No elevator 🛗, this made it difficult to transport bags

Everything was great, friendly and helpful staff, fantastic location, beautiful property, delicious and extensive breakfast 🥞🍳. Remarkable pool area with tropical plants , amazing body wash provided, would definitely stay there again and recommend to others 😊

It would have been helpful to have a leaflet in the room that explains when cleaning personel is coming in, the timings of restaruant and swimming times etc.

Loved having a room with a balcony facing the pool. Enjoyed swimming in the pool. Enjoyed the roof terrace area. Great breakfast buffet with many options!

Double booking and one staff 'manager' lying and cheating, showing a different room ( no balcony) in repair. Thus he was lying as this was not the booked room. He 'offered' ( pushed - persisted) us to stay in a different hotel which we would reach by a taxi: no indication where the other hotel was located and what prive category it was. As we insisted, we got a smaller room. We only got the bigger booked room after 4 nights as we went asking ourselves while the staff 'manager' wasn't present. A new woman with a Hotel branded outfit gave us a bigger room as we had booked. Thus not trustworthy staff manager had spoiled the start of the holiday. Please note we had booked for 11 nights while most customers only stayed for 4 to 6 nights. Thus one of the best customers he wanted to spend the money in a different hotel..

Location near beach (490m) Extensive breakfast Clean room

Nothing at all

The location was excellent. The swimming pool was a good size and clean. 5 to 7 mins walk to one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The resturants nearby are good, for a good price. People and the energy are good. Would defo recommend people to come here.

The bed was not so comfortable and although we asked for a king bed we got two beds next to each other without even a topper

Very good value for money, good breakfast and great location

Unfortunately the water and the wi-fi in the room run slowly at rush hours, but you can take it easy and wait for a while. Connection at ground floor is ok indeed

Very kind and helpful staff. Excellent buffet breakfast and cosy resting at the pool. The position is perfect, only 7 minutes walking to the pontao and the closest beaches. No stress :P

Hotel very tired looking in certain areas namely the bedrooms. Not sure what the additional cost for the superior room was for to be honest. Not enough crockery and cutlery at breakfast.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and obliging. Very chilled atmosphere. Good selection to eat at breakfast and on order.

It really needs some attention for Maintanance, my bathroom was leaking the whole time.

The location is great and very near the pier, bars and restaurants. I booked a pool side room and was good. Breakfast was fine.

I had paid for a superior room with pool view but on arrival was allocated a room with a city view and no balcony. We complained and were then allocated a room where the balcony door did not close. We complained but to no avail.

The swimming pool and its location. The rooftop terrace too.

The backyard where the pool is has poor acoustics and it gets noisy inside the room

Relatively good breakfast

We were racially profiled by one of the staff members upon our arrival who was working the night shift. He initially wanted to move is to some place by claiming that there is no accommodation then later changed after seeing my booking confirmation, his behaviour continued throughout our stay as we extended by couple of days, quite disappointed since we have been regular customers

I have stayed here for the past 2 yearsfor my work trips so it has been good.

When we arrived the hotel was overbooked and we were moved to a nearby hotel for the first night. It was not the end of the world but it was not at the same level at our and we paid the same amount of money for the night.

In general, everything was positive. Staff was nice and helpful, good value for the price.

A bit worn, though spotless clean. Breakfast is a bit repetitive, but for a week you can manage. Lacks some fresh and cold ingredients.

Clean place. . Very nice and helpful staff. The pool was crystal clean everyday. Not far from the beach, a short walk down the main street. Supermarket is fairly close, restaurants too.

Quality of beds

Bit run down - tiles missing on sink surround, etc but we had a really lovely stay.

The staff were absolutely amazing. Good breakfast and comfy rooms. Good location, short walk to everything.

A loud disco at night during the weekend opposite the hotel was going on till the morning. The location is excellent, very close to the beach but while you go there you are likely to be stopped by a dozen people trying to sell you something. Nothing particular regarding this hotel, just one side of Cape Verde which is not nice.

Great hotel, location, and staff. The hotel has a fantastic pool with tropical trees.

Stayed in April 2023

The noise from the bar across the street on the first night, this problem was fixed by moving us to a pool facing the pool.

Excellent location. Friendly, kind and professional staff.
