Family Hotels & Resorts in Sal from AU$242

" The exterior of the hotel is beautiful, but the rooms are low quality. Very old decor with bits of the wall & ceiling filled in with filler. The air conditioning didn't work. There were exposed wires. Rusty handles. Bathroom shower water temperature was irregular. Bedsheets were old, unironed and they weren't changed regularly. Swimming pool isn't cleaned and hotel guests rarely go in the pool. We had to sometimes ask for towels. The manager says the rooms are fully booked and say they can change the next day, but it didn't happen. This was the same opinion of another guest. Hotel staff are generally nice. The breakfast is decent. The dinner is also good. The hotel food overall is good quality. Santa Maria is around 15 mins walk from the hotel. The road to the hotel is sandy. The environment around the hotel is like a building site. Santa Maria beach is 20-25 minutes walk."

"I think this resort is a bit overrated. It was obviously nice, it's a 5-star Hilton. But things were ridiculously overpriced. One mojito costs around €15! The breakfast was really amazing, so we thought we would try the buffet dinner, but it was pretty terrible, so would not recommend. Finally, oddly our room had loads of flies. It was reallt really strange. At one point i was lookong around the bathroom and spotted 27 little flies! It wasn't terrible and they were more like little moths, not sure exactly, but anyway it was strange. So overall for the prive you're paying (minimum €375/night I think), it's not really worth it."

"Very tired and needed a good clean or better still a remodel. Food was poor. Pool was nice. TV was very limited. Room was cold."

"Room was nice and the view was great! The overall ambience of the resort was nice. The food was not great, but we only had breakfast there so it was not so bad. Staff were very friendly and the location was great!"

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

"Very friendly and helpful staff and kept rooms and everywhere very clean. So much choice at breakfast. A great stay 2 minutes to the beach and easy walk in Santa Maria. "

"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. "

"AVOID. the food was absolutely disgusting every day. You won’t get a spot by the pool. Nothing great here. When you’re from the country and see corporations bringing awful hotel here I should’ve known. "

"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. "
