    The best place to stay in Santa Maria, in the center but on the beach, in front of the sea but inside the busiest road :)

    Sofa in living room wasn’t very comfortable. Was very hard to sit on. Also floor between bedroom and mezzanine floor bedroom was thin. Could do with insulating to reduce the noise between the rooms.

    Location was spot on. Loved the roof terrace, after a day on the beach, was amazing to have this space to watch the sunset and the views were stunning! Also very well equipped for self catering. Kitchen had everything we needed. The local security guards who patrol the streets at night, made us feel extra safe and even brought our swimwear inside the building one evening to keep them safe. Amazing, friendly guys!!

    The double bed is overused and caves in, so not good for people with back pain. Expect a hidden 3% charge if you want to pay by card.

    Location is great.

    Unfortunately I knocked the rating down because the nightclub boom boom and bass is heard from 10pm until 4am. On the Saturday the beach bar next door had the football on loud and the men watching drinking were loud. Both took away the peace and quiet beach front vibe. When I stayed at the Hilton 800m west just out the centre along the beach last time I couldn't hear the nightlife.

    Superb location 50m walk into the sea, great view with dawn left and dusk right, comfy mattresses, very low beds, felt safe and friendly staff.

    We had to travel home🥳

    I fall in love with this Villa, and the location rigth on the beach. Book room on the beachside, its worth every penny! We had the top floor, it was amazing! This Villa is rigth in centrum with every thing close by! The Villa have security guards on both side of the house, so them thiefs dont have a chance! Super safe! You walk in your bikini, and 2 meters outside you touch the beach sand under your feet! I fall in love with Capo Verde and this place🙏 ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

    The appartments we rented were with ocean view, really spaceous and clean. Every night there are security people working and so we could leave our laundry outside to dry. Since the appartments are RIGHT by the beach you could come and go to the beach any time - day and night. Activities like snorkeling, kite surfing, diving and so on you can book anywhere in walking range. There are countless seafood restaurants nearby, rooftop bars as well. We highly recommend this place! The staff was really nice and helpful. We booked an extra late checkout without any problems. Five stars from us and very well deserved!

    Villa ao Mar is the best location you will find in Santa Maria. It worths a visit to the island. Right on the beach, you will find everything you need. The host is simply great and useful.
