If you want to use the air conditioner you have to pay an additional 3€ a night. I thought that was very odd. You can't sleep with the windows open because of the loud music from the shisha lounge, nearby bars and the busy street.

Rooms were comfortable and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. The free breakfast was very good and the staff was very helpful. The hotel is located 1 block away from the beach and a quick walk to a beach that you can swim in and use their beach club. Lots of restaurants and shops near the hotel.

It's centrally located with very easy access to the beach. They can book great tours for you, and breakfast on the rooftop is good - you can ask for eggs (omelet, etc.) alongside buffet items.

We really enjoyed our stay at the MiraBela. It located perfectly - beach, restaurants & shops are very close. The staff is really friendly and the room has everything we needed. They organised an airport pick-up for us and were happy to help us with all the questions we had and gave some tips on what to explore on the island. We especially enjoyed to roof-top-Terrasse. The breakfast up there was lovely and we also enjoyed spending time there during the day. For us it was the perfect start to our Cabo Verde Holiday

Despite thick glass windows, it can be very loud on weekends and other festive nights. Also the mattresses were not as comfortable as we would have hoped (but everyone has there own preferences and tastes of comfort).

This is a charming place, with friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff (thank you Caroline, Luciette & Adi!!) The location is very central, which is great if you want to be close to restaurants, Praia de Santa Maria, shops...but be aware this also means it can be VERY loud and boisterous at night. (Granted, we were there over Winter Break, including New Year's Eve...but even on regular weekend nights we can imagine it being equally active.) The windows/doors of Hotel Mirabela do a great deal to reduce outdoor noise...but it can still be very loud and thunderous with music at night time. Water is filtered on-site, and therefore is potable out of the tap, and the hotel makes efforts to be more environmentally conscious (with cloth bags on-loan in the rooms to reduce plastic shopping bags, and refillable water bottles). Breakfast was delicious, and is served on the upstairs terrace - which is a great way to start the day! We will definitely look to stay here again when we have an opportunity to return to Sal, C.V. !!

A little noisy at night time as the hotel is located right on the main street and downstairs there are many restaurants

Basic room but clean. Breakfast was good, location is very central

MiraBela had a colonial appearance and charm with balconies and a great roof terrace for breakfast of chilling out. It was central in the town, our room overlooked nearby restaurants and street life. The lovely beach could be seen from the rooftop. Staff could not have been more helpful. We were able to check out, leave our bags and make use of the roof top terrace. We swam and ate out in beach side restaurants and in the evening in the town next to MiraBela. Lots of local colour. We really enjoyed our short time in Santa Maria

The hotel has everything you need, is at a great location very nearby the center and the beach, the staff is very friendly and provides good service. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others!

Nothing to complain about! Everything is well taken care of.

This was my second time booking this accommodation, and still so very happy that I stayed here. One of the members even recognized me! The team treats you as family and makes sure that all is well. I wanted to book a last minute catamaran cruise tour but everything was fully booked.. I told them and just a few calls later, they managed to arrange one for me! Thank you so much for all the care and help.

That we could only stay one week as we ran out of holiday ;)

We loved everything of our stay. The location was perfect and the room too with a balcony to relax. They also have a terrace with a view of the restaurants and it's a perfect location to relax, listening to music. It's close to the beach and you have everything you might need nearby, including local restaurants (touristy ones too if you prefer). But what made our stay amazing was the staff. Everyone was so nice and kind, we had great chats and they were really friendly. From the reception guys, the cook, the cleaning lady. It felt like home. They helped us when our flight got cancelled and offered an airport transfer even before we asked. We also booked an island tour with them and it was great and a lot fun. If we were to go back to Sal we would 100% stay here again.

Can be a little loud in the evening being next to Jamaican bar but not hotel fault and part of charm of being in this great location.

Great location right on the main tourist street. Staff was wonderful. They let us keep one of the two rooms that was not reserved until after our day tour so we could shower and change before our flight. Breakfasts were great with several made to order choices.

Breakfast could be varied as it was same every day.

It is right centre of the Main Street of Sal. Positive as it’s close to restaurants. Negative as it could be noisy with music. However the rooms have good doors to block the noise. Lovely balcony if you are a smoker or people gazer. Internet was good. The staff were excellent in organising tours and taxi. And giving local tips.

A tad on the expensive side, but we book last minute and for short stays.

Fantastic staff - friendly and welcoming (all the staff on every shift). Let us a shower room the evening of the day we checked out, before our late flight. Room was fine - some street noise but that's well-advertised and the windows and balcony doors do their best to insulate. Breakfast was very tasty - e.g. the made-to-order eggs and bacon. Enjoyed the central location.

Nothing, everything is splendid.

The hotel is located on the main street and so just 2 min walk to the beach, very convenient! You can get a filled water bottle and when it's empty, they'll refill it so you can bring it along. The breakfast was lovely and you had different options which was good. I also want to give a big big big thank you to Simone, she made me feel so safe as a solo female traveller and give me tips. She reassured me a lot of times. Thank you to Lisandro as well!
