Barlavento Islands Vacation Packages

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.

Wish there was a 3.5 rating to give - but right that given 3 rather than 4. It was a nice resort, really nice, but compared to other 5 stars previously, not quite worth the price tag. Maybe expecting too much from beech resort 5 star but don't think so.

Trevligt poolområde och bra frukost. Trevlig personal, men lite enformig middag på kvällen.

Staff, cleaning and location was brilliant.

We had a great stay at this clean and modern apartment. The location was perfect, close to everything we needed. The bottle of water on arrival was a lovely touch. The staff and the owner were very friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. We will definitely stay again!

This is a SMOKER'S RESORT and is NOT ALL INCLUSIVE. Smoking is allowed in public outdoor spaces...the pools, the beach, the bars, patios and balconies. You can't go anywhere without breathing second hand smoke. We couldn't enjoy the evening events because of it, and I couldn't walk to the gym without breathing smoke from people smoking on their balconies. Also, this resort has their own version of "All Inclusive", which is not all inclusive at all. Only about 10% of the alcohol, the cheap stuff, is included. Even some of the non-alcoholic cocktails are not included. The specialty restaurants are not included. There are no minibars or anything in the room refrigerators. The A/C in our room never got below 27 degrees C. The gym was well equipped but the A/C doesn't blow and the cardio equipment is up against the south facing floor to ceiling windows, which had a great view, but made it like working out in a sauna. The humidity was unbearable. The bed and bedding were very comfortable and the housekeeping staff did a wonderful job. The groundskeeping and security staff were also stellar. The food was amazing. Dinner wasn't available until 7:30 pm, however, which is late and there was always an anxious line to get in and get a seat by that time. The beach and location were good, other than the smoking. We never worried about our safety or our stuff. Felt comfortable leaving our bags, etc at the pool, dining area and beach.

The studio apartment was located in a nice area and the host was helpful with check in. However, the apartment is extremely hot, with just one little fan in there. When we got there the shower was clogged, not a great start after a long flight. The owner did send maintenance to fix it. Then the WiFi did not work most of the time. Overall, it was just uncomfortable and we ended up leaving after 2 days
