Good stuff: 
1. Aircon works great.
2. Clean room (and cleaned daily)

Bad stuff:
1. Door handle fell off twice
2. Breakfast is basically ham & cheese toasties, scrambled eggs, sausage stew and... cake (?!) at least the toasties remained after they took away the eggs and sausages, but then the toaster broke and all that was left was white bread slices, cheap ham and cheese. That's when even trying to eat breakfast stopped having any point.
3. Construction going on (well, can't really blame them too much. They've gotta do it at some point)
4. No one at the reception when I arrive, and speaks barely any English.
5. The cleaner left her keys in my door for half a day. Yay for security?!
6. They clean by using a water hose, rather than a mop or hoover (common areas), flooding the whole place for quite a while, making it barely usable.

Horrible experience in so many ways!

The hotel was recently refurbished and  it is in a calm area of Abraão. There is a river flowing nearby and it is possible to hear the water on the rooms facing the back garden. The disapointment was with the service. Employees were not able to manage issues and did not care much either, my request to change a room because there was a repair service with lots of people right under my window afternoon nap time was ignored. This hotel has no soul and unfortunatelly guests do not feel welcome.

Nice location/ hotel - Bad service

A delicious breakfast, a very nice room and lovely people in charge. We've spent a hole week there. A river crosses the garden. It's a really nice place to stay. I'd recommend for couples, friends or family.

A lovely place, with a river inside!

Our arrival was an inconvenience to them! We had to the search the property to find some working there. She demanded that we had to pay for all 3 nights before seeing the room. We ended up settling and paying half. The room was dirty and there were holes in the side of the windows. When I asked for a mosquito net she said she'll try and find one if we pay the rest; however I was unprepared to pay the rest unless we definitely had a net. The bed clearly hadn't been slept in for ages as it was covered in dust. We decided not to stay the night and tried to explain why to gain a refund but no one there spoke English thus we had no such luck. 

Do not stay here! 

I have spent 2 nights there.
It's difficult to make a review without having a comparaison for this kind of hotel (Pousada) in the same area (Ilha Grande), but anyway, it was very good. Good communication with the staffs, location is good a bite out of the village but it's more quiet, Confortable bed, nice AC and fan , large bathroom and VERY nice outside place for breakfast.

Basic but ok

The Pousada Guapuruvu is about a 10 minute walk from the main boat drop off in town.  The rooms are very clean and beds were comfortable.  

CONS:
They charge $R30/night to use the air con.  
They are unable to accept payment for the rooms by credit card, although many of the other neighbouring pousada's do. 
Over-priced for the quality and type of accommodation.  

PROS:
Friendly and helpful staff.  Good breakfast.  Clean, comfortable and quiet.  Very good Wifi connection in the dining area or nearby rooms. 

Overal a nice stay, and I would recommend the Pousada Guapuruvu.
