Rich Breakfast buffet, size of hotel was just right, not too big, still close enough to walk to Santa Maria, clean and comfy, kind and helpful staff, calm and relaxed atmosphere

Not directly on the beach front, bike rentals relatively too expensive, no complimentary bottle of water offered in the room, not even for arrival day.

Nice hotel at the good location just one block from the beach. They have own zone with sun beds on the beach. Room was big size with huge comfortable bed. A lot of space for sunbathing around the swimming pool nice garden. The only thing what was disappointing was breakfast very boring everyday same stuff plus a lot of sugar. For person who is not eating sugar was too much unhealthy options.

Staff where great!! helpful and attentive. Any issues that arose from our group where dealt with immediately.

Required the lift to get to the 3rd floor - quite often after 11.00pm you were unable to use it. I think that the hotel should advise guests of any restrictions or times for use of the lift. Both my partner and I, experienced being stuck in the lift for short periods on separate occasions. This was quickly resolved when I pressed the alarm, however it does make you feel apprehensive when using several times a day.

The room was big and clean with a nice balcony. Bed was comfortable, sofa-bed not so comfortable. Pool area is great, although very exposed to the wind. Good breakfast, with lot of options and very tasty dinners. Amazing staff, always available to help. Location is a little far from the center.

the hotel is small but very comfortable. the staff is really nice . I would also recommend getting a massage with Marcelo, it was amazing ! I would also add that both the cocktails and the dinner offered at the restaurant are great.

everything was great but if I could ask for something it would be to have real orange juice. we really didn’t like the artificial juices !

Very nice Hotel but we were particularly impressed by the hospitality and the friendlyness of the staff in all areas. We are travelling a lot but thus was the outstanding positive experience of our stay at the Cape Verde.

My son (4yo) was sick and all the staff was incredibly warm and kind to us and to him. He was in need of a special diet and they provided us with no extra charge.

It could have more activities at evening and night time. Specially for kids.
