Santa Maria Vacation Packages

We had an amazing stay at the Branco Suites! The people working there were incredibly friendly and so helpful too! The apartment was just perfect! The bed was very comfortable and the the pillows were the best ones I have ever slept on!! It was very quiet there and also just a couple of minutes walk to the beach!! and all the restaurants and shops. I would highly recommend staying at this place! Thank you! Xx

The rooms were very nice. We enjoyed lots of options for the meals and several locations to choose from. Gym and spa were great. Loved the pools and activities!

A nice and vibrant environment, Lovely staff and fantastic customer service. The grounds are beautiful and spacious. Food was great...the salad, shrimps and fruit made me ill so i will avoid eating those foods on the cape verde island not just at the Riu. Next time i will book directly with Riu hotels online instead of through expedia. As Expedia charged my account and then said I had cancelled the booking. I was charged in addition to paying at the riu property on arrival. There was no cancellation i thorougly enjoyed my stay. So this was disappointing to know expedia had done this. Then sent a cancellation email as a resolution 3 days after i highlighted the addition payment it to them.

Absolutely fabulous resort. A must stay with very friendly and welcoming staff, clean and well maintained facilities, plenty of food options beautiful beaches and lots of activities to keep you busy. 10 out of 10 👍😊

The rooms were very clean and the beds very comfortable. There is a nice walk along the promenade to Santa Maria which takes about 10-15 minutes. The staff are very friendly and work tirelessly entertaining the guests. The food is tasty and presented nicely. I'd definitely recommend the cocktails

The property is new and beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful. but they have serious problems. There was no running water at all on 3 of 4 nights I stayed there and on 2 out of 4 afternoons. It was on and off the rest of the time. And not just my room but in restrooms by the restaurant etc. That may well be the lack of infrastructure on the very dry island that just doesn’t have enough water for everyone as opposed to the fault of the hotel itself but it is of course not what you expect at a 5 star hotel. It may not be a good idea to develop more tourism on the island. Other than that, my room wasn’t ready for check in before 5.30 which isn’t great. But they arranged a massage for me so it was fine.

Very comfortable and breakfasts great

We got #7, a huge suite! Comfortable bed, hot water, all very nice. Only downside is the bar playing music until midnight, but they did warn us via message in advance and the music was turned off right at midnight. Double windows would be a huge help with that. Otherwise, super friendly staff, great breakfasts, and right on the beach.
