Everything was great! The room was very comfortable and the ocean view (also overlooking the pool) was amazing. Breakfast had so much variety and products were good quality. Also special thanks to the staff who prepared a sweet surprise in our room after I informed them that it was our anniversary. They also let us check in two hours earlier than usual. Overall a very pleasant experience!

Nice located hotel (10min by foot to plateau, 5 min to the main beaches by taxi, ca. 1€) The rooms are modern, clean and well equipped with a fridge, television. The room service was good and caring. We enjoyed especially the breakfast on the terrace which was diverse and freshly prepared. The restaurant has a daily changing menu with is worth to try. In general the service was really attentive, helpful and gave good tips for the stay. I would recommend this hotel for anybody who wants to stay on Praia/Santiago.

The breakfast buffet was a highlight. Delicious and plentiful, with wonderfully friendly service! The front desk staff was available all day and until midnight to address any questions or concerns we had. They were flexible about extending our stay when we wanted to stay longer in charming Tarrafal, and even helped us move our personal items between rooms. And they helped us book a taxi for the return to Praia Airport! If I return to Tarrafal, I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Nestled along the coastline, with the backdrop of rugged cliffs and the serene expanse of the ocean, your hotel is a true gem. The idyllic setting is nothing short of paradise, and every moment spent there felt like a dream. One of the highlights of my stay was the ability to leap from the hotel directly into the crystal-clear waters of the sea. The thrill of jumping into the ocean from your beautiful property is an experience I will cherish forever. The way you have seamlessly integrated nature and luxury is truly commendable. However, what truly sets your hotel apart is the outstanding service and hospitality provided by your General Manager. Their dedication to ensuring the guests have an exceptional experience is evident in every aspect of the stay. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the General Manager for their exceptional leadership and for curating such a memorable stay for me.

Our experience was a wonderful one. From the walk introducing us to the location to the mosquito netting in each room, the service and facilities truly matched the B&B feel. The food was delicious and the sustainability and care for use was always present. The people were kind and generous with their time, and their pleasantry was almost infectious. Dinner is made in a very small kitchen and the wait is a bit longer than usual, but the food was spectacular and the patio area, with the sea and its sound in the distance, made the wait worthwhile. We would recommend it fully, even thought the surrounding area still needs developing the overall environment is lovely and worth the stay.

The whole staff has been extremely kind and welcoming. We were travelling with our 9 months old daughters and they have been very nice to us and to her. The hotel is equipped with high chairs and they provided a cradle for our staying. Breakfast and meals are delicious. We recommend this option for people travelling and staying in Praia.

We spent 1 night here after our 2 weeks Cabo Verde trip before we flew back home and we just needed a comfortable, air-conditioned room to relax. This hotel is perfect for it: clean and big room, with comfortable bed and with a super-nice staff. We also liked the breakfast and the view from our room. Absolutely recommended

Praia is beautiful.

Praia is beautiful. Thought there are challenges travelling to Cape Verde... I was double charged for the visa (even though I have a visa free access!!) They promised to refundone payment, but instead, they are giving me non-existen email, refusing to do anthing... Also, many people seem unfriendly and unprofessional. Overall the city is beautiful, but the challenges are too big for a normal traveller who could also visit Canary islands instead. If someone only comes for a week, it is not even time to start enjoying...

Tarrafal by itself is nice to visit for a few days.

Tarrafal by itself is nice to visit for a few days. Beach, good restaurants, you can do hikes on Monte Graciosa, and Tras os Montes. Restaurant 'chez mama' has some hiking maps. And good food too. I spent most of my time fishing. From the rocks at Punta Atum, of from a boat. One thing to keep in mind. Tarrafal in August is hot. You can go up to Serra Malagueta where it is cooler. But rainy in August.

Nice beach, clean but poor surroundings.

Nice beach, clean but poor surroundings. The proximity with the airport (35 min.) makes it a potential nice destination. The city should promote more actively the destination in order to attract developers which could renew the houses we can see from the beach and which are falling apart. Hopefully in the future this can be done and attract more visitors and have additional hotels. The potential exists.

It's a great place, just be care if you are a woman.

It's a great place, just be care if you are a woman. Do NOT go out alone or at night. My housemate and I went to a beach that was 6-7 walking minutes away. It was absolutely lovely. We went at 6pm and left at 8pm. It was dark. Unfortunately 2 masked children (of about 12) tried to "jump" us with knives. I've been traveling for 30 years and robbed 7 times before (including this; that averages out to 1/4 years and I AM VERY WHITE, with blue eyes, blond hair and stand out in certain places, so I may be an "easy target". Still, I've never had knives drawn on me. So PLEASE be careful, especially if you are women. BE SMART. I wasn't. Thankfully all I walked away with was some PTSD and bad memories, but they had masks & REAL KNIVES and it could have been VERY BAD.

Very cosy little town with nice beach and friendly local people. You can eat very affordable in local bars/restaurants or choose European food in couple of restaurants. The center is quite small, so you walk around easy. Beach is nice and not too much people.

Crowded and chaotic city, far from the peaceful atmosphere...

Crowded and chaotic city, far from the peaceful atmosphere found on the other Cape Verde islands. The local population generally doesn’t speak English and often seems offended if you don’t speak to them in Portuguese. Tourists are frequently stared at, which can make you feel a bit out of place, and the overall impression is that visitors aren’t always welcome. We had a bad experience in Praínha, where persistent children came up asking for money, while older men seemed to be eyeing our bags left on the towels. We ended up having to leave immediately by taxi. Outside of the Plateau—the only area recommended for tourists and heavily patrolled by military and police—you don’t really feel safe.
