Pros:

Este hotel superó mis expectativas. Los cuartos son cómodos y limpios, el personal es muy simpático y accesible. En la hora de desayuno fuimos atendidos por la Chez Maria Júlia con quien estuvimos platicando sobre diversos temas y quien fue muy accesible. El hotel tiene una política de ambiente y sostenibilidad la cual respetan y se ve reflejada en su trabajo.

Incroyable
Pros:

Le petit déjeuné était super bon, bien préparé avec des choix qui variaient en fonction des jours. Nous avions droit également à des préparations locales, ce qui était un plus. Nous faisons des expériences culinaires en prenant plaisir! Le service et la bonté du personnel était incroyable on se sentait comme chez nous! Nous avons fait la rencontre de la propriétaire et honnêtement nous n'aurions pas rêvé de meilleure hôtel pour le Cap-Vert. Elle nous conseillait et surtout préparait de merveilleux plats. Les chambres étaient spacieuses et confortables. Je recommande à 100% pour le confort des chambres, l'accueil, la qualité du service et la gourmandise des plats.

Pros:

Beautiful clean space with wonderful food, very comfortable spacious rooms and great staff

Cons:

It was quite hot when we were there (all over the island) and only the bedrooms had AC on so it was harder to enjoy meals in the heat or hang out in the lobby

Excelente experiência
Pros:

Foi tudo maravilhoso na estadia! O quarto amplo e bem iluminado, o café da manhã tinha tudo fresco e preparado no dia! A noite a Chef Maria Júlia preparava pratos saborosos! Além de ser muito simpática e atenta às necessidades dos hóspedes!

Cons:

De ter que ir embora do Hotel e de Cabo Verde!

Pros:

Le petit dej était excellent. Le restaurant de l'hôtel aussi etait excellent. Et le personnel était très aimable et serviable. Nous avons rencontré un souci avec notre vol et le personnel a été d'une très grande aide pour l'extension de notre séjour et la replanification de notre vol.

Cons:

Il manque des équipements et des essentiels dans la chambre (Sèche cheveux, Bouilloire, pas assez de ceintres, du the/café).
Des petites bouteilles d'eau a l'arrivée auraient été très appréciées.

Pros:

La comida es casera, se desayuna bien. La habitación comoda

Cons:

Esta alejado del centro de la ciudad, hay que cojer siempre taxy o alquilar. Hay que hablar de antemano con los taxistas algunos suben el precio por ser turista.

Nice hotel, spacious rooms, but misleading breakfast
Pros:

Good location. The room is very large and spacious, and the bathroom has good water pressure. Breakfast, even though it was the tiniest we ever had, was good quality and tasted good.

Cons:

The breakfast buffet photos were misleading. Maybe because it was low season, but nonetheless, we only had a tiny cart and no one told us while checking in. Part of why we booked was the breakfast buffet, so that was disappointing.

Loud renovations continued late into the evening (even at 9:20 PM).

The room smelled of moisture.

Pros:

Everything. Near a walking track by the ocean, near some nice bars, cafés and restaurants - but we eat very well Chez Maria Julia, and it is not plus expansive.

Cons:

Nothing
