Ilha das Palmeiras, Angra dos Reis hotel rooms at the Independent

"The room smelled really bad, like old and rancid. The bed sheets had a strong foul mothy smell like they haven’t been washed in months. The bathroom walls were dirty and stained. The balcony had no table or chairs. The tv is very small, very bad quality picture and no Netflix or cable. "

"Good place to stay"

"the houses were looking lovely on the internet and the house itself was clean and well maintained but it is more a hotel of value of 200 /300 reales per night. no more. the bed was cheap and terrible. the sheets were as thin as they could possible be and we didn't feel comfortable when we entered the room and found blood spatters on the wall and curtains. this doesn't fill one with confidence "

"The hotel has a good location and a nice breakfast! Please note the breakfast is only served between 8:00 - 10:00, so if you leave earlier because of an early boat there is no breakfast!☹️ We had booked 3 rooms, and had no. 2, 3 and 4. Room no 2 had only a neon light in the room and was very crowded because of an extra bed, which couldn’t be taken of the room!☹️ There was furthermore a bad smell from the bathroom! Room 3 and 4 was ok with much better light!"

"Very close to the beach and places to eat but also away from the crowds."

"We had a wonderful stay. Renata greeted us upon check-in and answered all our questions throughout our trip. The staff was accommodating and friendly. Breakfast was lovely. Would definitely stay here again. "

"Amazing paradise with great staff!"
