We have just returned from a second trip to Cape Verde and to this hotel. Things to accept. There are not so many choices in Praia. Here's what you get: a decent size room, a great looking relaxation area around a sea-water pool, a relaxed environment, decent but not great food, friendly but ineffective staff. Here's what you don't get:... More

You are going to be disappointed. No matter how low, lower them at least a couple of notches. After all, this is a third-world country. Even so, I was disappointed. Again and again. Where do I start? How about the air conditioning? My room was a "suite," which means it was a bit larger than the average room. It also... More

There is not much choice in the upper bracket in Praia, hence the proportionnaly heavy price tag. However, the hotel is quite nice, with good setup around the pool, pleasant staff, cool bar and decent breakfast. Only small drawback is the bathrooms, quite well-worn (tough clean). More

It is clean, the staff are lovely and helpful. The rooms have everything you need, however, people should bear in mind that a 4* in Africa is different to a 4* in Europe or Asia. It is more like a 3*. Having said that I heard that it is the best hotel in the city of Praia. More

We had to stay in the above mentioned hotel as our Business Partner made the booking. Internet Access was a lucky draw. Wwhenever we requested to speak to the management, we were told: Not available, mobile phone off and so on. Above all the rooms were clean, staff tried to be helpful - unfortunately left alone. However F&B was quite... More

I choosed this hotel because a colleague reccommend it. During my arrival I was gladly surprised about the facilities, namely the nice location and the swimming pool as well. Unfortunately I wasn't able to use the pool because it was too crowded. In addition I had a very noisy neighbour who didn't let me rest at night time! My reaction... More

Nice oasis to relax after visiting the town or the island. Large convenient room with large bathroom. Windows allows to get a natural breeth in the bedroom so we could sleep without AC. The area is quiet at night and for breakfast you find a buffet which is quite exceptional for Cabo Verde. Restaurant offers good local food. It's a... More

I stayed for over 10 days in the Pestana Tropico. Almost all rooms have views to the pool. The bathroom has a small higher window with sea view (I needed to stand on a bench to see it). Decoration is a bit outdated but ok. I tried to get a room with a double bed or just one single, those... More

I spent one night here and was presently surprised by the overall quality and feel of the hotel. The staff told me it’s recently been renovated and they claim its one of the best 4 star hotels in Cidade da Praia on Santiago Island. It’s located on a small hilltop overlooking the ocean and several ships were close in at... More
