It has a relaxed atmosphere, is quiet, and is well organized. It is in a great location near the beach and downtown. There is nothing pretentious, and the facility provides great comfort, 3 pools plus many other activities. We were allowed to stay until 10 p.m. on the departure day for a reasonable fee. Our suite was available 6 hours earlier at check-in. Both favors were very convenient and highly appreciated.

The property was very clean and well designed, so all rooms looked out onto the beautiful swimming pool. A lot of care and attention is made to the immaculate surrounding gardens, with lustrous colours of the eye catching flowers. It was very welcoming, and comfortable.

A very pleasant environment with very friendly, professional, and helpful staff. Check-in and check-out were professionally handled. My room was spacious and clean, with a very comfortable bed. In my opinion, it’s probably the best place to stay in Santa Maria. I loved the location. All the local points of interest are within walking distance.

I recently stayed at Robinson Cape Verde, and it was truly one of the best vacation experiences I’ve ever had. The standout aspect was definitely the incredible staff—everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely seemed to enjoy making sure guests had an amazing time. They went above and beyond, creating a friendly, welcoming atmosphere that made me feel at home from the start. One of the things I loved was the variety of free activity classes available every day. Whether you’re into yoga, beach workouts, or water sports, there’s always something to try, and the instructors are fantastic. They keep it fun and engaging, so every day feels like an adventure if you want it to be! And let me rave about the food—easily the best I’ve had on the island. Not only is there a huge selection, but everything is also incredibly healthy and tasty. The chefs put a lot of thought into crafting meals that are as nutritious as they are delicious, and you can tell they use high-quality, fresh ingredients. From local Cape Verdean dishes to international options, every meal was a delight. All in all, Robinson Cape Verde combines the best of everything—an ideal location, excellent facilities, and staff that truly make the experience unforgettable. I can’t recommend it highly enough for anyone looking to recharge in a beautiful, welcoming setting.

Very nice and helpful staff. Taxi from and to airport were well arranged. The room was large with a nice private terras. Rooms were cleaned daily and two large bottles of water were offered at arrival. There is a small shop nearby that I used to get a cheap local SIM card (2€ for 1GB of data - doesn't get any better than that :-)). The formula with all means included was very nice: the morning a buffer with all I could wish for and the other meals are 3 courses with choses of meat, pizza, fish, veggie, ... There was sufficient room around the pool area and there is a great view on the sunset! I highly recommend to rent a scooter in Santa-Maria for a couple of days, allowing to easily discover the best parts of the island. Also here, the reception gave me very good pointers.

The price was very affordable for the quality of our stay. The apartment was great and very clean. The kitchen made possible to cook yourself. The dishes were even washed daily by the room service. The place was peaceful and the area was guarded and completely illuminated with street lights during the nights. Even though the hotel is not right next to the beach or the centre of Santa Maria, there was a free (/included) bus to take you there. There was a minimercado to buy the basic food items in the hotel area. There was also a restaurant and a bar there, but we didn't somehow visit them. All in all, I can strongly recommend Vila Verde if you are looking for a nice apartment hotel near Santa Maria.

I had an amazing experience at Surf House Cabo Verde. Aldo and Barbara are absolutely fantastic — extremely kind, friendly, and always available whenever you need anything. You can really feel his hospitality and attention to detail, which made my stay very comfortable. The apartment is spacious, bright, and very clean. It’s in a perfect location — close to everything, yet quiet and relaxing. The internet connection is excellent, which made it easy to work and stay connected. I truly enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Cabo Verde. It’s a wonderful home away from home!

The appartments we rented were with ocean view, really spaceous and clean. Every night there are security people working and so we could leave our laundry outside to dry. Since the appartments are RIGHT by the beach you could come and go to the beach any time - day and night. Activities like snorkeling, kite surfing, diving and so on you can book anywhere in walking range. There are countless seafood restaurants nearby, rooftop bars as well. We highly recommend this place! The staff was really nice and helpful. We booked an extra late checkout without any problems. Five stars from us and very well deserved!

We were only there for three nights to get some sun and snorkelling. If we’d stayed longer I would have gone on a couple of trips but there isn’t lots to do there. I went to relax and enjoy the sun and sea, I could have stayed one more day but not enough there to keep you busy for a week. Some nice restaurants along the strip and the people weren’t too pushy which I loved even the guys selling on the beach.

Perfect base to explore the whole island of Sal. Very close to the airport. Especially nice experience for me was Pedra de Lume. There are nice and helpful people everywhere. I will certainly come back. Please note that this is not a beach or resort type of holiday like in Santa Maria.

Beirona/ Murdeira is a beautiful place, definitely worth choosing if you want to relax on the beach/ by the pool without crowds of people around you. There’s just one shop here ( it has an ATM which is a huge advantage), but it’s well stocked. If you’re not a fan of big resorts, but want a laid back holiday, be sure to visit.

This is a small working port town with a traditional small scale fishing industry. It is gradually coming up into the modern world as a result of tourism. The harbour is used by yachts, tall ships and daytrip boats. There is a town beach but it is not commercialised in any way and is not cleaned for leisure purposes. The people are friendly and we did not feel threatened in any way. Restaurants, hotels and some shops will accept Euros and there is an ATM in the town. We liked Palmeira for a short visit before and after a sailing holiday. A taxi to the airport costs 800 cve or 8 Euro.

Espargos is a good place to stay to reach the Blue Eye Cave, Shark Bay and Pedro da Lume, but I thought it would be cheaper to get to those places by taxi. Overall not much to do in the city itself, but I didnt want to miss the island’s capital. Not as touristy as Santa Maria, you can stroll the streets without being bothered, I felt safe, very friendly propeople as everywhere on Sal .

we stayed near the pier which was idyllic.

we stayed near the pier which was idyllic. Santa Maria is not commercialized no high rise hotels etc. it is very laid back and chilled. there are plenty of bars and restaurants though but this is not a party place if that's what you are wanting its for relaxing. the locals are so nice and just want to please you. Bear in mind if you stay in one of the big hotels they are not near the beach i would opt of an apartment as most of these are on the sea front
