Rennie is a great person, no doubt, and Ilha Grande is a perfect place, but the room that we stayed was overpriced, I think, and with no privacy. The breakfast could be a lot better, they have just one juice, no fruits separately, if you have allergies to a single fruit, you can not eat the fruit salad, because they... More

Our family of four [teenage boys 13 and 17] stayed with Rennie at Aratinga Inn for four nights over the Easter holiday. While very beautiful, the island is still quite rustic and on this particular weekend quite bustling, However when you pass thru Rennie's gates you enter a place that while still containing all of that natural beauty, is a...

We stayed here for 3 nights of which were probably the wettest in my circa 20 years of travelling including SE Asia rainy seasons and Okinawa in a typhoons. The weather was unusual at this time for the island. We tried not to let the weather dampen ( pun ) our trip but the island and our room were not... More

We stayed in Aratinga inn during feb 2013. Aratinga inn was chosen on the numbers of good reviews. We were on the island for 8 days and enjoyed every day of it. You will be treated as if you were a long lost family member by Rennie and feel right at home. The welcome you will get, with open arms,... More

It was an amazing stay, an outstanding breakfast and afternoon tea service and the other services went above an beyond. You could not want more information or support and frankly we could only think during our stay, 'this is how it... More

We, an Irish couple on our honeymoon in Brazil, thought it would be the last place we'd find a friendly Australian woman, Rennie, running a beautiful guest house! Rennie has a vast knowledge of...

After researching for a place to stay on Ilha Grande, I stumbled on Aratinga Inn and after many emails with Rennie, I finally got my reservation in. This place is always booked so book ahead if you know you want to stay here. Rennie gave very detailed traveling instructions, super helpful and friendly. Its up on a hill away from... More

Since I made the reservation for the room, I knew I had made the right choice. I have never seen a hotel/pousada with such a good reputation, and after I stayed at Aratinga, I could to see why. Rennie, the owner of the pousada, receives you as if you were a host in her own house, and makes it perfect... More

I loved the Aratinga Inn, located in easy walking distance a bit uphill from the docks. It is quieter than in town and the lush garden and hammocks outside the rooms are serene and welcoming. Rennie, the inkeeper speaks English and was quite helpful in giving advice on how to get to Ilha Grande and the places to see while... More
