Andrade and his team have got hospitality down to a fine art. The care and willingness to go above and beyond is extraordinary. Both Andrade and Leonardo met me off the boat and carried my suitcase to the hotel, doing the same as I left. As an older women travelling alone and not speaking Portuguese, this was so welcoming and caring. The hotel is simple, very clean with a wonderful breakfast especially the fruit juices, fresh fruit and cakes. I also ate my dinners there: simple and deliciously cooked fish. Andrade was full of good advice, and with the help of google translate and photos, I set off to the Green lagoon (a must) and three other beaches. My boat was leaving mid afternoon and I was kindly given a late checkout so I could have full use of the room until I left. I was even given another towel. I cannot speak highly enough of the team. Thank you!

The place was spotless and the staff was super helpful and kind. Andrade cooks beautifully - highly recommend having dinner there. We loved the breakfast, especially the cakes, and again, the staff's hospitality really made our stay special. The location is superb if you want to stay on this side of the island - we could reach a few good spots by foot. It was a short stay, but we really loved it.

Pousada Tropical Araçatiba is a wonderful hotel only 2 mins away from the beach. What was most exceptional about our stay was the welcoming and hospitable staff. Our time on the island was so special, made more so by the warmth and generosity of Andrade and his team. They put so much into making their guests’ stay as comfortable and memorable as possible, and nothing was too much to ask. Andrade is an exceptional host, and very helpful in arranging the trips we wanted to do, as well as recommendations for restaurants and helping with transfers to our next destination and back to the airport. They offer a wide selection of breakfast, lunch and dinner options, and the cocktails are delicious - perfect to wind down with after a day of exploring! We absolutely recommend staying at Pousada Tropical Araçatiba, and hope one day to return and see Andrade and his team again.

What’s not to like - Andrade and his team were very welcoming and friendly. They went out of their way to give us tips about the area and organised everything we needed. The food, particularly the breakfast, was exceptional. We’ll be back. Obrigada!

We had a perfect stay at Tropical Aracatiba. Andrade and all his other staff are amazingly friendly and helpful people that made our stay truly fantastic. They offered help with travelling to and from the Island, recommended us tours and trips to do and served great food. Our room was also very great and well cleaned every day. The location is perfect, right at the beach with cristal clear water and also connected to sorrunding hiking trails. Highly reccomandable!

Breakfast is delicious and has a lot of variety. Andrade the owner is always available to arrange tours and transfers from the port. Poussada is 2 minutes from the beach and is equipped with everything to relax (pool, hammock). We had a lovely stay.

My stay was excellent. Andrade and his team are so welcoming it is incredible. I got a very heavy sunburn the other day and it was impossible to get to get lotion on the island. Andrade organized some from the mainland for me putting it on my tap. He also helped me very much in organizing my bus ticket to São Paulo. Andrade is always in a good mood and cares deeply for his guests. You’ll start to smile in the morning once you hear his signature laugh. The food is very tasty and as everywhere in Brazil plentiful. Although the property is not beachfront it just takes 2 minutes going down. Everything is kept clean. It is really super.
