For example, i arrived from the airport at 21:30 and asked for a restaurant recommendation. They said everywhere was closed. Not the case at all and I found multiple restaurants open. Then the next day I asked for assistance to book ferry tickets as I have been unable to do so online. The advice I received was go out of the hotel to the left...I was not able to book tickets in time and missed my chance to go to Fogo. Then as I was leaving the hotel I asked if they could call me a taxi. The front desk person told me to go out and catch a taxi myself. Besides that the room itself was maybe the smallest I've ever had in the hotel and you can hear everything. The only thing the hotel has going for it is their location. ##### Joanna Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### MABU Aug 22, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Terrible,my son very disappointed 👎 The hotel was terrible, from the moment we arrived we were given the room we didn’t book jus 1 tiny double room instead of superior suite with queen bed and single bed. The pillows and towels old and pillows stitched with a black thread unprofessionally probably hand stitching. Breakfast was terrible the bread was dry & stale, serving plates were tiny side plates. Fruits were not fresh the papaya looked very mashed, they do not serve fresh breakfast, I regret booking this hotel & will never again The bed was not comfortable and was not the same size as the mattress, is this place a cheap hostel? Because clearly it doesn’t deserve even 3stars. The mini fridge was full when we arrived and nobody told us that if we use the drinks we need to pay for them.. at least give guest a brochure on their arrival so that they know they don’t touch drinks in the mini bar, instead we will have a choice of going for drinks outside.. I was charged for drinks we used after I thought they came with the package of the booking. I should have stayed at the other hotel instead of coming to this hotel, loud noise at night, and the corridors too stuffy & hot, 👎👎 ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7A15E0605999F9B485F61F65A10326E0B7F2004B1692738380362.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8FD24383EDDA4C64FBFDB3DFA7C3AAE63883230A1692738380667.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1A8245F34EB26140F69865FE7D81F6AC7B6082701692738382080.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### MABU Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### charles May 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Hôtel dans un joli bâtiment historique sur le Plateau, au centre de l'animation de la ville. Chambre pour 4 un peu petite avec des lits d'appoints qui faisaient beaucoup de bruit de ressorts. Sanitaires largement insuffisants, WC quasiment contre la paroi de douche, impossible de s'assoir de face... Tringle pour les linges non fixée. Rapport qualité-prix insuffisant pour moi. ##### charles Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Julie Apr 24, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities J’ai eu une très mauvaise expérience dans cet hôtel. Après m’être plaint 3 fois que je n’avais pas d’eau qui sortait de ma douche, et pas d’eau le matin, en plus d’une odeur d’égoût dans ma chambre, j’ai changé d’hôtel! Le monsieur de la réception était d’une grande inutilité. J’ai demandé à être remboursé mais il voulait que j’attende le manager pendant quelques heures! Les photos de la terrasse sont fausses: elle est inexistante. Horrible expérience! ##### Julie Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Herberto Apr 22, 2025 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Bien situé et très bon petit déjeuner. Cependant pas idéal avec des enfants en bas âge. Le lit d'appoint de ma fille était cassé et rideaux pas en bon état. ##### Herberto Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Mar 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Excellently positioned on Praia Plateau, which is full of history and culture. The Santa Maria has friendly, cheerful, Caboverdean staff and is comfortable, clean and caring. Buffet breakfast is delicious and it has a lift. The only minor problem is it’s sometimes hard to get on the WiFi. ##### Christine Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Romuald Mar 13, 2025 ##### Romuald Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Four Seasons Resort Seychelles](https://www.expedia.ca/Mahe-Island-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Seychelles.h2363105.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Meridien Ile Maurice](https://www.expedia.ca/Pointe-Aux-Piments-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Ile-Maurice.h524465.Hotel-Information) > > [Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River](https://www.expedia.ca/Fortuna-Hotels-Rio-Perdido-Hotel-Thermal-River.h6371123.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Karamboa - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Boa-Vista-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Karamboa-All-Inclusive.h4813332.Hotel-Information) > > [Honeymoon Resorts and Hotels in Bahamas](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Bahamas-Honeymoon-Hotels.0-0-d13-tHoneymoonHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hotels in Ottawa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels.d178296.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Six Senses Zil Pasyon Seychelles](https://www.expedia.ca/Felicite-Island-Hotels-Six-Senses-Zil-Pasyon.h15908699.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Turtle Bay Resort & Spa, Mauritius](https://www.expedia.ca/Balaclava-Hotels-The-Westin-Turtle-Bay-Resort-Spa.h1932372.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Los Angeles Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Hilton-Los-Angeles-Airport.h5907.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Touareg - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Boa-Vista-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Touareg-All-Inclusive.h4813390.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabin Rentals Clearwater](https://www.expedia.ca/Clearwater-Cabins.d6139224-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [MarriottHotelsResorts Hotels in Montego Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Marriott-Hotels-Resorts.0-0-d180106--bMarriottHotelsResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pool, Lake & Golf Access: Pine Lake Cabin w/ AC!](https://www.expedia.ca/Pine-Lake-Hotels-Whispering-Pines-Cabin-W-Pool.h21970242.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Leslieville](https://www.expedia.ca/Leslieville-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6348488-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hôtel Des Mille Collines](https://www.expedia.ca/Kigali-Hotels-Hotel-Des-Mille-Collines.h4230326.Hotel-Information) > > [HiltonHotels Hotels in Owen Sound](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-0-d6057875--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Kigali](https://www.expedia.ca/Kigali-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Kigali.h17860494.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vallartasol](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Hotel-Vallartasol.h551970.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Philippines](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Philippines-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d145-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Hillside Manor](https://www.expedia.ca/Bulawayo-Hotels-Hillside-Manor.h19119558.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Montreal.h173366.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Plattsburgh Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/pbg/nyc/plattsburgh-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Denver (DEN) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/den/lax/denver-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Sedona (SDX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sdx/vancouver-to-sedona) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yxx/calgary-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/msp/winnipeg-to-minneapolis) ### Cars > [Enterprise](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rental.cET.Travel-Guide-CarRentalCompany) ### General > [Visit Vineland Station](https://www.expedia.ca/Vineland-Station.dx6058150)
