My wife and I absolutely loved the stay here. It was everything we needed and more from the reception at check-in to the room, wi-fi and the helpful staff. One of the staff becky was particularly helpful with recommendations for places to visit and things to do (we took her advice and went to Kebra Canela beach and had a good time) . I only wish we had booked more days as we previously stayed at another hotel in the city centre (plateau) before moving to this hotel for two night.

Brand new place with large & confortable rooms, very clean, quiet. The hotel is located not far from town (if you do not want to walk, taxi is only 2 euros) & near beaches ans wonderful sunsets. Julia Maria is a wonderful host but also a recognised Cook in Cabo Verde : you will have great food at her restaurant.

Very central. Walking distance to restaurants. Lilly and Elton at Reception were very helpful. They advised me how to go to Tarrafal and Cidade Velha with local buses which was a super idea. Internet Wifi was excellent. I was able to do a Teams call and it was fine. The room i booked had a balcony which faced the main road. I thought it would be noisy but was fine and the noise cut out. It is great for those who are smokers. Overall a good hotel to stay.

This is my third visit to Santiago and 3rd stay at this hotel! The location is excellent for the purpose of my visit, as its located in a beautiful area of the city and in a walking distance to almost everything. The Plateau (where the hotel is located) is a very classic area of the city with beautiful buildings and streets. Very easy and safe to walk, and many food options at walking distance. The hotel service is excellent, from the General Manager to the Housekeeping ladies. All do their best for your comfort, and make sure you have what you need. They also provide airport shuttle (paid) at request, and the driver will be waiting at the airport with your name. If I return to Praia, no doubt will be there again.

The place is very beautiful and invites you to relax. It has sea access and the water there is amazing as well, and you can and should snorkel to make the most of it. You can also watch the sunset from the hotel with the Fogo island in the background. But what really impressed me was the staff - we had a special request and they accommodated it perfectly, making our stay much more enjoyable than we ever dreamed it. It was a special occasion and made even more special by the efforts of the staff to help us celebrate it. Thanks a lot 🤗

The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The breathtaking ocean view If you’re looking for a great place to stay in Praia with top-notch service and stunning views, this is the one. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Actually I’m a Nigerian. When I traveled there I found it difficult to communicate in Cape Verde due to I can’t speak Portuguese. But there are another islands that they do speak English there. in this country 99% people speaks Portuguese. So that’s just my experience. But the was nice and peaceful
