Country Houses in Cape Verde

"No hotel has ever exceeded my expectations as much as this one. ​At first, I was actually a bit jealous of the people staying in those big hotels right on the coast. But once I walked down there, I realized it was just a dead end full of nothing but tourists and hotel amenities. I even saw people basically fleeing their resorts because they couldn't face another boring hotel buffet! ​Staying in the heart of Santa Maria was a total game-changer. We got to experience the real local culture—eating where the locals eat, chatting, and actually feeling part of the community. Everything we needed (shops, restaurants, you name it) was less than a minute's walk away. ​The hotel itself was great and really well-maintained. The staff did a meticulous job cleaning the rooms, and having Netflix was a huge plus for winding down at the end of the day. Breakfast was served fresh every morning, and even though the menu didn't change much, it was always tasty. It was a bit unlucky that the rooftop was being renovated while we were there, as that would’ve been the icing on the cake, but honestly, the stay was still perfect."

"The Level upgrade is worth it. The staff were super friendly. A great stay overall"

"Honestly one of the best resorts I’ve stayed at. The food was amazing with so much variety. The scenery and beaches were beautiful, making the whole experience even more relaxing. The staff were also incredibly friendly and always willing to help whenever needed. I’ll definitely be visiting again!"

"The entire staff is amazing and everything about this property"

"Fine but rather bland hotel outside of Praia. OK if you have a flight out or want to explore the island of Santiago, but beyond that, NOT a holiday destination given the price. Santiago is a great Island to explore."

"Everything about this hotel was great. If you are coming to Verde, definitely stay here"

"Beach view room provided partial beach view at best. Rooms dark, still in 80's style. Breakfast good, La Tortue is nice restaurant. Several pools with a lot of chairs, in and out of shade."

"I wouldn’t recommend the hamburger other than that all first class"

"Room was clean and comfortable. Screen door allowed me to sleep with the air off and listening to the winds blow thru the palm trees. Very relaxing. Food was good with plenty of options and beach also nice. Not a fan of the wind blockers around all the beach loungers' as it blocks the view and people are right next to each other. I like my space. Overall, I had a great time and enjoyed the resort. "
