Love this hotel, definitely recommend staying here! It's very clean and modern, I believe it's newly opened in the past year. The location is great, an easy 15 minute walk to the beach and restaurants at Quebra Canela. Has a beautiful pool, AC in each room, comfortable bed, and the staff were all super kind and helpful.

The hotel is beautiful! It is a home that was converted into a hotel and sits on a cliff super close to the ferry port. There is a winding staircase that leads to most of the rooms with options for mountain view, ocean view, or economy rooms (no windows). The pool, restaurant, and bar are located on the lower portion of the property. The pool is large and kept clean. There is a club located below the pool area and multiple stages for parties, concerts, and events. The staff was extremely nice and responsive to any requests. Wifi in the rooms and on certain parts of the hotel was spotty. They also allow some school groups and communoccasionally. bring children to the pool occasionally.

Could I list them ? Everything was perfect in this hotel, from the location to those beautiful rooms with Mountain View. And the staff ? Claudia our ‘coup de coeur ♥️’ the first French speaker we’ve met on our entire trip. Language Skills aside, she’s just the sweetest and got great managerial skills. Her staff and her made the stay really safe and fun ! Thats why we stayed longer than planned Everything is nearby, We visited around without a car.. People in Tarrafal are really kind

There isn’t much to do in Praia, trust me.

There isn’t much to do in Praia, trust me. I have lived on Santiago Island for three years so I have to go there sometimes. Usually people judge the country after visiting Praia, later they see how different it is from the rest of Cape Verde. I’d recommend one day at most. Visit Plateau, Cidadela Velha, maybe Prainha beach. It’s better to travel around the island or visit Fogo 🫶🏼

Tarrafal by itself is nice to visit for a few days.

Tarrafal by itself is nice to visit for a few days. Beach, good restaurants, you can do hikes on Monte Graciosa, and Tras os Montes. Restaurant 'chez mama' has some hiking maps. And good food too. I spent most of my time fishing. From the rocks at Punta Atum, of from a boat. One thing to keep in mind. Tarrafal in August is hot. You can go up to Serra Malagueta where it is cooler. But rainy in August.

Two days in Fogo is way too short - but I booked nine more days in the wonderful hotel Ocean View - and that was a perfect lenght for visiting this VERY interesting island Fogo. But DO NOT react to ANYBODY offering You ANYTHING in the street - I had real bad experience with that - a tourist guide cheated mo for one hundred euro plus a wasted day...

Portela is a magnific place inside a Vulcano crater, i just wanted to stay longer.... you can see the volcano all the time, such magnific view. People are umble and welcome, vilage quiet and great if you travel with kids as they can just go free. There is so much to do if you love geology and treking, such as hile the big vulcano and/or smalers, hike trough lava fillds, explore caves... but also vias ferratas and long trails, you can also go down hiking to mosteiros trough cofe fields (you can arrange it for someone to take yous big bags downs and catch you on the road at the end of the cofe fields to take you to the boat to Praia). The vilage is small and easy to go around, by night there is no much light outside better bring a headlamp. The food is all home made and delicios, we eat in Sonia and Ze house (sweet chiken, beans), Helena (cachupa and omlet) and Isabela (stuwe pig, fish with cream). we had a 4yo and we mostly hiked with him on the backpack, some parts he would go on his foot... things he loved running down the sand hills (big vulcano and small vulcano separated), walk trough the lava fields and sand, draw on sand, play with local kids.

Nice beach, clean but poor surroundings.

Nice beach, clean but poor surroundings. The proximity with the airport (35 min.) makes it a potential nice destination. The city should promote more actively the destination in order to attract developers which could renew the houses we can see from the beach and which are falling apart. Hopefully in the future this can be done and attract more visitors and have additional hotels. The potential exists.

Praia is beautiful.

Praia is beautiful. Thought there are challenges travelling to Cape Verde... I was double charged for the visa (even though I have a visa free access!!) They promised to refundone payment, but instead, they are giving me non-existen email, refusing to do anthing... Also, many people seem unfriendly and unprofessional. Overall the city is beautiful, but the challenges are too big for a normal traveller who could also visit Canary islands instead. If someone only comes for a week, it is not even time to start enjoying...

This location and guest house is not about fluffy pillows nor spa facilities. It's for adventure, it's at the top of a volcano and has limited resources, though with that, the guest house team is VERY accommodating. Meals were delicious, books and games were provided to pass time in the quiet evenings. The surrounding community experience is WONDERFUL. Highly recommend.

It's a great place, just be care if you are a woman.

It's a great place, just be care if you are a woman. Do NOT go out alone or at night. My housemate and I went to a beach that was 6-7 walking minutes away. It was absolutely lovely. We went at 6pm and left at 8pm. It was dark. Unfortunately 2 masked children (of about 12) tried to "jump" us with knives. I've been traveling for 30 years and robbed 7 times before (including this; that averages out to 1/4 years and I AM VERY WHITE, with blue eyes, blond hair and stand out in certain places, so I may be an "easy target". Still, I've never had knives drawn on me. So PLEASE be careful, especially if you are women. BE SMART. I wasn't. Thankfully all I walked away with was some PTSD and bad memories, but they had masks & REAL KNIVES and it could have been VERY BAD.
