We rented out the entire Sagu Mini Resort for 4 days in May 2009 for our wedding. At the end of the four days, we and our guests were very satisfied, even the very picky and demanding ones. Strong points: -beautiful and well maintained facilities right up against the rain forest for the most part -most rooms had a great... more

Do not stay here. There are a hundred other pousadas in IG with a better location that are much cheaper. The transfer price quoted in our confirmation email increased significantly when we tried to book it from Rio, so we arranged our own transportation. When we got to the dock, there was no one from Sagu around, and we had... more

This is a delightful small hotel on Ilha Grande. The island is very much tailored for backpackers and this hotel breaks that mould. It isn't a large luxurious complex but a lovely quaint small hotel right by the sea and just a short stroll from a few beaches. We had booked the transfer from the airport in Rio and having... more

If you want to relax with a book or three in a hammock, looking out on breathtakingly beautiful scenery, then this is the place to stay. Accommodation is simple but comfortable, the owner is a tad gruff but very helpful, and the staff are a joy (especially Agatha in the restaurant). Dozens of restaurants are within 10-15 minutes walk, none... more

Top notch accommodations, great view, secluded location but close to town, clean, modern, european. Owned by an Italian and run with his daughter. When I was there, Angie was managing the place and she was outstanding. Found me a room even though I was a walk-in, was attentive, interesting and very friendly. Plus, she spoke perfect english. Too bad she... more

We stayed at Sagu Mini Resort for five days in November 2008 and loved it. The room was spacious, delicate and clean. We had a big room with two floors, two bedrooms and a 20 m2 balcony. We loved the sea view from the balcony, and especially the hammock. The breakfast was good and the staff was extremely friendly and... more

We got off to a very bad start at Sagu as it rained for 3 days and the christmas dinner was the worst dinner I have paid for in years, even if we got the food in before the guys writing the previous review. things improved as we discovered their gem in the staff, a lovely Italian lady, the weather... more

I was not at all impressed with Sagu, and the unjustified price makes the choice to stay there sting even more. Firstly, the location ended up being more a burden than a blessing. The tours, shops, restaurants, nightlife etc are all a 20 minute walk away, and that walk involves varying depths of beach water, littered and soiled paths etc... more

On this beautiful island this is one of the few high end options. Very friendly staff make for a great time. Can't fault it really, aside from don't get ripped off with the transfer from Rio at 480 Reis. A decent cab will take you there for 250 Reis and then take the fantastic catamaran for 20 Reis each. more
