We loved our stay at Pousada Tagomago.
Firstly, the views were stunning. We loved having breakfast on the deck each morning looking over the sea.
Secondly, the breakfast was exceptional, each morning we received a platter or fresh fruit, a bread basket, ham, cheese and eggs. There was also a "buffet style" selection of cakes, cereals, juices and coffee.
The location was perfect, out of the centre slightly but 1 min walk to the beach and to numerous restaurants and bars. It takes 10 mins to reach the centre by a nice stroll along the beach.
If you have a heavy suitcase, contact them in advance and they will arrange for someone to collect your case from the dock. We did this on the way back, well worth the small amount paid!
The room was perfect. On the first night our aircon didn't seem to work, the fixed it straight away when we told them the next morning.

A beautiful stay

We stayed at Tagomago for 6 nights and wished it could of been longer. The room is basic but very clean with air conditioning, fan and mosquito net. I loved sitting in the hammock on the balcony looking at the beautiful view. The breakfast is delicious and there is so much. Coffee and home baked cakes are also available though the day. All the staff are helpful, friendly and welcoming. I hope to stay again one day.

A beautiful place to stay

Lovely three days in Tagomago. 

+ Breakfast is absolutely excellent, we looked forward to it every day
+ Host is sweet
+ Views are amazing, proper sea/beach view
+ Location wise - yes it is up quite steep steps which was difficult with luggage, but without a big bag it's no bother. It's a 2-min walk to the beach and some of the better-rated restaurants on the island (Lua e Mar is amazing). It's not super, super close to the port but still probably only 15 mins or so, so it's not too painful.
+ The room was SOOOOOOOOOOOO quiet. I had the best night's sleep here, genuinely ever. 

In terms of cons, there's not really much to say. The main problem we had was not finding it at first because Google wasn't very good - just watch the video the reception send you. The bathroom is simple, the shower was ok but not very strong. What do you expect really. It was fine. There were some shampoo sachets in the bathroom. 

Comfy, cosy, lovely sleep

Fantastic place.
Delicious breakfast made with lots of love.
Good accommodations.
Friendly staff.

We had fun there. Already missing the place... and the cat!

Tips: there are some stairs to go up.
The hammocks are very comfy.

Nice pousada in the middle of a jungle!

This place is a bit difficult to get to with luggage (up a staircase alley), but the balcony views make it worthwhile. The staff will also help carry your luggage from/to the dock if asked in advance, and the management is super friendly. However, what let this place down seriously was the stained/filthy sheets. I threw the cover back after a long day, ready to sleep, only to discover the horror in the attached photos. I do not care if the bedsheets were clean, but simply stained. Without being able to confirm one way or another, I simply could not sleep on those nasty-looking sheets. Fortunately, I had both a double bed and single bed in my room, so I stripped the stained/dirty sheets from the large bed, and re-made it using the sheets from the small bed (which thankfully were not stained). The staff/management should have known that no guest would want to sleep on filthy-looking sheets, so should not have thought it was acceptable. They let themselves down here. Thumbs down.

Stunning views, friendly management but stained sheets

+ 
pousada very well located

- 

Missing mosquitoes net, only a few beds have one whereas there are millions of mosquitoes.

Only hôtel without an electricity generator on the island ( stayed for 2 entire days without electricity ).

The WiFi connection is a joke.

Juices for the breakfasts are far too much diluted into water.

Pousada manager did welcomed us warmly and overall had a bad attitude. 

 

Nice view bad service 

We loved Pousada Tagomago.  It's at the end of the beach, a short walk through the sand to your left when you get off the ferry boat at the dock.  It has it's own private walkway from the beach up to the pousada, which was about 200 steps.  The hostess and her two sons were lovely to work with.  Breakfast was delicious.  Our stay was very private and quiet.  We loved it!

Ilha Grande Hideaway

Lovely pousada, managed by Claudia and her son. They're very kind and helpful! The room was very nice with the most amazing view over the bay! I saw other reviews talking about the distance from the pier. I personally, found it was not so far. Only 10 minutes by the (sandy) 'road' and even less over the beach :) We arranged via Claudia that our suitcases would be picked up. Although you'll walk sand from the beach very easily in the room and the humidity at the island, they are able to keep the rooms very clean. I've never seen a room so clean on a tropical island!

Keep in mind that you have to walk some stairs to get to the pousada. If you're generally fit, this should be absolutely no problem :)

Great pousada, cleanest room I've ever seen on a tropical island

The service here was the best we had in all of Brazil. Claudia is extremely welcoming and does anything she can to make your stay pleasant. The location of the Pousada is good in that it is a short walk to the main town and also steps from some of the best food on the island. Please note a few things as they did catch me off guard. If you have a rolling suitcase it does take about 15 minutes through sand or dirt road. You can secure someone to handle your luggage once you arrive on the island and then Claudia's staff handles the luggage on the way back. It is very modest living in the Pousada but it truly helps you feel the escape of everyday reality. If you are headed to ihla grande I highly recommend this Pousada.

Highly recommended to visit the island

We stayed at Tagomago for a full week now in February. The lodge is located hillside and it was awkward to reach and exhausting to climb the steps with luggage when we arrived on a very hot day. Would strongly advise you to contact the hotel in advance as they offer to meet you at the ferry and carry the luggage for you. 

The room has a very nice view and a good sized balcony but otherwise it is very basic. There is no wardrobe but only a small shelf to place clothes on. Little attention to details and just small things could make it much nicer. 

The air conditioning worked but was difficult to calibrate and was very noisy when on, in fact so noisy we had problems sleeping. 

Breakfast was excellent and the family running the hotel ever so nice and friendly. We missed a friendly smile and good morning from a very grumpy man assisting with breakfast...

WiFi connection was really a joke. It failed to deliver throughout our stay so we had to go down to the cafe on the beach for surfing the net. 

We thought the value was a little low and that the hotel was overpriced considering what was delivered. We paid approximately 110€ per night for a very basic room with poor internet. We realize that Ilha Grande is expensive and assuming this price strategy works as not much competition... 

We therefore score the hotel with *** only due to the value, air conditioning and internet 

We had a good time though and the island is fantastic.
