Parfait pour une étape
Pros:

Très bien situé en revenant de Santo Antao et avant de repartir à l’aéroport, excellent accueil de Paula, aux petits soins et très serviable. Chambre confortable

Cons:

Un seul bémol, mais très léger, pour le petit déjeuner: quelques plateaux,notamment des fruits, assez limités et manque de « local » (semoule et mets locaux)

Super séjour.
Pros:

Chambre spacieuse, literie très confortable avec une belle terrasse.
Nous avons profité du jacuzzi de l’hôtel rooftop c’était top.
Le personnel était vraiment sympathique et attentionné.
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour.

Cons:

Dommage que la vue soit sur les toits du bâtiment en face ce qui gâche la vue sur la mer.

Pros:

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the area. From the very beginning, the service was incredibly kind and welcoming. The staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and always smiling, which made me feel comfortable right away 😊
One of the best things about my stay was the bed it was super comfortable! I slept really well every night, which made a big difference after a long day of travelling. The room was clean, cozy, and very well prepared.
I was also pleasantly surprised because the staff prepared my room much earlier than expected. This was a huge help after my trip, and I really appreciated the effort they made for me. It showed how much they care about their guests ❤️
Another thing worth mentioning is that the hotel staff arranged a taxi to the airport for me. The price was 1200 escudo, which was very convenient and saved me a lot of time and stress. Everything was organized perfectly and smoothly.
Overall, I had a fantastic experience and I would gladly stay here again. Amazing service, a very comfortable bed, and excellent support from the staff made this stay truly special ⭐

Pros:

The person at the reception was amazing, unfortunately I forgot his name. I normally only give 10/10 to places that on top of being great have something truly unique, like extraordinarily beautiful building or views, something that stays with you after the stay. With this place, it was the person working the reception while I was there. He makes this place a true gem instead of just another great hotel.

Pros:

Sehr gute zentrale Lage. Ein Hotel mit absolut westlichem Standard. Zimmer schön groß und gemütlich, zudem eine eigene große Terrasse. Die Zimmer sind leise. Nett ist auch ein Begrüßungstrunk, den man beim Einchecken bekommt.
