Santa Maria Konaklamanızı Bulun

Can’t complain! Was a good beautiful hotel with plenty of food and drinks for all guests! Very easy to get there from the airport and everyone speaks English if you don’t speak the native language or similar. Most requests are done via their handy app which is easy to navigate and all inclusive is true to the name! You only pay for anything extra such as treatments in the Spa or items from the shop located on site otherwise everything else is included in the cost of your stay! I would have preferred more options for the 24hr “snack/food option” but this was only used out of hours so not many times for me.

The complex are blocks of apartments that are mainly for self catering. It was quite a distance from airport costing 20 euros by taxi. Check in was a lengthy process with little info on the resort surrounding area, apart from shuttle bus time table. There was no local public bus information regarding destination and timetable, which would have helped us a lot. We were very impressed with the spacious suite of 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen and through lounge with large balcony to the rear, overlooking the pool and another large balcony to the front. Ironing board and iron, hairdryer, showers were effective with good temperature control, air conditioning units. Everything spotless, clean towels when needed, towels for pool supplied. Free shuttlebus service to town, capital city or the beach. There is a bank on site as well as a supermarket, coffee shop, restaurant and small bar. We were half board basis and were very disappointed with the choices of the buffet dinner each night plus the food was cold. We did report this after our first meal but nothing was done - still cold each night!. Breakfast had the same choices each morning but was ok. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Overall, our stay was enjoyable with impressive suite of rooms but was marred by the dining experience.

Melia Hotel is divided into Melia Dunas and Sol Dunas, both of which belong to Melia. In the same place, the facilities are shared one after the other, but Sol guests can go to Melia for dining and vice versa. The hotels are all white. There are no descent, it can be said that almost all the hotels in Cape Verde are like this, and most of them are white elderly couples, not many young people, singles are not, and you do n’t need to think about looking for a chance. The room is large and comfortable, the disadvantage is that there are many mosquitoes. After check out, you can still enjoy all the facilities and have a bathroom and a dressing room. One price all-inclusive buffet type is OK, not a lot. The service is very good, you have to answer questions. More recommended hotel near Santa Maria Beach in the south, it's so beautiful!

We travelled from oct12 to 26 First impressions were great. Only 2 story's but spread out over a large area with block 1 being near the restaurant and block 5 being near the beach. The room was lovely if not a bit dated . It was clean and the mini bar and coffee were restocked when asked. Also towels and sheets were changed when asked .TIP If you like milk in your tea or coffee take a small bottle to the restaurant and fill it with milk to keep in the fridge. At first glance the main restaurant looked amazing with every kind of food you could wish for,however the breakfast was never hot and I was very concerned about salads and fish being left uncovered for many hours .The 3 special restaurants were lovely in the evening but the Steak restaurant was awful at lunch with flies all over the salad. After eating at the Italian restaurant in the second week my husband band was vert ill will diarrhea and stomach cramps . TIP keep an eye on the app and book restaurants as soon as possible.Another tip is to avoid breakfast at 7 30 and eat when the fresh food is cooked . The pool and the beach leave a lot to be desired. As other people have said you really struggle to get a bed near the pool. If you put your hotel towels on the beds the staff will move them . Unfortunately this is the only way to get a be .TIP if you must safe a bed use your own towels.. The beds on the beach are old and most are broken, there are no tables and the only shade is under the trees . The bar only serves beer or soft drinks and water . Be careful in the see as the waves are very strong. Trips out..We booked 2 trips with Mr Africa on the beach,he gave us a good price.if you don't want to use these guys just say no thanks .Also went into Santa Maria at night, bars ,restaurants are OK and we saw an amazing dance group on the street. We also went to The dead she'll beach,not a tourist place but interesting, taxi there 7 euros and walked back TIP if shopping try the supermarket as its cheaper than the small stalls.TIp take euros, the hotel reception will change large notes into smaller ones. We tipped 3 to 5 euros everywhere we could as the staff work so hard and earn very little money. You won't be able to change escudos when you come back . We gave ours to the staff . Finally to finish we travelled back on a Saturday night, the airport is full of flies . When arriving home I was very ill with diarrhea and stomach cramps . This was the same as a lot of people we spoke to whilst staying there. All I can say is watch what you eat. Although we had a nice time we wouldn't go back and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. This is a 4star not 5star hotel .only good thing is the amazing staff who work so very hard.

Stayed for 7 nights, check-in was straight forward. Room was spacious and very clean. The food and drink was very good with plenty of selection. The staff were very efficient and friendly especially dining room and housekeeping staff. Nice pools but very busy and sometimes hard to get a sunbed with some shade. The entertainments was very good with something to watch most nights. The only downside with this hotel is the amount of flies in the restaurant ,the food in the restaurants should be covered at all times. If you have a late flight and you need a late check-out, they charge 10 Euros per hour per person which is extortionate! Overall a very good holiday!

Super clean hotel with the most amazing staff. Breakfast didnt have a lot of vegetarian options but it was okay. The hotel is situated in a local area which was amazing. Thank you for making our stay amazing! Hope to see you again in the future! 3 girls from Holland :)
