The hotel is new and clean. Maria Júlia herself is always around. She bakes fresh buns in the morning and prepares whatever you ask her to. The staff are sweet and helpful. The location is great! And the bar at the terrace is very pleasant.

I would have spent 3 days there maximum and spent the other 4 days in Tarrafal, instead.
In general I enjoyed my stay there, but Tarrafal it’s a different world, where you can actually feel the culture and be surrounded with beauty. Cidade abelha is also a must and it’s absolutely beautiful.
I would have loved to manage to see the typical ceramics, but people don’t talk much and don’t value much (unfortunately). I actually went to Sai Domingos on purpose to see it, but the locals said it was closed.

I loved the sun, the water, the history of the people, the moutains and the rest of the land, the beaches, Tarrafel and the kindness of the people. Its a great place for a vacation if you just want sun and the easy life on the beach or climbing mountain trails if you like. I will return!!

Praia is the capital of Cape Verde.
Praia is the capital of Cape Verde. The Santiago island is not the best if you are looking for a great beach experience. There are other islands with easy access that have superb beaches. We did a tour around the island which was interesting visiting Cidade Velha and Tarrafal as well as Sao Vicente. Tarrafal was a nice beach. The two main markets in Praia are a must see, also where you can buy some mementos.

Praia is a small "African" town, where you stroll around and enjoy the moment. There is actually nothing spectacular to see, but as a whole it is quite enjoyable. We walked thru Plato and along the beaches (Quebra Canela and Prainha). The restaurants there are really great: good food and nice view! But prices are higher than one would expect, more European.
The room was clean, bright and beautiful, the balcony and view were spectacular. The salt water pool was large, clean and warm. The night front desk officers Luis and Mario were excellent and very helpful. The breakfast was very good, as was the breakfast staff.
I also liked that the hotel pictures on the site are accurate - it is surrounded by a very rocky beach and doesn't present itself as beach hotel with an accessible sandy beach. There is a little sandy beach cove next to the hotel where people can swim.
I love the property closed to a lot of great restaurants and very closed to the beach. Huge window that opens with the shades overlooking the ocean good bed to sleep. Lots of glass around the property also is a plus doesn’t make you feel trap in the hotel. Terraces pool and bar with magnificent view of the ocean and all around the city. Closed to alot of great places to eat and listen to live music. Definitely my new favorite place to stay in Praia I will return soon. Love the place.
It was our second visit to the hotel. They have changed things a little bit from the pictures on the website. We missed the portraits in each room that were themes for each famous singer. But the staff was very friendly. They could use a little bit of coaching for western clients don’t charge for every bottle of water. Don’t try to take advantage and use a taxi service that is more expensive. Help your clients and we will tip you better. 
This hotel is about 5 minutes on foot far from the Plateau. They offer rental car and they can give you a sim card (CVmovel) with 5GB at 700 CVE (less than 7€). We have rented a car and we bought the sim card, it was all good. The owner and the staff are friendly and kind. The breakfast is excellent, with continental, sweet and typical food. It's worth it. I recommend this hotel, here you can find the real Morabeza!
We really like staying here and can recommend to everyone. Nice location, good apartment. Johny is top, he gave us so much info and had arranged the pickup and best excursions we could have done. He is very honest and friendly and has the most honest and friendly people working with him on the excursions. We really enjoyed everything, thank you and the team.
It was beautifulll stay right in the city center that exceeded all of my expectations. A great vibe and very modern. The appartments are very clean and have all the luxury you want, but what really was amazing was the staff in the hotel. Nowhere in Cabo verde have I been treated so well as here in the hotel. I wont forget their sweet smiles very quickly.
It's a decent tourist-class hotel, just off of the plateau. The facilities are nice and the rooftop restaurant is pleasant. The staff is helpful, if somewhat inexperienced, but make up for it with enthusiasm. This isn't glamour but it's clean and affordable if you have a few days in Praia.
The room was very spacious and very clean. The bed was really comfortable. We liked so much that we stayed here every time we had to be in Praia. The driver is very friendly and picked us up from the port and took us to the airport very early in the morning which was very kind of him.
These are really nice apartments (it's bigger and nicer than our own in the Netherlands). The host is super helpful and we were able to store some stuff whilst visiting some of the other Islands. The WiFi is also really fast (30MB down, 14MB up).
Great intro place to Praia, … As many other accommodations, they sent us a transport and got us in with our late night arrival. Location is right on the pedestrian way. Breakfast right across and was decent. Check in friendly and quick.
The apartment was fully air conditioned. it comes with a kitchen with facilities. There is a safe in the room to keep your valuable belongings. Very helpful staff. You can rent a scooter to travel around the town at the hotel.
Warm welcome from the proprietors, the studio was very clean, fresh towels, air con, and really nice room. I think one of the best in Santiago island - if not the best for cleanliness, comfort and facilities.
Great little guesthouse in Praia´s Plateau. Very clean and with super helpful staff. We arranged an airport pickup through the host, as well as got a car rented for the duration of our stay. Great location.
Angela was a super host, before and and during our (too short) stay in Praia. Immaculate and super large apartment, with an amazing view on Praia port and city, close to many restaurants and view points.
The host was nice! The hotel was very calm during our stay. We had a breakfast twice , and it was very good food. Typical breakfast from Cape Verde!
Overal good stay!
This is a private house with 3 rooms. The couple (who also live here) are very nice and try to accommodate all requests. Very helpful to navigate Praia.
