Reviews of Pousada Cachoeira

Beautiful poussada just under 10 mins from town. Loved the nature setting, the outdoor dining area, the constant sound of the waterfall, birds, frogs, etc. really special atmosphere. It was quiet and peaceful but we still met other guests in the common areas and made good friends, went on hikes together, etc. loved staying out in our patio area at night, reading or chatting. We extended our stay as it was so nice!

Showers could have been a little warmer! Also, not the pousada's fault, but there were parties in near by areas at night some times, with a bit of loud music, which was a shame if you were wanting a relaxing evening. But they didn't go on all night, and it wasn't every night.

It is tucked away above the village. Very quiet location. Owner is very friendly and helpful. Kitchen well equipped for making own meals - none provided. Rooms basic but clean Good WiFi

Nothing

Beautiful Pousada. Has absolutely everything you could want if looking for a cosy experience immersed in the jungle of Ilha Grande. For that reason it’s slightly further walk (only 5min) from the town but that’s a good thing. The owner and team are so nice. Lots of wildlife and lots of cats!

Much better than expected. Clean, friendly staff and green. Love the jungle/Garden.

Although a little further away from the main town, the privacy and secluded feeling couldn’t be beat! Well equipped kitchen facilities with ample room for multiple guests. You could tell staff cared about the presentation of the property and it was well maintained daily.

Our bunk was a little unstable and would benefit from some additional support.

Nicely stocked and clean kitchen and nice communal garden

Rooms were hot and fans didnt blow towards the bed. One of the rooms didnt have a balcony even though we booked both with balcony

Lovely comfortable room with AC. Peaceful place. Great communal kitchen and outdoor seating area.

The terrace is beautiful, would love to spend more time there. Every room has it's own hammock. Staff was nice.

Room is extremely basic, old and bed is not comfortable. Bathroom looks terrible and the toilet was making sounds throughout the night.

Very roots, exactly the vibe we were looking for!

The bed was a bit hard for us

Location was fantastic. Very beautiful hotel and city. The staff also very friendly

Incredible location, very relaxing.

Noise from the laundry upstairs at all hours. Rude staff. I only requested my room to be made up once during my stay of over a week (I don't need fresh sheets and towels everyday). The staff member took the sheet, but didn't replace it. It happened to be really cold that night, so I had an awful night's sleep. Staff members seem to prefer shouting their conversations from a distance with guests in the middle, including me taking some work calls. Really frustrating.

The pousada is set in beautiful wild gardens with a stream you can hear trickling by. The bedroom was one of the nicest they have which was given to us as we were on honeymoon albeit with a wider group of friends too. The guy at reception was very helpful, arranged us transportation, spoke perfect english and was super responsive by text. There is a fridge in the room and the bed and pillows were comfy. You can use the communal kitchen area. The Terrace outside the room has a hammock and space to air laundry.

The room didn't smell great - like sewage. I mentioned this to the cleaner on arrival and she told me the room was clean. I agreed it was very clean, it was just a smell issue. It was quite overpowering making me gag. She was defensive and used google translate to tell me they had put flowers on the bed because its our honeymoon and that's just how the rooms smell. After this there was an unpleasant vibe from the cleaner which was quite uncomfortable. Its hard to be able to address legitimate issues if its met with that kind of response. The rooms are small so with two suitcases to open up its a struggle to move around. The location is also hard to get to if you have suitcases, as it's quite a way up a long hill. Its very dark at night in places. If mobility is an issue or you just want an easy walk to town then this isn't going to be ideal. We stayed here as our friends had already booked it, in hindsight it's a bit too rustic for our needs and preferences. But not so bad that we couldn't stay. If your looking for cheap and basic it'll do just fine!

Quiet place in nature!

Nice setting in a tropical garden, next to a stream, where you can watch little (humming)birds fly by. There are 5 black cats on site and a communal space to relax in. Some rooms have hammocks in front. It's relatively quiet. Decent wifi.

We don't understand all the positive reviews, really .... In actuality the rooms are very basic and rustic, not at all like the photos posted. Our ' deluxe' room (also a misleading descriptionl) was very musty and had an unpleasant smell because of the strong humidity. Cleanliness could have been better. The bed was very hard and not comfortable. Not all staff was equally friendly either and no one spoke any English.

The pousada is located a few hundred meters away from the busy part of the island, close to a river. Perfectly decorated for beach goers as well as backpackers.

n/a - it’s perfect :)
