    Nice hotel in a small fishing village close to the airport. Perfect in the beginning and at the end of the trip. Very friendly staff.

    -very warm, no air conditioning -no window, you have to open the balcony door for fresh air (you don't like doing that at night) -no wifi in the rooms -no furniture on the balcony -Roof terrace available: but no furniture here either We were wondering why there is no furniture outside -There isn't much going on in the village, its very small... when we were there (Monday) only one restaurant was open. No supermarket -during the day: loud because there is a school next door - at night: loud because many dogs bark all night long. That was annoying. There are a lot of street dogs A day trip would certainly have been enough

    -Beautiful Design Hotel - clean and nice style -Long beach, good for walks or chill (no Beach Club, just beach) -Turtle snorkeling is an experience (you should book in the hotel, its cheaper than in the turtle house) -The staff on site was nice, we were able to check in sooner - good shower

    A pool or a small playground or toys for children.

    I need to know who did the interior design and the architect of this place! Stunning. The breakfast was beautiful as well, the setup felt very personalized and everything felt intentional. My daughter- 4 years old even complimented on how beautiful the breakfast was and how delicious it was. I tried to replicate it at home. The staff was the best staff I ever encountered as a frequent traveler.

    The room had ventilation, but no aircondition - to be expected in an eco hotel, but it made the nights quite warm. Also, the area around is reallife Cabo Verde, so you also see poor people and more residential areas (we liked to see the true daily life though). I would only stay one or two nights for turtle spotting especially.

    Supercool, industrial design while being eco. We had the room at the very top with a great balcony! Sat there in the evening and watched as night fell onto Sao Pedro and its people. Also super close to the beach, where we had dinner at a beach bar. It seems to be the best turtle spotting area just 100m from shore, and you can easily book a snorkling trip. Breakfast was also surprisingly great, with jams, joghurts, fruits, etc. We only stayed on evening/night, as we were bound for the airport.

    There are two buildings being constructed between the hotel and the beach which interfers with in all others says perfect view of the beach.

    The suite is beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. The staff is superfriendly and good breakfast. They arrange swimming with turtles for 15 euro. Watching the coulors of the ocean AT sunrise is incredibly beautiful. It is situated close enough to Mindelo to be able to go out at night and catch a taxi back,

    Sao Pedro is very small so once you've tried the 4 restaurants there, you will need to take a cab (10eur) or a local bus (1eur) to Mindelo. The beach is often windy, can be tricky to sunbath.

    Nice white wooden rooms, decent size. The hotel is quiet and located in the center of Sao Pedro village, 3min walk from the beach. The breakfast was fresh and good. Staff is available and helpful with recommendations.

    WiFi only works on the first floor next to the reception. Breakfast was a bit too simple (eggs, bread, jam/butter, couple of slices of cheese and bananas/papaya), my boyfriend wasn’t really full after it. Also noise cancelling was quite bad, which is both good and bad. Good - because you can hear the ocean, bad - because you can hear all the dogs, cats, kids, which makes it difficult to fall asleep.

    The hotel is located right next to the Sao Pedro beach, the beach itself is beautiful. You can enjoy swimming with the turtles or a hike to the lighthouse from there. Also it takes only 15 minutes to get from the village to the Mindelo with the bus. The design of the hotel is very simple, yet modern and stylish. Stuff is very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Steven 😉

    The location. I booked the hotel as it is close to the airport, but taxis had to come from Mindelo to pick me up, meaning the price and time taken was just the same or more as travelling to the airport from central Mindelo. Two things mentioned by previous travellers - it would be helpful if I received a key to get into the hotel (on one occasion I was waiting outside for 20 minutes calling the reception and banging on the door before a fellow traveller let me in). And having a bracket to hold the shower head would be handy.

    Love the design of the place. The shower is great, and the room is spacious, the bed comfortable. Stephen was the only receptionist to speak English during my week in Cape Verde, which was very helpful.

    We had a great stay in the Suite at the top floor with a superb view. At night you can leave the balcony door open and sleep with a gentle ocean breeze and the sound of the waves. Slept really well. A more basic type of hotel with is it's charme. Location is perfect, just a few metres from the beach and restaurants. Very clean rooms and nice local breakfast. Staff is super friendly and Stiven from the reception can help with anything.

    The guys from the reception are extraordinary! They gave us all the information we needed and helped us arrange anything. From snorkling with turtles to the transportation to the airport. Also the hotel is nice and clean. The room on the top of the building had an awesome view of the sea and beach! Would reccomend, 10/10!

    There is no wifi in the rooms, only at the common area downstairs. Also, breakfast is rather basic...

    Great cool hotel in San Pedro, 50m away from the beach. I stayed in the suite with sea view for a discounted price (75 euro), and this was really magnificent. Sleep with the terrace door open and fall asleep with the sound of the ocean, lovely. I wouldn't recommend it for a longer stay, because there's not much going on in San Pedro, other then walking on the magnificent beach, or take a dive with the sea turtles, that are swimming around about 100m away from the shore. There are 2 restaurants/bars on the beach were you can eat and drink well.
