we came here without any expectatuons and were surprused - in a good way. The hotel is in the center few steps away from the main pedestrian street, few steps away from the beach(s). All the staff is very helpful, kind willing to give you advice if one is needed. Breakfast is good, room was pleasant. I liked it.

First and foremost - staff is great. Cabo Verdian people are very open, friendly and always ready to help.
Special kudos: cleaning lady and evening chef at restaurant.
Location is nice - not the first line, but walking distance to anything you need (you need beach and restaurants, there's nothing else to do here :) )

The best things about Santa Maria were the friendly local and the beautiful in crowded beaches.
The only things that weren’t great was the 2 hours it took to get through passport control at the airport and that not everything in our hotel was working properly

Very nice town, beautiful, clean.
Very nice town, beautiful, clean. A lot of restaurants and nice bars. Go to restaurants that´s not on the mainstreet and you will find the best food and the best prices, for exampla "Camara Camara", they had the best tuna and other fish. Bom Petisck is good. Bar restaurante Bia has very good grilled meat, great red wine and very nice service.
Buddy bar has nice drinks and so do Brazil that's right down on the beach.
Visit the town/village Palmeira, it's adorable and go to Salinas, the salt lakes. It's very easy to find taxi.

The Antigo apts are located in a little oasis of beautifully landscaped gardens beside the beach, in my opinion the very best part of Santa Maria. There is a covered market to where fruit and veg can be bought. We only used the cafe attached to the apts & Sal Beach Bar, where food was good. There are more several bars with music but I can't comment as we didn't use them. Not much else in Santa Maria - Sal Island isn't very affluent

We loved the weather and sandy beaches.
What we liked:
We loved the weather and sandy beaches. It was hot however with the constant breeze it was just right.
The hotel is located literally at the beach which is a really good thing.
Marley Bar at the resort is a must visit to chill, drink and eat.
Taxis from the resorts to Santa Maria are about 6 euros and my suggestion is to stick with the one and the same taxi driver as we did with our many trips to Santa Maria. Taxi drivers all operate on whatsapp and if you got the ride you liked then stick with it. It pays off when you're go shopping for fish as the driver will walk with you and you won't be "constantly bothered with buying some souvenirs" from other locals.
If you're one to get to see the Sal Island go and choose GUS travel.
They're very knowledgeable and nothing is a bother when they show you the island.
On the less good side:
Food in the hotel was hit and miss and in our view the locals should focus on what Cape Verde has best to offer which is fish, fish and fish and ditch the European food. Luckily we did not go all inclusive so we have many more options.
Mosquitoes are really annoying and nothing repels them, so take a mosquitoes net with you
If are in Santa Maria 1st time, do not get overwhelmed by all the locals trying to sell you something, after all they make a living from selling things to tourists.
And lastly travel insurance is a must. The healthcare is accessible for all but hospital miss even basic stuff. If you require special medicines if you get sick, best is if you could take them with you, otherwise you might need to cut short you holiday and get the travel insurance to get you back home early.

The beaches are beautiful but it's impossible to walk the streets without being literally harrassed by owners of shops trying to sell you something. I understand that they're trying to make a living, but insisting that you "just" take a look at their shop, trying to call you back to their shop, literally shouting to you at the streets to "stop" and to "wait" is just unacceptable. While I was walking on the streest, I didn't spend a single minute without being approached and harrassed by someone.
They say "Cabo Verde, No Stress" but they pressure and attack you in such a form that you end up not buying anything, even if your intention was to buy something in the beginning. I'm from Turkey where we have a similar "seller approaching you" culture, and I've been to Morocco and Tunisia as well where similar stuff happens, but this was just too much for me.
From what I understand, these are generally foreigners who come to Sal to sell stuff, the pure locals of this place are much frendlier and calmer in general.
If it weren't for this people, I'd like to have stayed more, or I'd probably even return someday, but just because of this behavoir I'll never return to Santa María. If you want a calmer (and much more beautiful) place, just go Tarrafal on Santiago island.

Too much touristed. Too dry.
Too much touristed. Too dry.
Visit some of the other islands of Capo Verde. It's easy to take a flight to an other place and have a nice holiday. It's much more green at Sao Vicente and Sao Antao.
The resort is very clean — I’ve never seen such attention to cleanliness at any resort.
The food options were quite good — even for a veggie.
There were plenty of daybeds and loungers available so I never had to get up early to claim one.
The beach and water are beautiful and the perfect place to have a drink watching the sunset.
It was also a nice bonus to have free laundry facilities available on site.
The location was good as it’s an easy walk into Santa Maria on the sidewalk along the beach.
Everything was amazing! From the staff, facilities, and comfort. The staff was very attentive and helpful with anything that we needed. Breakfast was good with a good variety of food available. At lunchtime, we had tasty and cheep options available. The room had air conditioning, perfectly clean room and beds were comfortable.
Slightly further away from the beach but a walkable distance and closer to the locals than to the turistival part of Santa Maria. Very quiet too.
We felt at home.
the apartment is really super. I especially appreciated the cleanliness, comfort and silence that this place gave me. The possibility of a kitchen gives the opportunity to buy products in nearby shops and be able to cook freely. A place to be truly relaxed throughout your stay. The welcome upon my arrival was perfect. When I return to Santa Maria I will not hesitate to contact them for another stay.
Lovely house, clean and well-maintained in a neighborhood of similar houses/apartments a 10 minute drive (free shuttle bus) from the center of Santa Maria. The owner is a lovely, kind person whose sincere wish to make one's stay pleasant shines through. Being able to cook and eat on the beautiful, shaded patio was a welcome plus. Pool is a 1 minute walk, beautiful beach is a 7 minute walk.
The view on the ocean from the hotel and Milu, who is an amazing host are the two things we'll remember the most. The room was big and clean. The location of the hotel, a bit outside of the too touristic area, is great. There was a nite windsurf and kitesurf shop in front of the hotel with a great guy named Filou. Great hotel overall with a super nice and welcoming owner.
Good beach resort, very close to the main street of Santa Maria. Friendly staff, and the hotel is spotless clean. Great breakfast buffet at a nice breakfast area. Great beach club as well, with a bar and restaurant, right on a beach with crystal clear waters and fine white sand. The rooms are big and quiet, clean, and with good showers and excellent bedding!
Very nice place with amazing sea view , well located in Santa Maria .
Clean and peaceful.
The owner Robert is chill and caring and discreet,
he knows the island pretty well so he can advise you an give you a lot of good tips.
It would be perfect if they could add shower soap and shampoo and an iron for your clothes.
I will definitely be back again!
Breaksfast was good but not exceptional. We liked the old style and ambience of the Hotel and the fact that it is on the beach but near the city which is good for going out for diner as Sal is very safe to walk at night in the street. The beach club is very convenient.
The position of the house was amazing, since it was near to Santa Maria center. The house is beach front, which is a big plus and it also has security at night, it was clean and had all the necessary tools. Marina is a lovely host, i recommend staying.
Loved this place and especially the kindness and hospitality of the owners who went out of their way to be accommodating. Perfectly clean, great location, big breakfast and a room with a big balcony to myself, this is a brilliant deal in Santa Maria.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Casa Relaxod. Edna was very kind and helped us where she could. She send us a nice driver to the airport who brought us to Santa Maria for a good price. The flat is big, cozy and the ways are short.
Thanks again!
It was not in the middle of the tourist traps of Santa Maria, but safe and walkable to all restauarants and activities. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The wifi was good enough for my meetings and work.
The hotel was so amazing, that we stayed twice! Loved the apartment we stayed in. It had a great view of the beach and the sea. Would definitely recommend, and will for sure stay again if we return to Cape Verde :)
The guesthouse is far away of the caothic center of Santa Maria which you can reach easily by walk and very close to the beach.
If you want No stress like they say in Cape Verde you should go there definitely.
Amazing location on the beach and close to Santa Maria. Full of charm and character.
Lots of space and great cooking facilities.
Marina was a great host, always happy to help and super welcoming
Perfect location! Just above the sea, in the center of Santa Maria. The room was absolutely amazing, clean, comfortable. The areas of the hotel are stunning and everyone is really nice.
My daughter and I loved the unique decor/boutique style of the hotel. Great location next to beach and main street. Fun friendly staff. We definitely would book again and recommend.
I took a group of men to Cape Verde for the 1st time. The hotel is a perfect location for almost everything we did. The staff were very helpful as well
