"The location is PERFECT -- away from the constant noise of Santa Maria.
We had two glitches -- the keycard stopped working the second day we were there, and the electrical storm tripped a breaker that required a manual reset on the breaker board. Both were handled well. My only complaint has to do with trash. We were instructed to "contact security" for instructions n where to place trash. The phone in the unit does not work, and security personnel at the hotel had no idea what to tell us. ...

"net appartement, goede ligging en de host was erg vriendelijk, alhoewel zij nauwelijks engels sprak. Edil was heel behulpzaam. dit apartement is zeker een aanrader en wij zouden er de volgende keer weer willen verblijven. Het was compleet.
het enige nadeel was dat het zo erg gehorig was,vooral de bovenburen"

"Beautiful hotel with a very friendly, accommodating staff. They good out of their way to make you happy. The restaurant has some of the best meals that I have eaten in our stay in Cape Verde!
Bring plenty of cash, as the hotel does not accept credit cards.
We will definitely stay here again!"

"My family had a great time, and staff was so helpful! I have stayed here before and love it and was glad my family had the same experience. I would not stay anywhere else honestly, close to everything in a safe area, quiet and always clean. Background on me, I live in the states but i am Cape Verdean :) highly recommend!"

"Loved the location and closeness to the beach and shopping. Lots of restaurants to choose from but most of the time defaulted to the Oceans Cafe for the service, the entertainment, the food and the awesome staff"

"Good bank for the book. There was a steel smell in the hallway in the bedroom when we walked in. The building is old but for the price, it was reasonable. Breakfast was very poor. Selection could improve. I probably wouldn’t stay there again, but if you’re staying in the downtown area, not such a bad selection."

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...

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...

Hotel Blue Sky is a beautiful hotel, with excellent and attentive staff, a rooftop terrace for breakfast with amazing views, and is ideally located for access to restaurants and other activities in Tarrafal. The breakfast is substantial and tasty. Would not hesitate to book here again

The hotel was absolutely beautiful, our room was modern and clean and very comfortable. The bed was a dream. Staff was super friendly and the all inclusive buffet was excellent with a huge variety for all meals and also possibility to grill your own meat or fish. It was one of the best holidays we ever had! The beach is very close and gorgeous with plenty of chairs available and a gorgeous palm grove to get out of the sun a bit.
In summary, we had an amazing stay at Riu Cabo Verde and would...

You get what you pay for! Really convenient and the staff were so helpful with the breakfast option and even notified our tour guide that we went out to eat. Do not expect nor compare it to any Holiday Inn or Marriott because, it is not. A place to get some shut eye and even provided a hairdryer for my wife! Book it, coz we did. Thank you!
