Che Lagarto Hostel Ilha Grande

Good property to meet people and nice views over the town. Food is quite pricey for what it is and we had an issue with the lock on our bedroom door and the shower which meant the bathroom kept flooding. Otherwise, a nice place to stay

My room was horrible, so I booked another one and stayed there instead of in the hostel. There was mold everywhere throughout the room. When sitting on the toilet, there’d be water leaking onto your neck/back from the ceiling. Shower didn’t have warm water.. all very s***. BUT I saw other rooms that were totally fine. And the staff was really sweet and the common space is super nice! Atmosphere was great as well!

They are a bit down the beach from the pier. No kitchen. Share space with a bar. Discounts on food. But they play music and have DJ most nights and the dorms are close to bar, so hard to sleep.
