Consigliato
Pros:

Staff super cordiale e disponile, qualità del cibo molto alta, posizione strategica fronte mare con il bar/ristorante sulla spiaggia quasi solo per gli ospiti dell’hotel e con i lettini gratis.

Cons:

Praticamente nulla. Sta solo attenti ai piccioni a colazione che rubano il mangiare

Hôtel agréable sur l’île de Sal
Pros:

Bel hôtel bien placé, très propre

Cons:

Un effort devrait être fait sur la végétation de manière à supprimer ces grands parterres de sable qui donnent une mauvaise impression

Zeer fijn rustig hotel op perfecte lokatie
Pros:

Locatie is perfect. Dicht tegen Santa Maria aan. Fijn rustig hotel. Geen vervelende muziek en/of entertainment-teams.

Cons:

Ontbijt is een beetje een rommeltje. Heel vaak zijn er dingen op: geen gebakken eieren, bacon, jam, bestek. Dat zou echt beter moeten.

Au-delà de nos attentes
Pros:

Qualité de la nourriture (dans le cadre de la demi-pension). Personnel attentionné, souriant, compétent, disponible. Courts de tennis, plusieurs piscines bien entretenues. Proximité de la plage et du club de Wingfoil Ion (que je recommande également). Hotel et plage associée calmes, ce qui n'est pas forcément le cas lorsque l'on s'éloigne de l'hôtel.

Cons:

Le revêtement des courts de tennis est perfectible, mais c'est vraiment un détail par rapport à la qualité de la prestation !

Pros:

Très bel établissement, encore à taille humaine, très bien situé! Propreté irréprochable.
Personnel adorable.

Cons:

Si vous séjournez un jeudi soir dans le bloc qui donne sur la piscine adults only, munissez-vous de bouchons d'oreilles: la boite de nuit voisine fonctionne à fond... pas possible de dormir avant 4h du matin... indépendant de l'hotel, mais très mauvaise expérience.

J'ai bien peur que la construction du futur Barcelo ne ruine complètement l'esprit de Santa Maria, déjà ecrasée par les immenses complexes "all-in"

Little Gem in a Surperb Location
Pros:

This is a brilliant hotel in a surperb location. We had everything we needed within a stone throw. Yes the rooms are traditional with minor faults, but they are very clean. If there are any problems the staff are really attentive. Breakfast is buffet style so the same every day, but the dinner is amazing and has variety. Considering all the big chain resorts lately in the news, this family run hotel is efficiently managed and we have not been ill atall. This has been the best hotel we've had and celebrated my sons 21st in style. They even made him a homemade cake 🎂.... Love this hotel 🏨 .... Please look at for Luna the Stray Dog, the animals just need a bit of food and water during your stay !!!.

Beautiful & relaxing hotel and restaurant(s)
Pros:

If you are looking for the perfect blend of authentic Cape Verdean charm and modern comfort, Hotel Morabeza is the place to be. We recently returned from a stay here, and it’s easy to see why this is considered the "Grand Dame" of Sal.
Why it stands out. Unlike many of the massive, impersonal all-inclusive resorts on the island, Morabeza feels like a private estate. You are right on the edge of the stunning Santa Maria beach, yet also steps away from the town’s vibrant shops and local restaurants. You get the best of both worlds. The staff truly embodies "Morabeza" (the local word for hospitality). They are attentive and warm without being intrusive. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the ocean is a dream. We also highly recommend the Beach Club for a fresh seafood lunch with your toes in the sand. Try to book a room with a sea waking up to the sound of the Atlantic is worth every penny. Don’t miss the live local music in the evenings—the "Morna" performances are hauntingly beautiful. This isn't just a hotel; it’s an experience. If you want a soulful, relaxing, and high-quality getaway in Cape Verde, look no further. We are already planning our return trip.
