    spacious room
    helpful staff
    convenient location
    air conditioning issue
    mold presence

    My family and I enjoyed a short stay primarily to visit nearby attractions like Kite Beach and the local markets. The room we had was spacious, providing a comfortable setup for our family time, and there were grocery stores just a short stroll away, which was super convenient. We appreciated how helpful the staff was in guiding us on places to explore. we noticed that the air conditioning wasn’t working very well and a little mold appeared in the shower, which could be improved.

    The room was brand-new and practical here with shower, comfortable bed plus very good value for money. The setting was quiet, just off the main areas and a beach of Santa Maria. I had some drinks at Angulo Cabo Verde, positioned 200 metres away.

    price-quality ratio
    comfortable

    Just a decent option for a city break in Santa Maria with good price-quality ratio. The air-conditioning worked well, keeping my room comfortable. Bring some snacks with you since the breakfast selection was lacking.

    The Two-Bedroom Apartment was fantastic for my family, with a comfy layout. We loved the nice balcony view, perfect for a little sunshine and relaxation.

    We faced a bothersome lack of hot water throughout our stay. The air conditioning didn't cool the room, which we noticed since we had to sleep with the door open. The shower cabin had some mold-definitely not the best in terms of cleanliness. It would have been easier to keep the apartment tidy if there was a broom, especially with sand from the nearby beach everywhere. Plus, the TV channels were out, and the Wi-Fi coverage was barely functional in the room.

    kitchen equipment

    We enjoyed a spacious apartment perfect for our family, and the helpfulness of the local staff. The location was nice, just a short stroll to the beach, great for our newborn as well.

    For dads, it would be great if the kitchen was better equipped.

    poor air-conditioning
    unfriendly service

    This hotel had the audacity to charge 10€ for a safe, when most places offer that complimentary. The air-conditioning didn't cool the room at all, and needed to sleep with an open door. I almost thought about giving them a good review, but they certainly didn't earn it. Just a dreadful experience all around.

    shower cleanliness

    The room was clean, comfortable, and provided air conditioning which was much appreciated. The staff were genuinely friendly and eager to assist with my requests. The breakfast was diverse, giving me plenty of options to start my day right.

    The only downside was that the shower had a bit of mold, which could use some attention.

    The breakfast had plenty of options, and I really enjoyed the spacious and clean room. The bar/lounge area was a relaxing spot, and the pool was well-maintained. The staff were friendly and provided helpful recommendations for exploring the island.

    The air conditioning was a bit restricted.

    great room but mixed breakfast quality

    The room was very spacious with a lovely terrace offering a nice view. The staff were genuinely friendly and quick to assist with requests. The hotel's location was convenient, just a short walk from the main street.

    The breakfast variety left much to be desired.

    spacious room
    airport transfer

    The staff was friendly, always ready to help, and the room was spacious with a nice balcony. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and found some local spots for food that were close by. It's just a short walk to the beach, perfect for our days out. Definitely recommend!

    One downside was that the hotel didn't provide airport transfer, made things a bit tricky for us upon arrival.
