Search hotels on Santo Antao, Cape Verde

After a week in the Hotel I can say this is a secret people will be lucky to discover. The island is the most stunning place in the world (I’ve never seen landscape like this in my life) but RM Green Hotel is also unlike anything even on this island: a remote, private, place to stay staffed with simply wonderful, kind people. Although it is not easy to get to the island or to the hotel (there is no airport), Irene was attentive, quickly responding to my messages on Booking.com to help before I arrived. The journey to the hotel is crazy, and finally the last road to the hotel is something you will never forget (perhaps the steepest in your life!!). The huts are simple but very private with their own terrace space and seating, facing into cliffs and across the Atlantic. I had the best view of sunset in the hotel. The huts are completely furnished with their own bathroom. The bed is a very peaceful, with a separate sofa and desk. The WiFi is unique to each hut and fast. I booked both breakfast and dinner - the hotel is remote with nowhere close without taxi each way - it’s somewhere you want to return to and stay after a long day. The staff are amazing in both morning and evening. Breakfast is full of fresh foods and drinks, all facing the Atlantic. I took food for my hikes in the mountains. At sunset after amazing scenery and experiences, I’d return and shower and use the infinity pool in the clouds to relax. I could choose any meal which they would cook for me and a drink from the bar too. All of the staff were so friendly, sometimes visiting my hut after I relaxed to say hello and take my dinner order ahead. Visiting Santo Antão is different to any experience in my life. The island is remote and you must be happy to walk and explore in difficult terrain and complex routes between even nearby villages. Everyone on this island is so friendly and kind, but best of all was being able to return to the private luxury of RM Green Hotel.

We loved the location, as we were able to do two excellent hikes. (One from the hotel, Boca de Figueiral to Cha de Padre Cima, which we highly recommend. We also hiked to the crater. ) The restaurant was wonderful, we enjoyed the. vegan offerings on several nights. Breakfast was ample and delicious. The staff were exceptional, answering every question and assisting with any requests. We highly recommend this hotel.

The maracuja caipirinha was great

Spacious room, with private balcony, wifi and breakfast. It was exactly what we needed.

The family running the hotel were so wonderful- they were smiley and helpful, helping us to book taxis, giving us advice about hikes & transport. When accommodation at our next place didn't work out they happily allowed us to stay another 2 nights. The views over the mountains, tropical plants & coast are breathtaking, and the inner garden courtyard where the rooms face is full of banana & breadfruit trees as well as tropical flowers. The breakfast is big & varied day by day- the view from the breakfast roof terrace room is stunning. They gave us tinfoil to take the sandwiches we had made from breakfast on our hike with us.

The suite was very clean, comfortable and had an amazing view. The breakfast and dinner were really delicious and healthy, with of course the amazing view in the terrace it felt like a dream. Hannelore and everyone were extremely nice and helpful. I had to adjust my booking last minute due to an emergency, really appreciate her understanding and flexibility. She also helped me organize the best excursions in the beautiful island. Would definitely visit again!

It is a 3-storey building run by a very welcoming family. The breakfast is the best we have tasted in the whole island, with a lot of quantity and the quality was excellent (they made homemade sponge cake!!). The host family are very nice, friendly and welcoming. They are learning many languages, and try to speak to you in your own language. The room was clean, air-conditioned, and brand new (in fact, they are working on the upper floor to make more rooms). It is without a doubt, our most recommended stay in Cape Verde!!!

Very friendly and helpful host, Due to a delayed flight Jan let us change our booking very obligingly. He gave us great tips for hikes and restaurants. The nice and clean room was even cleaned during our short stay. A nice terrace was available too. Anytime again!
