Pros:

Vi kunne godt lide stemningen på hotellet, lille og uformelt. I tidligere evalueringer har jeg set at der var nattestøj ved hotellet. Der var ingen støjende natklub ved siden af som tidligere beskrevet. Selvfølgelig er der almindelig gadelarm, det er en selvfølgelighed når man vælger at bo centralt.
Hotellet kan synes dyrt i forhold til hotellets standard, men prisniveauet er desværre generelt højt i Santa Maria.
Det to kun 5 minutter ned til gågaden.

Cons:

Vi boede på hotellet to gange, første 2 nætter da vi ankom til Sal, derefter rejste vi rundt for igen at slutte med 2 nætter før vores hjemrejse.
Vores bekræftelse fra Booking.com sagde begge gange, at man kunne betale for opholdet med Mastercard eller Visa. Desværre krævede værtinden at vi skulle betale med kontanter.
Det er selvfølgelig ikke forbundet med omkostninger for værtinden ved betaling med kontanter, alle gebyrer bliver pålagt gæsten.
Vi boede på 8 andre hoteller på Kap Verde under vores rundtur, alle andre tog mod kortbetaling - et hotel opkrævede et gebyr på 3% ved kortbetaling - hvilket jeg synes er et fair system.
At nægte at modtage kortbetaling når muligheden står anført på bookingbekræftelsen er ikke i orden.

War ganz nett.
Pros:

Das einheimische Personal war sehr freundlich und die Zimmer sehr sauber. Frühstück war ok.

Cons:

Die Bäder hatten keine geschlossenen Decken, es war durch die Lage an der Hauptstraße sehr laut und zusätzlich ist gerade eine Baustelle daneben, davor und dahinter. Unterkunft konnte nur Bar vor Ort bezahlt werden (war auf der Webseite anders angegeben).

Desilusão e estragou-nos as férias
Pros:

Da funcionária que estava na receção que era muito querida e deu dicas do que visitar.

Cons:

Praticamente tudo o resto. A Internet não chegava ao quarto, a água não tinha pressão e estava sempre praticamente fria. As fichas no quarto estava tão usadas e estragadas que não conseguíamos carregar o telemóvel no quarto. O pequeno almoço era muito pouca comida, tínhamos depois de comer fora porque ficávamos com fome. Muito somiticos nas porções, especialmente com o café e as fatias de bolo. Péssimo e não recomendo ninguém. E quero deixar bem claro que não considero que esta experiência represente bem Cabo Verde onde fomos tratadas muito bem em geral. Só mesmo este hotel foi mau.

Pros:

La ubicación es perfecta, está al lado del centro y al lado de la playa. Para ser una pensión, las habitaciones son correctas. Tiene la Wi-Fi, quizá es lo más justo. Solo tienes Wi-Fi en las zonas comunes, pero en global, calidad-precio bastante recomendable.

La ubicación es perfecta, las camas son cómodas y el personal es brutal, súper agradable.

Cons:

Poca cobertura de wifi y les convendría una renovación pero realmente el resto está perfecto.

Great Location for visiting the best of Sant Maria
Pros:

Perfectly located off the main beach area but just a 5 minute walk to the main bars, restaurants and beach. Area is quiet, with a supermarket a minute walk away.
Not to big to be impersonable, all the staff were very polite and friendly. We ate there aa few times and the food was very good.

Un séjour sans plus
Pros:

Le prix

Cons:

Manque de Wi-Fi ds la chambre seulement possível au niveau 0. Télévision n’a jamais fonctionner.
Lit trop petit 140 cm, plus de habitude de dormir ds un lit aussi petit. Personnel pas à l’écoute du client. Repas trop cher en rapport avec d’autres restaurants de Santa Maria.
