lighthouse Tours

Lighthouse was designed to guide sailors through stormy waters. Still a distinguished local landmark today, it's bound to have a few stories to tell about sailing rescues and triumphs.

This Tarrafal longstanding beacon is a good spot to start your day of sightseeing. There's lots to explore in the area, like Tarrafal Beach, and Tarrafal Camp. Take your time at lighthouse before heading to these other fine sights.

This was my first visit to Cape Verde and I will definitely stay here again on any future visits. The entire property was very neat and clean and reasonably priced. Loved the unique decor. From the front desk to the bartender…Every single member of the staff was super friendly and helpful, even with problems I had trying to move around the country away from the hotel. They definitely went above and beyond. I absolutely recommend!

It was an OK stay. The staff was pleasant, the rooms are large, but window area cleanliness was not perfect when I arrived. It's a very nice hotel for a one to two-day tourism stay. I stayed for a week on a business trip. Breakfast did not have a lot of variety. Not sure I'll stay there again next time I am in town.
