Rating: 5 Star Review: My wife and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the new rooftop penthouse with an enchanting oceanview in Santa Maria. From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for a truly magical experience. First and foremost, we would like to express our deepest gratitude towards the warmhearted and incredibly supportive owner, Mr. Robert. He went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was nothing short of exceptional. His vast knowledge of the city and his extensive connections truly make him the go-to person for all things Santa Maria. Whatever we needed, Mr. Robert was there to assist us, proving that he is indeed the man who knows everything and everyone in town. Thanks to Mr. Robert, we were introduced to the phenomenal Kiteschool "Surf Shop Cabo Verde." Our experience there was nothing short of fantastic. The professionalism of the instructors and their passion for kitesurfing were evident from the very beginning. Within just two days, my wife and I were able to kite almost independently, which was an absolute thrill. We are incredibly thankful to Mr. Robert for connecting us to this amazing kiteschool and making this experience possible. By the way, it is one of the best kiteschool in Santa Maria. Please book in advance. Not only did Mr. Robert provide us with an incredible kitesurfing adventure, but he also recommended the best restaurants in town. And believe us when we say he was spot on! Each and every dining experience was a culinary delight, leaving our taste buds in awe. Mr. Robert's knowledge of the local dining scene truly enhanced our stay, and we'd highly recommend following his recommendations for an unforgettable gastronomic journey. Now, let's talk about the penthouse. This place is simply the best with an incredible view. The moment we stepped onto the rooftop terrace, we were greeted by an awe-inspiring panorama of the ocean that left us speechless.

Set in Santa Maria and only 200 metres from Praia António Sousa, Ocean Roof offers accommodation with sea views, free WiFi and free private parking. With city views, this accommodation features a balcony and a swimming pool. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available.

We had a wonderful stay at the OceanRoof. The apartments are modern, very clean and superbly equipped - very important for us: the comfortable and clean bed. The hotel is also very quiet and ideally located for us, right by the beach and also by AnguloBeach for water sports. JC is a really attentive host who was always helpful with many bookings such as car rental, taxi and restaurant tips. An absolute recommendation for a stay on Sal!

    It was clean, comfortable, pretty, classy, not fancy. A short walk from the beach, but near by houses, stores and restaurants of locals, which makes it a very authentic and enjoyable experience. We also stayed at other places closer to the beach, with views and pools, but with a very touristic and artificial environment. Breakfast was simple but good, serving omeletes and different style eggs on demand. Great value for money!!

    Andrea is a great host! It’s a small hostel and people tend to stay longer than a week so you’ll get to know everyone during your stay, which adds to a great vibe. Further, the location is superb and supermarkets, restaurants and beach are all within a two minute walk. Would definitely stay here again :) PS: the hostel actually looks better in person compared to the photos!

    Very nice location in the center of santa maria. Near the beach but not in the more touristic resort area, closer to the locals in a nice way.

    Andrea is a great host. He makes you feel at home right from the beginning. I enjoyed the food and drinks for the new year party. Clean and tidy dorms. WiFi is strong. The toilets are clean too. Walkable distance to the taxi station to go to espargos and airport. 2mins walking to the beach.

    The hostel is very close to the beach, in a quiet area. The common areas are spatious and pleasant, there is an internal patio with plants, sunlight and fresh ocean breeze. Andrea is a great host, always friendly, available and ready to help. You can book all kinds of tours and activities directly from the hostel.
