This is a great hotel at which to spend a few days discovering Praia. Very walkable to transportation, the beach, some decent restaurants, and the sights. Though the breakfast buffet was consistently good, for any other meal lack of attention to service at the restaurant and bar meant an almost do-it-yourself experience. A late check out option (subject to room availability) was awesome for my 1 am flight! Very helpful front desk staff.

I was a little disappointed when I thought the room I booked had an ocean view and it did not. The building is nice, clean and staffs were friendly and courteous. Tiles on floor need to be replaced since some had cracks in them and some parts of the building can use some fresh paints. The Buffett breakfast was good.
