Our sea view room on 3rd floor was very spacious and clean. The bed was really comfortable and very big. The staff in the rooftop bar ( which is where breakfast is served) we're really friendly & helpful. In particular Kevin was always cheerful and ready to help).The hotel is situated right in the middle of Santa Maria with numerous bars, restaurants and shops on the doorstep. The beautiful beach was a short 5-10 minute walk away. Sunbeds and shades can be rented at 10 Euros for 2 people.

The Ocean Suites was such a delight to stay at. The staff were amazing and friendly. The entertainment was varied with diffent genre's of music on most nights.
The food options were good and competitively priced and off excellent quality.
I stayed in the Santa Maria suite which was beautifully decorated in local culture themes, ornaments and pictures.

The best things about Santa Maria were the friendly local and the beautiful in crowded beaches.
The only things that weren’t great was the 2 hours it took to get through passport control at the airport and that not everything in our hotel was working properly

Very nice town, beautiful, clean.
Very nice town, beautiful, clean. A lot of restaurants and nice bars. Go to restaurants that´s not on the mainstreet and you will find the best food and the best prices, for exampla "Camara Camara", they had the best tuna and other fish. Bom Petisck is good. Bar restaurante Bia has very good grilled meat, great red wine and very nice service.
Buddy bar has nice drinks and so do Brazil that's right down on the beach.
Visit the town/village Palmeira, it's adorable and go to Salinas, the salt lakes. It's very easy to find taxi.

The Antigo apts are located in a little oasis of beautifully landscaped gardens beside the beach, in my opinion the very best part of Santa Maria. There is a covered market to where fruit and veg can be bought. We only used the cafe attached to the apts & Sal Beach Bar, where food was good. There are more several bars with music but I can't comment as we didn't use them. Not much else in Santa Maria - Sal Island isn't very affluent

We loved the weather and sandy beaches.
What we liked:
We loved the weather and sandy beaches. It was hot however with the constant breeze it was just right.
The hotel is located literally at the beach which is a really good thing.
Marley Bar at the resort is a must visit to chill, drink and eat.
Taxis from the resorts to Santa Maria are about 6 euros and my suggestion is to stick with the one and the same taxi driver as we did with our many trips to Santa Maria. Taxi drivers all operate on whatsapp and if you got the ride you liked then stick with it. It pays off when you're go shopping for fish as the driver will walk with you and you won't be "constantly bothered with buying some souvenirs" from other locals.
If you're one to get to see the Sal Island go and choose GUS travel.
They're very knowledgeable and nothing is a bother when they show you the island.
On the less good side:
Food in the hotel was hit and miss and in our view the locals should focus on what Cape Verde has best to offer which is fish, fish and fish and ditch the European food. Luckily we did not go all inclusive so we have many more options.
Mosquitoes are really annoying and nothing repels them, so take a mosquitoes net with you
If are in Santa Maria 1st time, do not get overwhelmed by all the locals trying to sell you something, after all they make a living from selling things to tourists.
And lastly travel insurance is a must. The healthcare is accessible for all but hospital miss even basic stuff. If you require special medicines if you get sick, best is if you could take them with you, otherwise you might need to cut short you holiday and get the travel insurance to get you back home early.

The beaches are beautiful but it's impossible to walk the streets without being literally harrassed by owners of shops trying to sell you something. I understand that they're trying to make a living, but insisting that you "just" take a look at their shop, trying to call you back to their shop, literally shouting to you at the streets to "stop" and to "wait" is just unacceptable. While I was walking on the streest, I didn't spend a single minute without being approached and harrassed by someone.
They say "Cabo Verde, No Stress" but they pressure and attack you in such a form that you end up not buying anything, even if your intention was to buy something in the beginning. I'm from Turkey where we have a similar "seller approaching you" culture, and I've been to Morocco and Tunisia as well where similar stuff happens, but this was just too much for me.
From what I understand, these are generally foreigners who come to Sal to sell stuff, the pure locals of this place are much frendlier and calmer in general.
If it weren't for this people, I'd like to have stayed more, or I'd probably even return someday, but just because of this behavoir I'll never return to Santa María. If you want a calmer (and much more beautiful) place, just go Tarrafal on Santiago island.

Visit some of the other islands of Capo Verde. It's easy to take a flight to an other place and have a nice holiday. It's much more green at Sao Vicente and Sao Antao.

Very close to the center of Santa Maria and the pier.

Perfect appartment, close to everyting, host responded to all our queries/needs, exceeding what is to be expected. We had delays on our flight and Rod was extremely helpful in helping us finding a way to get to the flat. And we had no troubles from noisy neighbourhood. But you should remember you are staying in the heart of Santa Maria. Beautiful Rooftop terrace!
The hotel looks new and in very good condition. Very clean. The staff is great, friendly, willing to help and talk, especially at the reception and cleaning workers. The staff speak different languages.. The room was big and beding very comfortable. Hot water , swimingp pool, gym, AC, and TV 👌
Location is 10mn to the center of Santa Maria and 15mn to the beach .
Very nice place with amazing sea view , well located in Santa Maria .
Clean and peaceful.
The owner Robert is chill and caring and discreet,
he knows the island pretty well so he can advise you an give you a lot of good tips.
It would be perfect if they could add shower soap and shampoo and an iron for your clothes.
I will definitely be back again!
we came here without any expectatuons and were surprused - in a good way. The hotel is in the center few steps away from the main pedestrian street, few steps away from the beach(s). All the staff is very helpful, kind willing to give you advice if one is needed. Breakfast is good, room was pleasant. I liked it.
very nice apartments, recently renovated with all the necessary comfort. the panoramic swimming pool is really a plus (it’s shared with the building but it is easy to have it just for yourself as not very busy). greatly recommended for a stay in Santa Maria!
The position of the house was amazing, since it was near to Santa Maria center. The house is beach front, which is a big plus and it also has security at night, it was clean and had all the necessary tools. Marina is a lovely host, i recommend staying.
The hotel was so amazing, that we stayed twice! Loved the apartment we stayed in. It had a great view of the beach and the sea. Would definitely recommend, and will for sure stay again if we return to Cape Verde :)
Amazing location on the beach and close to Santa Maria. Full of charm and character.
Lots of space and great cooking facilities.
Marina was a great host, always happy to help and super welcoming
Perfect location! Just above the sea, in the center of Santa Maria. The room was absolutely amazing, clean, comfortable. The areas of the hotel are stunning and everyone is really nice.
A great choice, far more comfortable than a hotel, yet not overpriced. The host was really helpful and communicative, definitely the right way to see Sal!
