Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's location is convenient, close to the airport and beaches, with friendly service. However, the cleanliness of the rooms was subpar, making it challenging to relax or work comfortably.
The hotel offers spacious, clean, and well-equipped rooms that are comfortable for a self-catering stay. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, even storing luggage ahead of check-in. The location is convenient with good access to coastal areas for morning runs. The dining options are varied and delicious, with a wide selection to please all tastes.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious rooms at the hotel, which overlooked a very large pool surrounded by palm trees with the sea in the distance. Despite being not well insulated and hearing some snoring, the room provided ample space, including two huge beds that made up an oversized king bed, along with a great bathroom. The value for money was justified considering the room size and amenities.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the rooms were spacious and comfortable with a coffee machine, they needed some attention in the shower area and lighting. The service was truly outstanding, with staff being incredibly nice, accommodating, and professional. The location was excellent for exploring Praia and the island, although not ideal for nighttime walks. The dining experience was delightful with a wide choice of options but sometimes a bit delayed in preparation. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, enjoying the spacious and comfortable rooms with a lovely pool view. The service was exceptional, especially with the very late check-out offered, making my stay even better. The location was perfect for exploring Praia and the island, though more loungers and accessible pool towels would have been great. The dining experience was delightful with a wide selection of delicious dishes. Overall, a great choice for a trip to Praia!
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were located above the hotel's workshop, which could be a bit noisy during the day, but they were well-equipped with a safe, flat-screen TV, an empty fridge, an office desk, and a chair. I enjoyed the view from the room, facing the very large pool surrounded by palm trees and the sea beyond. The little open balcony with private sunbeds was a nice touch.
