The pool area is very relaxing with stunning sea views and easy access to the beach. The hotel is right in Sal centre nearby to the local restaurants and bars and is perfectly located for an evening stroll. The hotel staff are very friendly and helpful. The half board option was very good value; at the...

Rebecca and jay were amazing responded straight away to any queries. Apartment was equipped with everything we needed. Highly recommend and would stay again in a heart beat. "

"Well l would like AC in all the rooms in the apartment. Some apartment only had AC in the living room. Therefore making sleeping at night very uncomfortable. "

"Fint ophold. Der var lige lidt mangler ved ankomst men vi kontaktede udlejer og han kom inden for en time og fixede det hele. Selve resortet er super lækkert og smukt. Man bor nede i "bunden" væk fra stranden så man får hurtigt gået sine 10.000 skridt hvis man tøffer lidt rundt på hotellet. Vi har ikke været særlig begejstrede for selve resort-personalet i receptionen - de var svære at kommunikerer med. Men overall virkelig fint til prisen. Dejlig destination!"

"Perfect location. The apartment is in a secure conplex overlooking the pool and ocean.The top floor meant a great view and sun all day on the terrace. Plenty of space for two of us.A comfortable bed and lots of storage space.Yes you could hear the town in the evenings. The only night sleep was difficult was NYE. That would have been the case anywhere in Santa Maria!Good communication with Bob, the management company not so easy.A great trip - thank you!"

"Very basic beds uncomfortable lack of utensil for long stay."

"The melia resort is amazing, but the apartment is privately owned which lived up to this resorts standard. The apartment was spacious and had every amenity that was needed, along with a lovely welcome pack of essentials. It is situated in a great location, with the sun starting early on the left hand side of the balcony moving over to the right hand side, so sun for the full day. Definitely a place i will be coming back too. "

"The Apartment is a FAKE. I never get Infos about the Adress, Never get Keys. I had to cancel my vacation"

"Allt man kunde önska sig och mer därtill."

"Enjoyed it really much - nice reliable contract around stay - pick up organized - great infos on area and places around. Perfectly located closed to beach, diving school and town center. Magnificent view on beach and ocean."

"Clean, great communication prior to arrival, complex was quiet and set back from the beach which is good as not too windy."

"Perfect Review of a Two-Bedroom ApartmentI had an absolutely fantastic stay at this two-bedroom apartment! The highlight was the very spacious and beautiful balcony, which let in an abundance of sunlight throughout the day. The well-equipped kitchen had everything I needed, and the apartment offered a fantastic view that I enjoyed every morning.The amenities were excellent, including a washing machine and a ventilator, which made my stay even more comfortable. Mikky, the contact person from the...

"We were met at the airport and taken to our apartment. Really nice and airy, nicely decorated with good shower and comfortable bed and all the things you need to self cater. Brilliant double glazed window tilted so could be left open all day but when closed blocked out any noise. Right next to beach and with a nice garden with parasol to sit out in. Fruit/veg sellers came to just outside the apartment every morning and there is a brilliant bakery 10 minutes away and a stunning juice/snack...

"All was good and as expected/advertised, many thanks! "

5/5 Excellent

"Fint hotell om man, som vi, inte är så fortjusta i de där stora hotellkomplexen. Hotellet har 37 rum och ligger ungefär 15 min promenad från centrala Santa Maria. Vill man ta taxi kostar det 5 euro. Helt ok frukost och maten i hotellets restaurang var alltid god och vällagad. Ibland fick man vänta ganska länge på sin beställning och det blev vid några tillfällen lite fel och missförtånd. När vi anlände till hotellet fick vi besked om att det var överbokat och rummet vi bokat och betalt för fanns inte tillgängligt. Vi bodde de första två nätterna i ett rum som var helt ok, men som sagt inte alls vad vi tänkt (havsutsikt och terass). De sista fem nätterna blev vi dock uppgraderade till en av hotellets fantastiskt fina sviter. Så vi var mycket nöjda med hotellets sätt att lösa problemet. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal."

2/5 Poor

"I stayed here for one night before catching a flight to another island. At €100 per night – the most expensive rate I’ve paid on Cape Verde – it was a huge disappointment. As a Gold Member on Expedia, I was promised a bottle of sparkling wine, which was missing. Instead, my room came with a cockroach (photo attached). Maybe it drank the wine for me. The air conditioning didn’t work, the shower drain was clogged, and mosquitoes thrived in the stagnant water. Housekeeping seemed questionable too – the first thing I saw was a squished mosquito smeared on the wall. When I asked for another room, the night porter said the hotel was fully booked. For one night, it’s manageable, but for this price, you’d expect better. Breakfast was fine, though I never got my omelet after waiting 30 minutes. The cockroach, however, met its end and became a feast for ants by morning. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel – it’s way overpriced and feels too "eco-friendly" for comfort."

Check-in problems

"When we arrive at 2 o'clock in the morning we discovered that we had no room there,even if we had booked in April and we had to go to another Melia resort in the nearby. we were very disappointed also for the standard of the premises that it is not at all a 5-star hotel, as you can see from the picture. We had to argue all the time with the respinsables to have 2 roomkeys (not available we had just one ), to enter the spa and to reserve restaurants. Luckily all the ordinary staff was very kind and available to help and find solutions. The other Melia Dunas has more facilities than Tortuga and the beach is fantastic. Overall holiday was nice but for sure there is a lot to improve "

Incredible

"No words can describe how wonderful our experience was at this hotel after Murdeira Village resort cancelled our booking on arrival, Robinson Resort were so incredibly kind and helpful and treated us like royalty after a stressful experience we had and they went out of their way to accommodate to the situation we were in during the fully booked Christmas period and made our Christmas so memorable. Special thanks to Olessya and all the staff at the hotel for everything they did for us . Cannot recommend this hotel enough , the quality of the food , service and entertainment and standard of the rooms is incredible. Thank you "
