This is a good hotel close to a beach and a number of restaurants and a mall. The room was comfortable, large, clean and with a great view. Breakfast was good and the hotel staff was professional and friendly. Suggestion for improvement: It would be good to have more towels in the room.

Stayed for 2 nights in this hotel. I had everything that e needed in the room, and bed was really confortable.
The best part was the pool and the staff that works there. I do recommenIt's close to restaurants and a beautiful beach nearby.
Recently stayed here for two nights. A/C very poor and room small. I would give this hotel 2-3 stars being generous. Stayed in Cape Verde before and don’t expect much but when advertising a 4 star hotel is expect better. No mini bar either. AVOID!
I gave high ratings only because of the service
The rooms were average for price charged
The showers had Low pressure and warm water took ages to arrive
The toilet door was heavy noisy and clunky
Housekeeping was spotty - we get 1 towel even though there’s 2 of us in the room and no refill of bath gel
Aircon was really hot even though we put at 18 degrees
Breakfast was the same for 3 days - mushrooms, baked beans, bacon etc
But the service was awesome
Friendly attentive and smiley all around
Rooftop pool was nice.
Good location next to the shopping mall and beach
My wife and I are celebrating 21 years of marriage. We are at the VIP Praia Hotel. Just finished breakfast and we had a wonderful one. There is no way someone could be critical of it, unless it is a setup! Omelet is made upon request. All kind of fruits (from the local bananas to pear, apples, grapes, papaya, pineapple, peach, kiwi, more than a dozen kind of fruit!!!)
The gorgeous view is second to none, the place is CLEAN, neat and modern. Let me put this way: I got a room for a friend that does missionary work here, for one night. After a few hours at the hotel, his request: "if you let me stay another night here, I will stay doing my work for another 2 years!" The place for sure is awesome, the best gym in the city with an ocean view, great perks like 50% discount on the local cinema, name it, VIP Praia Hotel has to offer and that made my wife and I, as well our 3 teenager children, very happy to be here and celebrate this especial date for us!!! Looking forward to come back...
Absolutely terrible! If there was a way to give negative stars this place would earn them, where to start.....
- Breakfast starts at 0630, it is never ready and the selection is questionable. The food is old or from the night before and all of the liquids are warm. Use a refrigerator!
- Beds are more like box springs and not mattresses.
- Showers “open concept” is a huge fail! If someone opens the door to the room there you are showering in front of everyone.
- Customer service throughout the hotel is the worst I have ever experienced. Most just look at you and nod and tell you ok but nothing is ever taken care of and you have to follow up constantly until you get something close to what you ask for.
- Just because it’s close to “shopping” don’t take the bait! This means it’s much more loud at night. The small restaurants play music very loud until 10-11pm most nights so if you value quietness don’t come here.
Overall there is really no redeeming values to this hotel. Very much in the top 3 of most horrible hotels I have stayed in throughout my travels around the world.
