Benjamin

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is conveniently located. The staff was helpful for arranging taxis, storing baggage. The breakfast was Cabo Verde average. The hotel and the room were not in a good shape though. The room is a dark hole, there is a fuse box humming loudly the whole night (so you have to turn the whole electricity off, including AC). The water takes about 10 minutes to warm up a bit. The pool is very dirty, small and uninviting, „fitness“ isn‘t even worth description. On top of that at the end they charge you extra for 2 tiny bottles of water, there is no openly visible price tag and the water was free in all our other Cabo Verde places. It‘s not about the money, it‘s about the attitude: trying to cheat and earn most money out of a worn down place. Sorry, no recommendation.

Hôtel en fin de vie

Hôtel médiocre. La piscine et le bar promis sur le toi ne fonctionne pas. L'air conditionné dans la chambre crache de l'eau. Le mini bar avec bière et jus d'orange promis n'est pas approvisionné malgré les remarques Le frigos dabs la chambre fait un bruit de bouilloire électrique. La télé ne fonctionne pas. Les poubelles des gens avant son toujour la. Le petit déjeuner pain sec. Pas de confiture n'y choco. Personnel peu agréable. Le pire hôtel de tous mes voyages

Need to fix booking if more than 2 people.

I selected 3 adults when I book this hotel. When we got there, they had a room with 1 double bed. We explained to them over and over that we need places for 3 adults. We asked if they could bring in an additional bed or give us a room with 2 beds. They charged us and additional $30 and took us up to a room that had 2 twin beds (space for 2 people to sleep). We explained again, as we were pointing to all 3 of us, that we need a place for 3 people to sleep. They said they would give us back our original room and bring in an extra bed (what we had asked for when we first found out that there was only 1 bed). We waited around for a while, then decided we needed to get dinner (it was already late). We left our room and found a bed by the elevator. After dinner we went back to the hotel and the bed was outside our room. I put it in our room and a while later someone showed up and they weren't happy that I put the bed in our room, they wanted to do it. In the end it worked out, but double, or triple, check if you plan on sleeping more than 2 people in a room.

L’hotel est situé dans un immeuble récent avec des commerces et restaurants à proximité ; la plage est à 800m à pied. La chambre était spacieuse avec très grand lit ; l’air conditionné et le wifi fonctionnaient très bien ; il y avait un grand placard bien pratique ; en revanche il n’y avait pas de coffre fort Le personnel était serviable et attentionné ; le petit-déjeuner était varié et bon et servi dans une grande salle ; la piscine sur la terrasse est minuscule
