Ok but a little overpriced
Pros:

Breakfast was good and the facility was well maintained overall. Dinner options were also very good.

Cons:

Had an okay stay here. The owner (Maria) was very nice and accommodating but it felt a little overpriced overall since there was not much in terms of facilities (e.g. swimming pool, fitness, patio furniture etc) and the general areas/lobby of the hotel were super hot every day since there was no AC/fan. If it were a little cheaper, I could see myself staying here again because it is removed a bit from the beaches where most other hotels are located but there was not much to do so I found myself stepping out each day.

Fantástica experiencia.
Pros:

El servicio es muy atento, cercano y amable. Todo el equipo tiene muchismas ganas de ayudar y hacer tu visita agradable. Son todos locales, está dirigido por una mujer local que utiliza la cocina para formar a trabajadores locales. Además ella es cocinera profesional y cocina increiblemente bien. Su restaurante es uno de los mejores (con diferencia) para probar comida local hecha con la maxima calidad.

Está en uno de los barrios más agradables para turistas, a 5min en taxi o coche del centro de Praia, a 2 pasos de la playa. La mejor localización para mi.

Fantastic chef that brings flair, sophistication and beautiful presentation to African/Cape Verdean inspired dishes.
Pros:

Fantastic chef that brings flair, sophistication and beautiful presentation to African/Cape Verdean inspired dishes. I had succulent and mouthwatering yellow fin tuna that I can still taste months later. Delicious is an understatement.

Prima en gastvrij
Pros:

Mooie accommodatie, Top hospitality van Maria Julia. ze heeft echt goed voor ons gezorgd. Fijn voor ons dat ze ook Nederlands spreekt.
Super mooi dat er een oud-op-nieuw party georganiseerd werd voor alle gasten. Leuk om zo andere gasten daar verder te leren kennen.
Verder mooie ruime kamers.

Cons:

Ontbijt was lekker, en niet al te uitgebreid. De gerechten die je kon bestellen uit de keuken waren overigens heerlijk

Pros:

Maria, de eigenaresse, begeleidde mensen in de keuken die ze het vak leerde. Dit betekende dat ze ons veel verschillende Kaapverdiaanse gerechten liet proeven die ze met haar leerlingen maakte.
Maria was heel gedreven en klantvriendelijk. Ze had het beste met haar klanten voor. Op de dag van ons vertrek, we moesten vroeg weg, maakte ze tot onze verrassing nog een uitgebreid ontbijt voor ons!
