were very friendly and willing to help us even after checking out The few negatives were that the room had a moldy smell, but it went away with the AC. The bathroom was also not very appealing. Lastly, the room service was only every 3 days, which felt a bit far especially for the bathroom toilet. Still, I would definitely recommend this place!

Lovely pousada, quiet location in the town, excellent breakfast varied each day, really helpful staff on reception, good WiFi connection, lovely garden setting. Room fairly small but comfortable, nice view over garden with hammock and chairs. Short walk to ferry (5 mins). Recommended.

It is similar to Bed n Breakfast. Very good location, beautiful garden where you can have breakfast or just relax. Breakfasts are amazing, with a lot of choices and fruits, and it all tastes amazing. The staff is very friendly, they give you a lot of tips what to do on the island and help you with booking the trips. They are also accommodating when it comes to check in or check out, and they can help you with a transfer from and to Rio. There is a common room with pingpong , board games and books/dvds. The room was clean and had everything you need. The only thing I will say, I recommend paying slightly more for a better room. We had a first level room which was not great as there was a constant noise from laundry room and kitchen, we had a balcony that would be open to the inner side of the pousada, so if you wanted to chill on the balcony you’d have other people walking up and down the stairs. Also the air circulation in this room is not great, but the fan was enough and we didn’t have to use an AC. If you want to come to the island be prepared that everything is more expensive than in Rio, including restaurants, souvenir shops, etc.

Good: hammocks on the balcony, decent breakfast, central location. Bad: very noisy AC, uncomfortable bed, dark rooms which makes them look less clean. The staff was friendly and helpful though. At this island you don’t spend a lot of time in the room but for me it was important to have a restful sleep which I didn’t manage.

The pillows and bed are very uncomfortable, on top of that the room was very dark, grim and dirty. I honestly don’t know how this hotel can have an average of 4 stars … I can understand that on the island there are no very high class restaurants but, this doesn’t even allow air conditioning without an extra payment, the service is not good. For what it is, it can be considered even expensive.

Nice place overall, well located in the center of Abraão, common areas with coffee, pingpong table and games available all day. Place is esthetically pleasing with nice heavy wooden furnitures. Staff is welcoming and accommodating. Breakfast is ok while not spectacular. However, the catch is that the rooms are not cleaned during your stay. We spent three nights there and no one went to clean, empty the trashcan, or replace bedsheets and towels. This is not exactly what you would expect at an hotel. When asked about this the reception mentioned that their policy changed due to Covid and that they won’t go to your room unless explicitly asked to do so, and only to change bedsheets and towels after a minimum of three days. Few other minor issues: If you want to use AC you will be charged a fee per night Little bit of noise can be heard from the city bu nothing too bad Mosquitos inexplicably manage to sneak in the rooms despite the nets.

I was there for 3 nights vacationing with my mother. Accommodation is great, cozy, clean and quiet, fills all basic requirements. The extra touch comes from ambiance and staff. The Inn has really good space and the back area is just so pretty. After breakfast - which is amazing by the way - you have a nice place to relax and enjoy the surroundings before starting your plans for the day. Staff is really helpful and the manager have good tips for excursions and also can get you better offers in some of them. If you're not looking for camping I highly recommend this place. Also is near everything in the island (but it's a very small island, it would be difficult not to).

There are so many places to stay on this beautiful little island. My brother randomly booked this hotel for my wife and I not knowing how good or bad it would be, and thankfully it is a very nice accommodation. It is set back from town where all the action is, but set back on this island is a ten minute walk from the beachfront. ||||The owner and his wife are really friendly and speak great English, but most of their staff only speak very limited English, so when we arrived we had to wait a little while they tracked down the owner. We didn't mind a bit though as it really should be on us to learn some of the local language than expect everyone to be fluent in English. One of the owners, Vivian, is well travelled and so she totally understands the needs of traveling guests. She knows all the best places to go, and where to eat on the island. She's also very friendly one evening I think we just got into a conversation and chatted about life the universe and everything for about about an hour, mostly sharing travel stories. They also have snorkeling equipment for guests to use. ||||The rooms are small, but are clean and have everything you need. The place has a lot of character, you can tell that it is a family run guest house. They certainly picked an interesting color scheme to paint the walls, but somehow it works. There is a little balcony that overlooks the garden complete with a hammock to chill in with book. It is very different from any commercially run hotel. You wouldn't want stay in a Marriott or a Hilton on this island anyway, it's just not that kind of destination. ||||A very nice and simple breakfast buffet is served each morning, with lots of fresh fruit, which one should definitely take advantage of because as there are no cars on the island you will be walking everywhere, and you'll need something to give you energy. ||||All in all a very nice place to stay at a very reasonable price.
