Our sea view room on 3rd floor was very spacious and clean. The bed was really comfortable and very big. The staff in the rooftop bar ( which is where breakfast is served) we're really friendly & helpful. In particular Kevin was always cheerful and ready to help).The hotel is situated right in the middle of Santa Maria with numerous bars, restaurants and shops on the doorstep. The beautiful beach was a short 5-10 minute walk away. Sunbeds and shades can be rented at 10 Euros for 2 people.

Forgot my wallet the morning I left the hotel for the airport. Got there and discovered no wallet so switched on my data and the amazing receptionist Denilson had already messaged me to tell me the cleaner found it in my room. He immediately sent it in a taxi to the airport where it safely arrived. What a team that saved my day!

The best things about Santa Maria were the friendly local and the beautiful in crowded beaches.
The only things that weren’t great was the 2 hours it took to get through passport control at the airport and that not everything in our hotel was working properly

Very nice town, beautiful, clean.
Very nice town, beautiful, clean. A lot of restaurants and nice bars. Go to restaurants that´s not on the mainstreet and you will find the best food and the best prices, for exampla "Camara Camara", they had the best tuna and other fish. Bom Petisck is good. Bar restaurante Bia has very good grilled meat, great red wine and very nice service.
Buddy bar has nice drinks and so do Brazil that's right down on the beach.
Visit the town/village Palmeira, it's adorable and go to Salinas, the salt lakes. It's very easy to find taxi.

The Antigo apts are located in a little oasis of beautifully landscaped gardens beside the beach, in my opinion the very best part of Santa Maria. There is a covered market to where fruit and veg can be bought. We only used the cafe attached to the apts & Sal Beach Bar, where food was good. There are more several bars with music but I can't comment as we didn't use them. Not much else in Santa Maria - Sal Island isn't very affluent

We loved the weather and sandy beaches.
What we liked:
We loved the weather and sandy beaches. It was hot however with the constant breeze it was just right.
The hotel is located literally at the beach which is a really good thing.
Marley Bar at the resort is a must visit to chill, drink and eat.
Taxis from the resorts to Santa Maria are about 6 euros and my suggestion is to stick with the one and the same taxi driver as we did with our many trips to Santa Maria. Taxi drivers all operate on whatsapp and if you got the ride you liked then stick with it. It pays off when you're go shopping for fish as the driver will walk with you and you won't be "constantly bothered with buying some souvenirs" from other locals.
If you're one to get to see the Sal Island go and choose GUS travel.
They're very knowledgeable and nothing is a bother when they show you the island.
On the less good side:
Food in the hotel was hit and miss and in our view the locals should focus on what Cape Verde has best to offer which is fish, fish and fish and ditch the European food. Luckily we did not go all inclusive so we have many more options.
Mosquitoes are really annoying and nothing repels them, so take a mosquitoes net with you
If are in Santa Maria 1st time, do not get overwhelmed by all the locals trying to sell you something, after all they make a living from selling things to tourists.
And lastly travel insurance is a must. The healthcare is accessible for all but hospital miss even basic stuff. If you require special medicines if you get sick, best is if you could take them with you, otherwise you might need to cut short you holiday and get the travel insurance to get you back home early.

The beaches are beautiful but it's impossible to walk the streets without being literally harrassed by owners of shops trying to sell you something. I understand that they're trying to make a living, but insisting that you "just" take a look at their shop, trying to call you back to their shop, literally shouting to you at the streets to "stop" and to "wait" is just unacceptable. While I was walking on the streest, I didn't spend a single minute without being approached and harrassed by someone.
They say "Cabo Verde, No Stress" but they pressure and attack you in such a form that you end up not buying anything, even if your intention was to buy something in the beginning. I'm from Turkey where we have a similar "seller approaching you" culture, and I've been to Morocco and Tunisia as well where similar stuff happens, but this was just too much for me.
From what I understand, these are generally foreigners who come to Sal to sell stuff, the pure locals of this place are much frendlier and calmer in general.
If it weren't for this people, I'd like to have stayed more, or I'd probably even return someday, but just because of this behavoir I'll never return to Santa María. If you want a calmer (and much more beautiful) place, just go Tarrafal on Santiago island.

Too much touristed. Too dry.
Too much touristed. Too dry.
Visit some of the other islands of Capo Verde. It's easy to take a flight to an other place and have a nice holiday. It's much more green at Sao Vicente and Sao Antao.
The resort is very clean — I’ve never seen such attention to cleanliness at any resort.
The food options were quite good — even for a veggie.
There were plenty of daybeds and loungers available so I never had to get up early to claim one.
The beach and water are beautiful and the perfect place to have a drink watching the sunset.
It was also a nice bonus to have free laundry facilities available on site.
The location was good as it’s an easy walk into Santa Maria on the sidewalk along the beach.
Nice place, with comfortable localization. There were near to the ocean, and to the center of the Santa Maria.
A hotel with a supervised swimming pool and two additional exits to the beach.
The service was very nice and helpful. Moreover, there is a special room at the Reception- where you can leave your luggage- if your flight is later than the check-out time.
The restaurant is well stocked with friendly service.
Our assessment is very positive.
Location only 5 minutes walk from Santa Maria beach, 10 minutes in to the town. There's a nice walkway along the beach that leads to the pier. Hosts always very quick to respond to any queries. Apartment complex well maintained with nice gardens and super clean swimming pool. Very quiet location, & corner balcony on the third floor. Also very handy having a mini market on site, open til 9.30pm.
My first accommodation on a two week trip to Cape Verde. Too bad it's only for one night. The owners are very nice. Of course, it is not a hotel with many stars, but it has everything you need and I really liked it. In the evening in the bar you can meet different people from different places and that is good. Recommend ! Thanks Sarah and Simon!
Amazing apartment! High standard luxury equipped. I lived in many hotels my last 4 years here but this is TOP NOTCH! You’ll have everything you need, amazing bed and clean bath and kitchen. Pool right outside the door (many of them). Was easy to get to Santa Maria since taxis are right outside the door.
Antigo apartments are arguably the best place to stay in Santa Maria. There is a lovely big swimming pool, a small private beach, the apartments are set in beautiful landscaped gardens. Only a short walk to main beach. Very good breakfast can be bought in bar downstairs.
Breaksfast was good but not exceptional. We liked the old style and ambience of the Hotel and the fact that it is on the beach but near the city which is good for going out for diner as Sal is very safe to walk at night in the street. The beach club is very convenient.
The position of the house was amazing, since it was near to Santa Maria center. The house is beach front, which is a big plus and it also has security at night, it was clean and had all the necessary tools. Marina is a lovely host, i recommend staying.
Location was perfect!! Right at the beach and very close to everything in Santa Maria. The hosts were very kind and helped us very quickly when there were some problems. Also, we were very happy with the mosquito nets!
It was not in the middle of the tourist traps of Santa Maria, but safe and walkable to all restauarants and activities. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The wifi was good enough for my meetings and work.
The hotel was so amazing, that we stayed twice! Loved the apartment we stayed in. It had a great view of the beach and the sea. Would definitely recommend, and will for sure stay again if we return to Cape Verde :)
Excellent location, amazing team, super helpful. Lovely breakfast, perfect place to enjoy Santa Maria. Papaya was great for lunch and dinner which is just outside the Resort. Highly recommend
Perfect location! Just above the sea, in the center of Santa Maria. The room was absolutely amazing, clean, comfortable. The areas of the hotel are stunning and everyone is really nice.
The hotel is located a short walk from the beach. It's located on the outskirts of the main hotels, restaurants and beach area but close enough to walk to. The room is modern and clean.
We liked everything about the hotel. It is new, very clean and nice design. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Very good location, near popular spots.
