Absolute gem of a place in the perfect location. Will definitely return!
Pros:

The location was great, 2 mins to cafes/restaurants and only a few mins to the beach. The apartment was gorgeous and also very quiet. I was very happy for the price I paid. The staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you! An excellent restaurant next door too!

Cons:

There is literally nothing I didn’t like about this property.

Pros:

We were very satisfied. The rooms/apartments are spacious and extremely clean. The staff is wonderful and very accommodating – they fulfilled every one of our wishes. They also organized all the excursions around the island for us, which made our stay even more relaxing. We felt truly welcome the entire time.The child who was celebrating a birthday received a lovely surprise – a decorated apartment and a chocolate cake. We definitely recommend it, and we will certainly return.

Fabulous stay!
Pros:

We had an absolutely fantastic five days at Branco Suites!
The room was super clean and in a very quiet but central neighborhood, just a five minute walk to the beach. The bed and pillows excellent and very comfortable. The air conditioning worked very well, and made no noise at all.
And equally (if not more…) important, the service and attention to detail was second to none, right from when we arrived late at night to when we left (again very late at night), with special mention to Roni who went well above and beyond in his duty of care to make sure we were looked after at all times. He really stood out and epitomises what great customer service should look like!
Also many thanks also to Dila at the reception and Umaru (during the night shift, and always with a big smile on his face!). A 10 out of 10 to all the Branco Suites team! 🫶

Cons:

Nothing not to like!

Kapo Verde Sal Urlaub
Pros:

Die Lage war sehr gut und alles fußläufig erreichbar was man brauchte, mini Markt, Stadt, Strand. Die Besitzer waren sehr nett und man bekam sehr gute Tipps für Ausflüge,Resaurants etc. Im Zimmer befand sich auch eine Karte mit Wegbeschreibung.
Die Betten waren sehr bequem :-) und die Reinigung erfolgte auch regelmäßig. Die Küche war auch mit allem was wir brauchten ausgestattet außer ein Topf fehlte fürs Nudeln kochen :-)

Cons:

Es war leider oft sehr laut auf den Straßen und man hörte Musik oder andere Gäste im Stiegenhaus.

Pleasant stay at Branco suites
Pros:

The personnel was very nice and helpful. The apartment was tastefully decorated, kept clean and close to the center, and the beach.

Cons:

The internet access was good in the living room, but outside, that was terrible. We tried to use Netflix, but it seemed the subscription was full, I mean, the maximum number of viewers had been achieved.

Pros:

Excellent! We had stayed at a different location for a few days in Santa Maria and then moved here (after visiting another island). This is the best accommodation we had in Cabo Verde. A lovely quiet location, seems a very safe area. Room size great, convenient plus by the bed for charging devices.
Room cleaning services available which is great due to the sandy nature of a beach holiday.
Helpful check in process where they recommended restaurants etc in the area, however her intro chat was quite long and we really didn't need this much explanation, we'd been in the area before.
