The overall rating of a review is different from a simple average of all individual ratings.
Advantages:
The advantages are that you have no contact with the outside world . It's an adventure into nature, where you learn to enjoy life a bit more .
Disadvantages:
You must wisely choose the time of the year if you don't want to catch the rainy season . . . also, since you are part of nature, there are no shops, although the resort sells basic things . The closest town is 30 minutes away by boat .

I thought i might explore my own country a little bit more and go on a romantic getaway with my European boyfriend. We went to Rio de Janeiro, but after a week of the usual tourist attractions i wanted to show him a part of Rio less exploited. I took him to a little resort on Ilha Grande -an island that has no roads, no mcdonalds, no transportation other than canoes and boats... it was more than paradise. We arrived on a foggy afternoon, and as the island came closer, the abundant nature created a green coloured sky - unbelievable. We had a delicious dinner, and then went to sleep at 9:00pm. The next morning, at 8:00am, we woke up to the sun shining through our "curtain" doors... we had a fruity breakfast, and then off to the boat for a trip around the beautiful beaches of Ilha Grande. Back to the resort, you can either relax in the hammocks, or go diving, or canoe to secluded beaches, amongst other activities, until it is time for dinner and one more early sleep. And so the days go by in Ilha Grande, where you forget the world exists... it's a place to enjoy Brazil without the touristic frenzy, and to relax to the point where you reach nirvana! The resort is called Eco and Dive resort, and the website can be found at www.resortsilhagrande.com - Not only have you got the choice of staying at the resort, but you can also opt for a more adventurous (and cheaper!) getaway, sleeping in tents and hammocks on a beach nearby the resort.
