This pousada is lovely! Right on the beach front. We got last room available at the back of the complex, at the rear garden for a discount and was really good and very quiet! Very clean and nice room. Breakfast is great, big variety of fresh fruit every morning! The staff are all extremely helpful and friendly. Ana and Meme... More

Stayed at this wonderful pousada during Christmas - it was fantastic. The staff, very helpful, making you feel apart of their family.

I can't say enough about this place....the people, the location, the food, all were absolutely wonderful. I felt as though I was staying in a paradise with beloved family members only the family members were the Ancoradoura staff! There is nothing the staff would not do to help you make your stay as enjoyable as possible. I could go on... More

The room was very clean and I had a small fridge to keep cool drinks close at hand. The safe was very convenient as well. I had a small problem with... More

My partner and I were there around Easter 2010 and were overly pleased with Ancoradouro and their staff. Every email previous to our arrival was answered correctly and politely, and there was someone waiting for us at the ferry terminal upon our arrival. They also recommended a great tour agency for our transfers in-out of Rio. The rooms were great,... More

I think this pousada in Ilha grande has one of the best personnel I found in Brazil. Meme was very helpful to help me to change the schedule, so the owner. The pousada itself is a bit above average (do not forget the standard there), clean and with nice breakfast. The best is the location (close the action of the... More
