"Great apartment, had everything we needed, air conditioning works well, cooking was easy, the bed was very comfy and the cleaner was brilliant.
The pool is great, an oasis after being out and about.
The lady who runs the place was friendly and could be contacted night and day.
The only downsides have nothing to do with the apartment, the beggars on the street are a pain, as is the rubbish and dog poo.
If the government of Cape Verde had any sense, they would use the entry taxes to employ the...

"Boa localização. Relativamente perto da praia. Tinha cozinha equipada. Ventoinhas.O chão poderia estar melhor limpo. E falhou água em 2 dias, mas disseram que era normal na ilha. A Béatrice esteve sempre disponível para as questões colocadas. Houve um mal entendido acerca da hora de check-out, mas foi resolvido e tudo correu bem. "

"We were met at the airport and taken to our apartment. Really nice and airy, nicely decorated with good shower and comfortable bed and all the things you need to self cater. Brilliant double glazed window tilted so could be left open all day but when closed blocked out any noise. Right next to beach and with a nice garden with parasol to sit out in. Fruit/veg sellers came to just outside the apartment every morning and there is a brilliant bakery 10 minutes away and a stunning juice/snack...

What a wonderful piece of heaven. The staff was absolutely wonderful, the food, service, cleanliness… I can go on and on and any compliment would still not do it justice. I highly recommend staying there and will certainly stay there when I’m back.

An Outstanding Stay with Truly Wonderful People!
My stay at the Barceló Hotel was exceptional, thanks above all to its wonderful staff. Everyone was remarkably competent, professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. What made my experience especially memorable was the beautiful surprise they prepared for my birthday—a delicious cake accompanied by lovely drinks and heartfelt wishes. Such thoughtful gestures demonstrate that true hospitality comes from the heart. The team made me feel genuinely...

My stay felt like extremely elevated camping, in the best way. The ecolodge is farther from São Filipe than I expected, but that ended up being a positive. It was peaceful and a welcome break from the hustle of the city.
The views are incredible. From the front of the cabin, you look out over the ocean, and from the back, a massive mountain. On clear nights, I could even see Brava. I stayed in December and found the environment comfortable and calm.

The staff was excellent, and the view was to die for and the location is very exceseble. The only problem is that I only stayed on night😂. The place is worth to stay more then one night.

Perfect location, next to the aluguer/taxi and the mercado central with affordable local food just at the door. There is a mini mercado store downstairs too. Walkable distance to the beach and the town center/ plaça central . We had a triple room for a couple and it was great, the room is big, nicely decorated and comes with a desk and tv. Bed is confortable. Kitchen area and lounge all ok and the staff very friendly, speaks english, French and maybe some more languages. The only bad point is...

Wonderful hotel in a wonderful location overlooking the city and the city's beach and port. Friendly, efficient staffing team. Thanks especially for arrangements to pick my up at the port where I had arrived on a boat from another island.
