Top Santa Maria Beach Hotel Reviews

Villa Ao Mar

10/10 Excellent

"everything was amazing, I will be back !! the host, the security, the house keeper, great people !!"

Hotel Central Santa Maria

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! The hotel is brand new and in a really convenient location, very close to the main tourist street/alley where you’ll find all the bars and restaurants. The staff were incredibly helpful, kind, and always smiling, both day and night. Breakfast is included, which is a great bonus and made the stay even better. The only small issue was the water in the shower, but this seems to be a general water issue across the island rather than a problem with the hotel itself. Overall, a lovely place to stay with great staff and a fantastic location"

Branco Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean , organized"

Melia Tortuga Beach

8/10 Good

"Great choice of speciality restaurants with good quality menus."

Hotel Pontao

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

Morabeza Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nous avons passé un excellent séjour au Morabeza et honnêtement, tout était au rendez-vous. Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été très bien accueillis et nous avons tout de suite apprécié l’ambiance de l’hôtel : chaleureuse, paisible et vraiment dépaysante. L’emplacement est incroyable, avec la plage juste devant et cette atmosphère tellement agréable qui donne immédiatement l’impression d’être en vacances. Les chambres étaient propres, confortables et bien entretenues, et tout le personnel a été adorable et aux petits soins pendant notre séjour. Mention spéciale pour l’ambiance générale de l’hôtel, qui garde beaucoup de charme et d’authenticité. C’est exactement le genre d’endroit où on peut vraiment déconnecter, profiter du soleil, de la plage et prendre son temps. Nous repartons avec de très beaux souvenirs et surtout l’envie de revenir. Merci à toute l’équipe du Morabeza pour ce superbe séjour ! Une adresse que je recommande sans hésiter si vous venez à Sal."

Royal Horizon Beijo Mansão - Ponta Sino

8/10 Good

"The hotel looks exactly like the pictures, nice and modern. It was a pleasant stay, as it is a new hotel there’s still a few teething issues such as the WiFI and TV not always working, but the staff are prompt to resolve. The room was exactly what I wanted which is always a bonus. Side note there are no tall palms trees, so there is very little shade by the pools sadly. Food was okay too."

Melia Dunas Beach Resort & Spa - All Inclusive

8/10 Good

"Great family friendly hotel with a good selection of food. Staff were very helpful when ask for help or if anything was needed."

Hilton Cabo Verde Sal Resort

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed the ocean view and the placement of my rooms and how helpful their staff were. It was a great experience"
