Offering a restaurant, Sal Beach Club is located by the seafront, in Santa Maria. Free Wi-Fi access is available in this resort.

The accommodation will provide you with air conditioning and a terrace. Private bathrooms also come with a bath or shower. Extras include a desk.

One of the best stays in Sal!! Unbeatable view!! The deck overlooks the beach and allows for a sunset observation through the palms :) As for the apartment, the wifi was stable and strong, and the AC in the bedroom was great :) We loved how easy it was to get around; walk down the stairs and you're at the beach or on the main shopping street! It was surprisingly quiet for being in such a central spot! The bed was totally comfy and a classic Cape Verde spring mattress. There was another small twin bed in the living room which was a lot more springy, but still ok for sleeping. But by far the value for the that view and location is untouchable. The kitchen at the restaurant downstairs let us use plates and forks for cooking in the apt :) Shower was warm with good water pressure.

    Boutique hotel, reasonably priced, locally run, on edge of Santa Maria but easy walk to town centre. Close to beach. Quiet and relaxed. Food in the evening excellent. Warm and friendly staff, very helpful. Room was large, simply furnished with local touches, very comfortable. Clean and pleasant. Pool never too busy. Overall, as a couple without children, so much nicer than being in a huge anonymous resort that sends profits overseas!

    We liked being on the side of town away from the big hotels / resorts in an authentic Cabo Verde neighbourhood, with many good restaurants with walking distance (and a convenient supplies store across the road)

    This is a very good place to stay on Sal. If you want to live in the town or don't want to do the all inclusive resorts. The quality of the accommodation and the helpfulness of the staff are both outstanding, Staff were very helpful and booked taxi transports and day trips efficiently without drama. The room was large, airy and bright, it had a kettle, toasty machine, fridge, a safe and netflix on a large screen tv. shower was large and there was loads of hot water at all times.

    We traveled with 2 little kids and they really enjoyed the kids activities, playground and the kids pool. Huge resort but still not crowded. People were extremely nice. The all inclusive meals were quite diverse and good.

    It was private apartment in the resort, so we didn't go with all inclusive option, which was a good idea as we tried the food in the resort and it was hit and miss. As for the apartment itself, you could not ask for more. Big bedrooms, big living room, very close to the pools and very close the beach itself.

    The best location possible : one minute from the beach , one minute from the nightlife/ restaurants ( and still super quiet after midnight ) Very comfortable and big apartment : much better than any hotel room. Great cafe / restaurant downstairs with breakfast included in the price. Very friendly and helpful staff ( ask for Alex if you need a local guide ) . Perfect place for holidays and far away from all-inclusive resorts . 100% recommended .

    BCV Private Apartments on Tortuga Beach Resort: our apartment was lovely, spacious, airy, nice balcony with a slim view of the pool. It was a lovely place to relax, the resort pools and facilities were lovely, as was the location with the beach and just a short shuttle bus ride or 4 Euro Taxi ride to Santa Maria. All staff were super friendly and helpful.

    Good beach resort, very close to the main street of Santa Maria. Friendly staff, and the hotel is spotless clean. Great breakfast buffet at a nice breakfast area. Great beach club as well, with a bar and restaurant, right on a beach with crystal clear waters and fine white sand. The rooms are big and quiet, clean, and with good showers and excellent bedding!
