Cape Verde Pet-friendly Hotel

"Nice hotel with great staff. The main beach restaurant was closed as they had a private party which was a disappointment as we wanted to book for a birthday dinner."

"I stayed here for one night before catching a flight to another island. At €100 per night – the most expensive rate I’ve paid on Cape Verde – it was a huge disappointment. As a Gold Member on Expedia, I was promised a bottle of sparkling wine, which was missing. Instead, my room came with a cockroach (photo attached). Maybe it drank the wine for me. The air conditioning didn’t work, the shower drain was clogged, and mosquitoes thrived in the stagnant water. Housekeeping seemed questionable too...

"Its a decent resort style hotel in the Oasis chain. Not particularly close to anything, but thats fine when all you want to do is relax by the pool. There is no beach - beach in Praia is blah, better to go to Sal or Boa Vista for quality beaches. Room was correct, nice balcony overlooking the water and view on Fogo volcano, which was neat! AC worked well, wifi was sometimes spotty but ok in general. Good towels. Front desk staff were helpful and responded to a request to fix the sink to drain...

"Excellently positioned on Praia Plateau, which is full of history and culture. The Santa Maria has friendly, cheerful, Caboverdean staff and is comfortable, clean and caring. Buffet breakfast is delicious and it has a lift. The only minor problem is it’s sometimes hard to get on the WiFi."

"Situation right on beach of Santa Maria but quiet and peaceful. "

"Great location, excellent friendly staff and very helpful."

"Perfekte Lage, direkt am Strand. Sehr freundliches Personal. Das Gelände wird 24/7 von der Security überwacht, damit nur Gäste und Hotelangestellte das Gelände betreten können. In der Nacht hört man die Wellen, da es keine geschlossenen Fenster gibt (Fliegengitter und Vorhang - that's it), ebenso hört man die Musik von der Strandbar, aber gegen 22Uhr ist Ruhe. Die Betten sind etwas hart, aber trotzdem hatte ich sehr entspannte Tage dort."

"Very clean hotel and rooms. Nice location walking distance from town/beach and very safe. For the price, a good bargain!"
