La chambre est simple mais globalement propre.
Le ménage est fait tous les jours.
Par contre à notre arrivée il n’y avait personne, juste le gardien de nuit qui nous a laissé les clés sans instruction, nous n’avions plus d’eau il il n’y a pas d’eau à disposition dans l’hôtel. (Nous sommes arrivées à 1h du mat donc compliqué d’aller au supermarché …)
La wifi fonctionne très bien mais que dans le hall et sur la terrasse, nous n’avions pas le wifi dans notre chambre.

Bra frukost. Bra mat till lunch eller middag. Trevlig personal. Helt ok städat. Saknar dock wifi på rummet o mjukare sängar. Trafikerad gata utanför så lite störande.

Hôtel bien situé à Santa Maria, très propre et la chambre est faite tous les jours. Le petit déjeuner est très moyen en qualité (jus orange fluo, fromage et jambon peu qualitatif) , la wifi est aléatoire et la douche est tiède, voir froide.
Santa Maria est sans danger pour des promeneurs de jour comme de nuit. L'hôtel à 2 pas du centre où l'on trouve bars et restos. J'y retournerai volontiers.
Enkelt, men absolut inte simpelt, hotell med vänlig och trevlig personal. Rummet jag hade höll god standard, rent och snyggt. Allt funkade som det ska. Tog max 5 minuter att gå till stranden. Rekommenderas. Personligen tyckte jag det var skönt att det inte låg mitt bland alla andra stora hotellkedjor utan mer som i ett bostadsområde.
came in late at night from the airport and had to wake up staff. However, welcome was very friendly. The room was spacious, tidy, everything worked fine. Breakfast is not overwhelming, but totally sufficient. Staff is interested, open-minded, helpful, friendly.
Porta do Vento: très confortable, propre et surtout, calme!
A 5-10 minutes à pieds de la plage (5 petits pâtés de maisons), cet hôtel n'est pas au centre de Santa Maria mais c'est son avantage: à la fois très proche du centre et très CALME, ce qui est appréciable. Le service est parfait, très sympathique, les lits sont fermes mais confortables, l'eau est bien chaude, le tout est d'une propreté irréprochable, et la propriétaire fait tout pour que son hôtel soit au top. Seul (petit) bémol: les petits déjeuners sont un peu répétitifs - mais on peut commander autre chose si on veut.
Au total, excellent endroit pour profiter de Santa Maria!

Greit og hyggelig hotell
Beliggende litt i utkant av sentrum men i retning Kite Beach var dette et helt greit alternativ de 2 nettene vi ventet på å reise videre. Hyggelig betjening og helt grei frokost.
Om en skal være i Santa Maria en uke eller lengre ville jeg nok sett litt nærmere på resort alterntivene med pool helt nede på stranden i Santa Maria.....
Når en reiser til Kap Verde er det ikke for å bo på hotell, uansett hvilken priskalsse det er.
Jeg bruker hotellet til å spise frokost, personlig hygeiene og sove.
På Porta do Vento er disse faktorene tilfredsstillende.
I forhold til stranden får man en liten spasertur. Av henig av hvilken del av stranden mann vil være på, er det fra 500 meter til 2 kilometer.
Hotellet hadde ikke luftkjølingsanlegg.
