"Lovely helpful staff. The room was clean and we didnt realise they would do our washing up and clean every day which was great. No internet except in the reception which was annoying tho. Great location. Easy walk to the beach and always a taxi avaliable outside. "

"Schöner Aufenthalt, überall sehr aufmerksames Personal!"

"Room was dated. TVs dud not work. Room was never cleaned. Towels never changed, Beds never made! Too many kids!"

"The location is amazing just steps away from the beach. Then you also have bikini beach and Bob Marley clubs on the beach also. The staff was very friendly. We had the level experience with a swim up pool and just fantastic. "

"Not impressed with the room, or the style of seperate houses. We stayed at Melia Unas for 5 days their set was better, paths of tiles not gravel. I asked for a hairdryer it never came. Food was good and all the staff very helpful and pleasent. "

"Great location, self-contained but secure within a residential area with access to a choice of facilities"

"Accommodation is very dated. Website photos do not reflect the hotel. Many of the properties on the resort are old and dilapidated. Wifi in room was the worst I have experienced in the last 10 years and we was lied to about this. For example you will have Wi-Fi on the sofa but less than three metres away you can’t use Wi-Fi in the bed to make a phone call. It was that bad. It was explained as a blackout across Cape Verde however good internet in bar area and other parts of Sal. Friendly and helpful staff especially Duke and the restaurant and bar staff. Free shuttle to Santa Maria twice a day was useful. "

"The apartment is well maintained and was spotlessly clean. A couple of really minor issues were almost instantly resolved and the communication throughout the booking and the stay was excellent.The resort common areas are clean and well maintained. There’s always loads of vacant loungers on the sunny and pleasantly breezy beach. Buy drinks or coffee from the hotel bars with your credit card which are cheap and strong! The Dunas hotel has some bad reviews but that doesn’t affect the apartment or common areas so don’t let that put you off.Villa Verde supermarket is an easy 10 min walk away or shop in town at the Chinese-run Huang Supermarket had the best range and prices. The host can recommend great restaurants. Also try Cafe Creolo for the best cooked grilled fish I’ve ever had - and for something a bit fancier try Sal Grosso. Walk about 20 mins south down the beach to Ponta Preta for amazing seafood on the beach (plus free sunloungers for customers). Taxis are readily available outside the resort to town with a fixed fare of EUR5. It’s also a safe 35 min walk back from town if you prefer.Santa Maria is very safe but scruffy in places (this is Africa not Europe). On the beach folks will try to sell you souvenirs but they’ll leave you alone if you give them a polite but firm “no”. The resort’s WiFi is slow so don’t count on streaming movies while you’re here so download the Google Map of the island for offline use and use free restaurant WiFi to sync your Facebook!"
