The hotel does not justify the price. The view is stunning, but the hotel’s standard is really not. The room is poorly maintained; brown-tinted water comes out of the toilet and sink, and the power outlets and light switches are loose.
Breakfast was good with a decent variety. Dinner and the bar were good as well.
Every time you leave the hotel, you need to coordinate transportation by boat, and the walking path toward the village is very unstable and poorly maintained.
I don’t know who gave them a 4 stars, not even 2.5. I don’t think I would return there.
Perfect stay with beautiful surroundings and genuinely nice staff. Food was amazing (lasagne is a must) and the room was perfect!

I think we got double unlucky where our room was maybe one that hadn’t been renovated yet and we had really bad weather but the accommodation was good quality and well done. The team
If we could stay here longer, we would!! Truly look no further, this is the best hotel with the cutest rooms, perfect views, great food, and wonderful staff. With walkable paths to the beach and to the downtown area (along with private water taxis for transportation if you don’t want to walk), everything was perfect. This was hands down our favorite stop on our honeymoon. I know it will be just as special for anyone who visits!
I Rate this hotel at 4.5 great views and lovely island. Service was great but there was some misunderstanding about our pickup in the city. It is a nice place to get down to basic. They advertised that they have snorkels but didn’t
Asalem is a great place to relax. Very friendly, great views, quiet. Problem for people that have issues with stair climbing as located on a hill and to get to rooms steep stairs have to be dealt with. Bungalows are beautiful and on 2 levels. To get to main bedroom again steep staircase. Bathroom is on lower floor so if you have to get up at night starir case awaits to get to bathroom.
Besides the stairs the hotel is great. You have to take ship from Concecao 15 mins or from angra dos reis 50 mins to abraao on the island a d call hotel for boat pickup as you cannot walk to hotel with heavy luggage.
The hotel boat could be better.
I rate the stay as excellent as the views, the friendliness of the personnel and the hiking and beach options are really great
Perhaps the best hotel at Ilha Grande. Located away from Abrao. 5 min by hotel boat taxi, cost 20 BRL (4 USD) during the day hours and 40 BRL (8 USD) when it is dark, i.e. after 6pm. Walking is impossible for much of the time as the pathway is frequently flooded. Make sure you call/send whatsapp message to the reception in advance about your trips there and back. There is normally one trip every hour. The boat is quite small and at the beginning hard to identify but after a while you get used to it. Location away from Abrao is good for some if one needs a quiet secure place and a disadvantage if you need some more life around but then again using the boat helps in getting a good balance of everything. The property itself is very good, comfortable, the views are stunning. The staff members are very helpful. Regarding Ilha Grande I had a tour around some beaches, which was not bad. However if you wish to visit the best place then forget other beaches and go Lopes Mendes. Getting there is a quest but worth it: you first go by water taxi to Pouso beach (located in inner lagoon, no big waves) and then walk 20 min through the forest. One could walk all the way from Abrao but that is then few hours. The beach closer to sunset is really stunning. Overall, great experience at Ilha Grande. Thanks a lot.
Fabulous location in the forest, with the village of Abraao a short boat ride away. Friendly and helpful staff with good food options on site. My only complaint was that the hot water in the shower wasn’t always hot, but that aside, the hotel and our stay were excellent. Highly recommended.

Very exotic and relaxing. Average standard, but good for Ilha Grande.
The scenery is unmatched. The accommodation provides privacy and a quiet space.
Every morning, I looked forward to waking up so that I could eat their amazing breakfast; everything was fresh: the fruits, the juices, etc.
The majority of the staff were friendly and helpful.
My only criticism is that the wifi did not reach our room. When we wanted to use the wifi, we would have to leave the room in order to get any decent signal.
Overall we loved our stay.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Aslem, during my visit to Ilha Grande. From the moment I arrived, I was thoroughly impressed with the overall experience provided by this fantastic establishment. Aslem excelled in every aspect, including cleanliness, safety measures, staff and service, as well as the impeccable property conditions.
We spent 4 nights at Asalem. We enjoyed our time very much. We stayed at the chalet which was spacious and has amazing views of the bay. The hotel serves the best caipirinhas in town and the food they serve is also very good. There are lots of steps to take each day so you have to be fit enough to climb those. A little boat brings you to the village and back. It’s a very special place we can highly recommend.
The entire staff from the front desk, to the boat captains from our transfer from Rio de Janeiro to the drivers Asalem provided gifted us impeccable service. We couldn’t have chosen a better destination for our honeymoon. I will reserve any more compliments, because I want Asalem to maintain it’s peaceful atmosphere. Obrigado
