"Amazing place, amazing peoples."

"We absolutely loved our stay at Pestana Tropico. The best thing about the hotel is the feeling of being in a family hotel, with staff who are attentive to detail. I would like to thank the staff at the reception, at the bar, restaurant, and the staff cleaning the rooms - they were absolutely lovely and very helpful! Great hotel! "

"Comfortable bed. Good breakfast, gym 1/2 of the equipment is out of order. Nice pool area, but under maintenance "

"My stay in Praia was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel genuinely welcomed—professional, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The hotel itself was spotless and well-maintained. My room was spacious, comfortable, and offered beautiful views that made every morning feel special. The bed was extremely comfortable, and everything—from the air conditioning to the Wi-Fi—worked perfectly throughout my stay. One of the highlights was the location. Being in Praia, I had easy access to key areas, restaurants, and the beach, which made exploring the city very convenient. The food was also impressive, with a great variety of options and consistently high quality. Breakfast each morning was fresh and satisfying, setting the tone for the day. What truly stood out, though, was the level of service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed, making my experience both relaxing and memorable. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Praia and would not hesitate to stay here again. A top-tier experience from start to finish."

"The hotel has nice views, but the bathrooms need renovation. The shower is not working properly, and the hall bathroom needs renovation. The food there isn't that good, especially the steak. They don't have an iron in the room they charge you for ironing your clothes.the pool for me needs two more stairs holding."

"Nice, CV owned property with hot water and pleasant staff."

"All the way only ran the AC during the evening hours We exceeded our limit within 5 days of our two week stay. Musa who was our contact with a property was awesome and very responsive. The check-in process was difficult as we did not have an address to go to from the airport and had trouble reaching the host for directions. The pictures are true to the condo. For three of us we were only given three towels for the entire 2 weeks. All things considered I think it was priced correctly. If you stay here I recommend renting a car because it's not walking distance to anything and taxis are hard to get and when you do get them they try to rob you by giving you the gringo price. It's been over 2 weeks and I still have not been informed of my security deposit return and any money that may have been taking out of my security deposit. Once again can't say enough about Musa who was very helpful to us."
