Excellent hospitality. Location was close to the center of town but felt secluded and private.

Thanks for the tips on the island, Rennie! Very helpful, much appreciated!

We had a nice stay at Aratinga Inn, Rennie was a great host, very helpful. The rooms are very quiet and comfortable. The Inn is located 10min by walk from the port, away from the agitation so you can relax properly :) thanks

The location is fantastic, and Rennie is incredibly helpful. The entire place is beautiful with lots of plants, great stay!

Fantastically looked after by the owner and a beautiful property to stay in. Just out of the main busy are and quite tranquil and relaxing. Would recommend it highly

Aratinga, besides being a impeccably beautiful place, has soul. Rennie and her team are absolutely lovely, and we felt embraced by them, by the natural beauty of Ilha Grande and by the great vibe of Aratinga Inn. Highly recommend it.

Not a huge fan of bugs, so I personally prefer to keep my windows shut. We found the windows open for airflow a few times, which is completely understandable but meant we had a few unwanted guests (it's the middle of the jungle!). Might recommend an anti-mosquito plug in. Rooms are a little on the small side, but you don't come to paradise to stay in your hotel.

What a glorious place to stay in Ilha Grande! Rennie is one of the most beautiful people I've ever met. The place is just gorgeous, surrounded by beautiful nature, really peaceful but close to everything you need. All the staff are very helpful. Great amount of information provided prior to visit. Would recommend booking the hotel's private transfer for the reasons Rennie sets out in her email. Plus laundry service is exceptional. Location is brilliant. Maybe a slow 7 min stroll from the port. Restaurants everywhere. I loved the way Rennie introduced guests to each other at breakfast. So friendly! I could go on, but decided to stop here! Couldn't recommend more!

Aratinga Inn is a 10!!! Rennie and her staff are absolutely adorable. The garden is stunning. The breakfast and afternoon tea (yes it exists!) are homemade and delicious. Rooms are very very clean and cosy. 200% recommended!

As we had booked the last 2 available rooms (probably one of the smaller rooms) there was not enough space to store the luggage because of the room size. That’s why we recommend to just bring a backpack.

We were warmly welcomed by the Dona de casa Rennie from the very beginning. Everyday she gave us the best recommendations what to see and what to do best with our little time at Ilha Grande. Besides the accommodation is located in a lovely and exotic garden. You can feel the familiar atmosphere and that Rennie (Dona da casa) loves what she does and she just owns it. She is such a lovely, helpful and charismatic lady. We were very happy to have chosen the Araringa Inn and can recommend this place a 100 percent. The breakfast was very delicious too! Very important: Do not bring heavy luggage with you!!! A backpack is more than enough!

Delicious breakfast. Quiet, calm and peaceful location. Beautiful gardens with hummingbirds all around. The room was perfect and we had our best nights' sleep in Brazil there. The staff were all really friendly and Rennie is a brilliant host, it felt like visiting a long lost auntie!

Everything was fine; we really enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful Inn, located in a quiet zone. It has very nice common spaces; I loved having breakfast and merienda while watching the hummingbirds. Rennie is a wonderful hostess. She was super kind and gave us very good advice on what to do (and what not to) in Abraão. Thank you!!

It was away from the hustle and bustle of the island, but still a quick walk away.

We were in one of the double rooms; it was quite small, with no real space to put clothes etc. We also felt the bathroom was in need of a deep clean (there was an odour - only partially masked by a toilet chemical - which didn’t seem to be present in the room next door). It is also worth noting there isn’t a sea view as advertised (it was only visible from the shared veranda?)

Rennie is the perfect host - incredibly passionate and her knowledge of Isla Grande is limitless! It had rained a lot as we arrived on the island, so she was so helpful in recommending things we could do/enjoy in the conditions.

nothing of reasonable note.

it’s beautiful gardens and Rennie of course. I felt extremely welcomed.

The only thing I can comment on is that although the room I stayed in was clean and cosy, more room to hang clothes etc in the rooms would have been good. There isn't much room to manoeuvre when your bags are on the floor.

A fabulous rainforest, garden retreat. Incredible host who goes above and beyond to make sure your stay is both comfortable and filled with activities, as her knowledge of the island is vast. The inn is around a 3/5 minute walk from the village which is an easy meander to the shops and restaurants. The inn is generally quiet and very clean.

Aratinga Inn was the most wonderful place to stay, for four idyllic days in Isla Grande. Rennie is an expert on the island, and couldn't have been more helpful. The property is amazing value for money, the bedrooms extremely comfortable, and the afternoon tea a bonus! Thanks so much, Rennie.

We liked everything. From the nice garden with the hummingbirds, the delicious breakfast & 4 o’clock coffee,tea and cake moment, to the charming rooms; but mostly we liked the warm heart and good vibes of the owner Rennie.

Literally nothing.

Amazing staff, Rennie will make you feel at home and give you all the advice you need. Very comfortable and clean (and beautiful) rooms as well. Best place to stay on Ilha Grande.

Aratinga Inn exceed our expectations in every aspect! Rennie was so welcoming and friendly and really made us feel at home. We were upgraded to a cabana and it was beautiful, with a lovely hammock on the veranda. The food was excellent and the afternoon tea was a lovely extra to come back to after a day hiking!

Stayed in June 2022

Excellent value, delicious breakfast and afternoon teas, breathtaking garden, but more importantly an amazing host! Rennie went above and beyond to ensure we could get on the island (even when our bus arrived late, causing us to miss the boat), always gave us advice whenever we wanted to hike, dive, go to a restaurant, book the way back to Rio, etc. It really felt like staying at a relative's place, and not at a hotel, which was so heartwarming. One of the best hotel where we've been.
