Reviews of Asalem

Went for a quiet chalet to be close to nature. Had construction going on for the whole time we were there. No one told us that metal grinding, and railing assembly was going to take place right outside our accommodation. Staff never offered any option to move. Near by beach pumps loud music all day that can be heard from inside the accommodation. So if you came to enjoy peace & serenity, you’re out of luck.

Location

It was very tired and in need of an upgrade it wasn’t good value in that respect

Location

Ageing room, some defects, unusual policy regarding umbrellas, if you need to use one you get charged the cost of buying it.

Beautiful setting and view

A bit expensive relative other places

Perfect for those who need quietness and a beautiful place to stay

Lack of hot water in the shower but it’s not really inconvenient with a tropical weather

Exceptional, remote location Room with an amazing, breathtaking view on the bay Very nice and caring staff Good caipirinhas and appreciated happy hour

For such a hotel, transfers to and from the hotel/village by boat should be free during the whole stay, not only at check in/check out. Especially at night where the only way to get back is by boat. The massage mattress did not smell good- seemed like it was placed in a moist room without windows for too long.

the view was amazing. also it had a special charme and was very quiet. the taxi boats had a great availability.

the dinner has room for improvement but it was still good.

Beautiful, quiet property. Excellent food. Incredible staff.

Everything about Asalem was wonderful - the location, the view, the room. The staff were helpful in every way. I cannot say enough good things about our stay. Thank you.

I found no downsides.

Everything. The staff was super nice and supportive with everything we needed! Location was also amazing with incredible sunsets at the bar.

Great spot just a quick boat ride away from the main village / Very good breakfast with lots of choices / Kayak is available at the dock to explore the bay / Staff is friendly and ready to assist with island adventures

Besides the check-in/check-out process, boat rides are priced at 20 R$ per person each way / Facilities could use some modernization and maintenance / Modern exterior does not quite match the interior style of the rooms / Outdated bathrooms

Incredible location and view from the room’s balcony, as well as gorgeous views from breakfast and the bar/sunbathing deck - perfect for watching the sunset. Staff very friendly and helpful, and the boat taxis to and from the town (Abraao) were super easy to use. The bar serves amazing Caipirinhas on the edge of the water with a daily happy hour early evening too!

The room we had overlooked a stunning view which was worth the price alone. The location was truly incredible and made it a special getaway spot.

The breakfast was not covered well, so it was attracting a lot of insects, making some of it inedible. The timing of the boat shuttle was not per schedule most times, so there were slight wait times, but it was no issue once you were prepared for it.

Location just outside of the town meant it was peaceful and with beautiful views Delicious food and drink at the hotel Staff were helpful and friendly Great massages

It was sometimes hard to get hold of the staff to get a boat which did leave us waiting for 30 mins late at night

Location and view, bar / sun bathing area

We had a few issues with communication in terms of ordering the boat to collect us from the main pier when we arrived (we waiting 50mins rather than the 10 we were told) and got the wrong food order on one occasion. I wouldn’t say this was a dislike but would advise to double check orders

Location was amazing. Great staff
