Guest review
We had a very pleasant stay at this all-inclusive hotel and overall it was a great experience. One of the biggest advantages was the direct access to the beach, which made everything very convenient and relaxing. The hotel was also very family-friendly, with a nice playground for children and plenty of activities throughout the day. There were many bars and restaurants available, and most of them stayed open almost all the time, so you could always find something to eat or drink whenever you wanted. The food was excellent, with a good variety and very tasty options. What truly made the difference was the staff. Everyone was exceptionally friendly, professional, and welcoming. The entertainment team also did a fantastic job creating a fun and enjoyable atmosphere during the stay. Overall, it was a lovely stay with very well-trained staff, great food, and a relaxing atmosphere.

Guest review
Hi Ouri Hotel Julia, I was a guest at your hotel from July 30-August 2, 2025, room #103. I am happy with the accommodation even though 1 late afternoon, the lights went out and did not come back until 2 hours later. No worries about that, it’s part of Cape Verde life. It is not the hotel’s fault, I totally understand that, and have no complaints there. Upon checking out on the evening of August 2, I thought I had everything until I realized when I was about to board the flight out, that I forgot a few of my valuable items in the pull-out drawers ! Immediately I tried calling your hotel but to no-avail. The next morning, I get an email from your receptionist Karine notifying me that they have found clothes left in the drawer of my room ! I needed the clothes back and she proceeded to help, from the heart. I just want to thank you Karine for going out of your way to help me get my items back. Karine went to the post office and post-mailed me my items all the way to the USA. I work in customer service myself and I must say, Karine’s customer service is pure 100%. Thanks to her, I am reunited with my valuable items that I thought I lost forever. Karine deserves a raise ! I will definitely be recommending your hotel to any of my friends that will be traveling to Sal soon. Thank you. Mya Dao

The apartment was great. On the ground floor, with a large patio sitting area in front. Bed was comfortable, shower was decent. Kitchen was fully stocked with all necessary items. Beach was about 150-meter walk.; while the center city/pedestrian zone was about 500 meters distant. Owner/operator was very helpful and friendly. We did not use the TV at all, but it was there. The WI-FI shut down on a few occasions during the night, but we learned this is a city wide problem, that the lodging could not avoid.

This is a relatively fair 4* beach hotel. Decent food, good all-inclusive package. Good conditions at the hotel's beach. We used four different restaurants (included in the package). Meals are ok for the price paid, but don't expect anything spectacular. Good variety at buffets. Staff at restaurants usually helpful. Bech huts are ok, we can see they have been improved since our last stay, definitely not your standard 4*, I would rank them a 3*. But, for a beach experience, they are adequate, no complaints.

Santa Maria is a very popular tourist destination.

Santa Maria is a very popular tourist destination. There a lot of good restaurants, bars and shops. The beach is wonderful and is alone worth the trip. In my opinion Santa Maria is the best location to stay in Sal. I would not suggest to stay in other villages on the island or in the capital Espargos, which are all very isolated, with few amenities and little going on. From Santa Maria it is possible to book tours to explore the whole island.

Espargos is a fantastic, welcoming town—just the way I like it. The local people were incredibly warm and kind to me. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend it. It’s a great location for exploring the island’s interior, with easy access to transport for trips to Santa Maria and other tourist spots, such as the salt pans (Salinas). I loved discovering small, local restaurants and sampling the delicious traditional food…

Beirona/ Murdeira is a beautiful place, definitely worth choosing if you want to relax on the beach/ by the pool without crowds of people around you. There’s just one shop here ( it has an ATM which is a huge advantage), but it’s well stocked. If you’re not a fan of big resorts, but want a laid back holiday, be sure to visit.

It's interesting to see local people every day life. Sometimes they are getting too intrusive and small children are coming and just asking money... During the day it's not much to do there, but you can take the local bus and travel to the Espargos or Santa Maria. Couple of places you can eat and drink bear in the evenings. We were satisfied to chose Palmeira as our sleeping place.

Lots more venues appearing in Santa Maria on each visit, bars, restaurants etc. Dont base decisions too much on reviews as I have found these to be unreliable, and in many cases clearly doctored to achieve better rankings. Half of main beach is a mess due to never ending pier reconstruction though other half, in front of Porto Antigo 2 and up to Odjo d'agua is fine. Also good, 5 mins walk that way along the beach road is Angulo Beach, with bar and limited menu food offering. Sunbeds here are €5 daily and staff are welcoming and friendly.

Espargos is not a tourist town, but a residential town on the island of Sal. It allows you to get to know the local population off the main tourst location Santa Maria in the south of Sal. On Saturday night I was lucky to run in a live music event presented by 'Cindy' a local artist singing in the style of Cape Verde for friends and family in a bar not too far from my apartment. I happened to find it because I walked across all of Espargos at night from the main bus stop to the other end of town where the apartment is.

This is a small working port town with a traditional small scale fishing industry. It is gradually coming up into the modern world as a result of tourism. The harbour is used by yachts, tall ships and daytrip boats. There is a town beach but it is not commercialised in any way and is not cleaned for leisure purposes. The people are friendly and we did not feel threatened in any way. Restaurants, hotels and some shops will accept Euros and there is an ATM in the town. We liked Palmeira for a short visit before and after a sailing holiday. A taxi to the airport costs 800 cve or 8 Euro.

Santa Maria is not a place to visit if you are looking for a city break with multiple shopping malls/tourist attractions etc. But if you want somewhere warm and friendly with great beaches, fantastic weather and vfm/tasty food (especially seafood), where you can just relax and recharge your batteries then it is definitely the place to go! My personal favourite food was the Crispy Fried Seafood board at 'Ocean Cafe'. I normally dislike seafood but this was sooo good i went back another night just to experience it again!
