Received a very warm welcome by the staff - they were also incredibly friendly and helpful in advance via text. They helped us book our trips to/from the Island so knew we were in safe hands. We stayed in the Deluxe apartment as we wanted to cook and work and it was a good choice for us. The place was quiet and comfortable and the location was great too (just a short walk from the main pier) and close to all the restaurants/cafes and supermarkets. Card payments can be used pretty much everywhere on the island - this was something we were concerned about but it was fine.

Wifi connectivity wasn't that great - we needed to work online and use video calls so internet use is probably fine if you don't need to do this. In fairness, there was a huge athletic event on during the time we were there AND a gigantic cruise ship arrived on the island so I'm sure this had a negative impact on the connectivity and therefore wasn't the fault of the campsite. There was just a huge influx of additional island visitors.

A real community feeling. Very helpful staff. Bathrooms, kitchen and common areas were always kept clean. Location was perfect as it was just far enough from the town hustle but close enough to walk anywhere!

My only suggestion is maybe kitchen could stay open longer? Cooking and cleaning should be finished by 9pm, perhaps an extra hour would help those who arrive late? But I understand closing it early as there are tents just outside the kitchen area that could hear/smell the cooking. Everything else was wonderful!

Great location, easy walk to everything. Staff were very helpful and organised a boat tour for us and some people we ran into on the island. Because there was a group of us worked out better value for money to get a private boat and the staff organised all of this so we just had to show up to the boat and pay. Clean facilities. Kitchen in deluxe apartment very well equipped. Quiet location. Tables and chairs outside each room which was very nice. Good aircon and fan in the room. We wanted to extend our stay and had to change rooms, staff had the room ready first thing in the morning for us to move into straight away. Great value for money. Beds were comfortable.

Lovely staff, let us check in early once room was ready. Superior cabin had comfortable bed. The ceilings are sloped so if you're tall it is quite difficult to get down the sides of the bed. Air-conditioning was effective but very loud and difficult to sleep with it on. Other facilities were good - showers had good water pressure and were hot. Toilets clean. Kitchen well-equipped and clean.

Melissa was amazing! The personal help me with everything, from transportation to great tours recommendations. The space is clean and very organized. Air conditioner working great, all clean. Close to the beach, restaurants, markets, and a very delicious coffee breakfast place. For New years they gave us an little present. The Island is beautiful and with a lot of things to do. Highly recommend.

The room was very nice, WiFi was good. Quiet location, there is a kitchen too if you wish to cook or make cuppas. Comfortable bed and fridge in room which was good. Was nice to sit outside the room and eat breakfast in the sun.

Slight walk to the centre but not bad as it’s quiet. The shower was cold until the last day when we kinda worked it out. Just had to have the pressure really low for it to be hot

This place is 10/10. Not only was the chalet affordable but it was also cosy, had lovely warm lighting, air-con and a comfy bed !! The kitchen is fully kitted out and the place is kept tidy. It also had hot water :) The staff send you so much information on beaches, hikes, boat rides and restaurants, and let you know if there are any parties happening in the town. I can’t thank you enough for having us!

Nothing. It was fantastic.

We’re SO happy that we chose to stay excactly here!! The staff is the best we have met on our six month trip(!), they are extremely helpful, positive, warm and welcoming, which just makes the whole stay unique. The facilities are really good considering the price, and the common facilities is cleaned all the time. We stayed in a small chalet with its own bathroom - super small, but charming! And no problem when you can use the common space :) The internet is the best on the island, the shops, restaurants and beaches are very near, and the staff will help you to book everything you want to experience! Thank you, Marina and Leandro (and the rest of the Raio de Sol family)!

The tent experience was surprisingly comfortable! A good mattress and people were generally respectful to keep quiet at night when sleeping. A nice vibe and very lovely and helpful staff.

Could have some lockboxes for special items like a passport and not so many spacious communal stead’s

The location is great, very quiet, but also close to everything you need. The hosts are wonderful and really helped me when a transfer got cancelled last minute, thank you again Marina! 🙏 The apartment was lovely and had everything I needed for a three day stay in the island. Would stay here again!
