I had no lodge when I arrived to Tarrafal from Porto Mosquito and Cidade Velha. So, the usual move: look for a place with wifi to have a drink and look for options. I found a very interesting hotel by the sea in Tarrafal. But they had no availability in any of the OTAs they worked with and there seemed that hotel had not their own site. And of course I was not going to pay again the walk-in BAR. So I looked for another option. Two different OTAs recommended this one due to the location. The hotel promotes itself as having sea views. You could even see some photos portrating the beach on the OTAs sites. I really wanted to stay by the sea, but considering the lodge location on the map, it was quite obvious the hotel was not going to have the sea views they were using to lure you. 'Well' --I thought-- 'maybe I can see the sea... from a far distance'. And yes: I could see a thin blue line far on the horizon. But that was it. The hotel location is horrible. Dark at nights, in a non-paved road with literally nothing interesting around. No restaurants, bars, shops; nothing. If you don't have a car you are definitely not doing 0.5 miles (750 mts) on foot to get to downtown from there at night. --And reception closes at 10.30 pm, so forget about a taxi; your only choice is to stay around downtown till late and then cross your fingers hopping to find a taxi -- and I do not remember to see many of them around Tarrafal. I had some work to do. So, well, at least the hotel had wi-fi in all rooms. But no. Again a temporary problem which only allowed you to connect from the lobby. That's when I learned you don't have to expect for wi-fi while in Africa unless you are staying in an international branded hotel or similar. And then: breakfast. It was supposed to be served at 7 am. I had to wait till 7.30 to have breakfast the first day --about which I saw some reviews stating it was plentiful. 'Plentiful' is not exactly the word I would use to describe it. It was fine, better than in some other places I stayed while in Senegal, but never plentiful. Well, the story is I asked the lady who prepared the breakast to have a cup of coffee and a sandwich ready for 7 am the day after --I needed to be in the airport in Praia at 9 am. She said she would have something ready. And, guess what? As I think I was the only guest that day, she would not even bothered to open the dinnig room to prepare breakfast. All the doors closed --including reception, which opens at 8.00 am. Shameful. Rooms were at least ok --that's why I am not giving a worst rate to this place. Plenty of room, nice furniture and ok sleep. The rooms are in fact apartments --quite affordable, by the way. But this means you don't have your apartment done next morning. So, considering everything, I would never recommend this place to anyone going to Tarrafal. Never. P.S.: by the way: the Sofa is trendy but not cozy to relax a little bit and watch TV at the end of the day --too short I could not fit. Since this is an apartment, rooms are not equipped with TV. And the only TV available wasn't working. Only ONE channel available. Shameful.…

Ixola Hotel is a really strange place in Tarrafal. The apartments are dirty and the owner, I guess, is not very professional. I have the pleasure to met him few times around the Apart Hotel and he was very drunk. So you all could imagine the inconfortable situation with my two sons... No more words to add.
