Some staff members could do with a bit more training. Several in the main breakfast & dining area were extremely slow and 'forgetful'! We constantly had to remind them of requests, e.g. for clean cutlery, napkins, water, etc. No beverages, not even water, are included in the price of the dinner buffet. The buffet itself could have more daily variety - not the same dishes every evening. There is a serious problem of small, but very bold birds 'scavenging', especially at breakfast, and even landing and sitting on some of the food on the buffet! Not sure how to fix this problem in a humane way, but they are truly off-putting! The very shallow end of the big and beautiful pool, right next to the bar, could pose a serious risk to small children and non-swimmers. The shallow part ends abruptly with a sudden drop to a depth beyond the height of children and even some adults, without any barrier or warning sign. The Spa area is very small. By the time we realised this, we were not able to book to use our complimentary spa visits as there were no convenient slots left. Pity!

Beautiful hotel, excellent Front Desk and Guest Relations staff, welcoming, empathetic and generally efficient general staff, lovely facilities, comfortable rooms, good accessibility, quality entertainment, varied and copious breakfast buffet, beautiful big pool, beach...and the excellent Bounty Restaurant right on the beach.

- cleaning procedure always let tons of mosquitos into the bedroom - food was very low standard - for the buffet dinner you have to pay 25€ and the water is not included in the price - breakfast area is very small for the amount of people in the hotel (be there early) - they feed the birds sugar and know about the problem but do nothing about it - the shower drain is too high and the water at the bottom doesn’t drain completely - no toilet brush in the hotel room for the toilet - no slippers (we always get slippers) - the staff doesn’t understand a word english (everywhere in cabo verde)

- very clean and nice beach front - enough sun beds for the pool or the ocean - very clean bedrooms - the architecture of the hotel is very nice - lots of plants everywhere and very green

There were three of us, but we got a room for two (towels for two, two beds). Allergens were not mentioned at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. As someone following a gluten-free diet, I would have appreciated that.

A cozy place, the beach is excellent, and the staff is friendly. I could come again! I recommend the full board option instead of just breakfast, it was awesome

My stay was perfect in every way. I could write here all the details of this magnificent stay but I would simply say to you: Go and spend a few days there and you will understand my feeling of total satisfaction. Everything is perfect and the SPA is fabulous.

Being so close to the beach and not far to town.

The quality of the food is not commensurate with a 5 star hotel. In particular, Crispy Chicken Slider at the pool bar was of such poor quality I could not eat it (and I am not a food snob !). The roast chicken in the Bounty Restaurant was better but not great. There are some excellent local restaurants which I would suggest using instead of dining in the hotel.

The hotel is very comfortable with good sized rooms, a high level of cleanliness and has friendly, helpful staff. It is in a good, quiet location where walking into the town is just 20 minutes along a lovely beach-side path.

Dinner buffet was poor. Aside from Pasta and Pizza the meat and fish options were not good and prepared food was not geared towards Europeans. Pool bar food could do with improving Bounty Restaurant and staff was great The all night concerts were not enjoyable and should have a finish time to allow guests sleep.

Beach was amazing, loved the swimming pool, though loose stones and rail need attention before an injury happens. Buffet breakfast was good.

Beautiful resort with amazing beach

Stayed in August 2024

Booking and making modifications through booking.com was a hassle. The staff seemed inexperienced or unfocused in managing it. The staff was hardly understanding English. The omelets at breakfast were poorly made. Some of the activities were overpriced because of the hotel, I would recommend walking to the city to also find fun activities options there.

Beautiful resort, we were happy to see that most things were within walking distance or a few minute's taxi ride.

Breakfast was Okay.

The staff are incredible, the people in general in Cape Verde are very friendly. The breakfast was okay, I expected more to be honest. The beach is beautiful, and very near the hotel. There are beds available on the beach, free to use. The pool is big and nice. The room was great and clean. WiFi got bad after a couple of days staying and support didn't do much tbh.

Food in general could be better. Information at the reception desk could have been clearer and more thorough avoiding misinterpretation regarding half board rules.
