True surprise
Pros:

Budha Beach Hotel is a hidden gem. It has everything without the busy crowds of the other huge Hotels of the island. Personnel is always kind and smiling, Restaurant for breakfast, snacks and dinner is excellent, along with its personnel. The Hotel is at walking distance from Santa Maria center. Recommended

Aceptable
Pros:

Camas cómodas, personal amable, piscina y jardín bien cuidada, la cena de carta muy buena.

Cons:

La zona está en medio de un descampado de tierra (no está aslfatada la calle), por la noche esa calle no tenía luz (hay farolas pero estaban apagadas) y al hacerse de noche tan pronto daba miedo andar por ahí pese a que todo estaba tranquilo y el hotel tenía seguridad en la puerta.

Pros:

La zona de la piscina y la amabilidad del personal

Cons:

Mi habitación era un espacio muy pequeño. Solo decirte que las mesitas de noche estaban puestas en Vertical porque de manera horizontal no cabian.
En una semana entera las sábanas me las cambiaron una vez y a petición mía.
El lavabo se inundaba cuando te duchabas

Teleurstellend verblijf door slechte service, een onveilige situatie en geen compensatie ondanks meerdere klachten.
Pros:

De locatie was goed en de kamer was groter nadat ik €80 extra had betaald.

Cons:

Ik heb in totaal €430 betaald (€350 + €80 voor een grotere kamer), maar de kamer was dat bedrag absoluut niet waard. Er was een lekkage in de badkamer, waardoor ik ben uitgegleden en hard ben gevallen. Hierdoor heb ik een flinke blauwe plek op mijn knie opgelopen. Ik heb dit direct gemeld. Nadat de lekkage was gerepareerd, rook de kamer twee dagen lang sterk naar azijn, waardoor mijn verblijf erg onaangenaam was. Ik heb meerdere keren gevraagd om de eigenaresse te spreken over een compensatie, maar elke dag werd mij verteld dat ze de volgende dag zou komen. Uiteindelijk is ze nooit verschenen en moest ik vertrekken voor mijn vlucht zonder dat mijn klacht was opgelost. Daarnaast moest ik ook nog €60 betalen voor een bezoeker. Oh ja en de gordijnen waren ook niet compleet opgehangen.
Ik heb foto’s van de lekkage en van mijn verwonding. Voor het bedrag dat ik heb betaald, had ik veel betere service, veiligheid en kwaliteit verwacht.
Ik wil bij deze een compensatie terug.

The perfect stay
Pros:

Perfect stay if you want to visit Sal and relax. The room was really nice, the pool so calm and the restaurant too was very good (I had breakfast and dinner). The personnel is so kind and helpful to get some activities organized in Sal. I strongly recommend Budha Beach Hotel ❤️

Wonderful place and people
Pros:

We stayed for a week at the end of June and loved it. The pool was always quiet and there are plenty of sunbeds. The staff were amazing, helpful, friendly and always working hard to make the experience special for all. The breakfast had a great choice at the buffet and 3 types of cooked on offer as well. I asked if they did omelette as it wasn't on the menu and they made me one each morning. The room was cleaned daily to a high standard. We had a room facing the pool and open that had lovely views. The beach is a 30 second walk to p
She'll beach and a 2 minute walk to the sandy beach and a lovely beach bar serving excellent pizzas. We went bed and breakfast but ate in the hotel on 4 occasions. The filet mignon was stunning (Im not a fish person). Prices for food and drinks was very reasonable as well. We are planning to go back next year as we enjoyed it so much.

Agradable
Pros:

La comodidad, el desayuno y comidas estupendo

Cons:

Aparenta tener acceso a la playa y efectivamente está enfrente del mar pero la playa está llena de piedras y sargazo maloliente. Para poder ir a una playa donde te puedas bañar tienes que caminar unos 2 km

Tranquilidad con vistas al mar
Pros:

El personal súper amable.
La piscina genial, con vistas al mar.
El desayuno muy bueno y variado, y las mesas de la terraza estaban frente al mar.
Muy tranquilo.
Había muchos pajaritos muy monos en la zona de la piscina, nos encantaron.

Cons:

El restaurante algo caro para la media de Cabo Verde, aunque la comida estaba rica.

Un hôtel à taille humaine, calme, avec un personnel exceptionnel et une manager très professionnelle
Pros:

La chambre avec vue mer était magnifique et très calme après le changement effectué par la manager, qui a été d’une efficacité exemplaire. Le personnel est adorable, notamment Dalida, toujours souriante et curieuse d’apprendre quelques mots de français. L’ambiance générale de l’hôtel est reposante, sans animation, parfaite pour se détendre.

Cons:

Le cappuccino et certaines boissons chaudes du petit‑déjeuner ne sont pas au niveau, probablement à base de lait en poudre. Le dîner à base de viande était trop cuit.
