Hotels near Amílcar Cabral Airport

Pros: The food, location and the kind staff

Cons: Poor wifi in the room

Pros: The location was in front of the magical beach of Santa Maria

Cons: The beds could be a little more comfortable for the price, and the staff a little more welcoming.

Pros: The room was comfortable and spacious the hotel has 3 swimming pools with clean wArm water And the facilities never feel crowded. Breakfast is excellent and as we were on bed and breakfast terms did Not use the main restaurant. Staff were friendly and well trained. The beach facilities were a few yards away with A beach bar loungers and a good lunch time restaurant. I should add that our visit was in October at an earlier Visit in April I found the water not particularly warm. Santa Maria with its shops and restaurants is only a few minutes walk from the hotel.

Cons: Can’t find much criticism but you need to be aware that the island is virtually a desert so everything is brought In apart from the excellent fresh fish landed daily at the pier. The island is also very windy

Pros: Everything amazing! Great for families with kids.

Pros: The location is great! The food is amazing! Staff are friendly. Value for money for the all inclusive.

Cons: The check process was very very very long! The cats in the hotel was rather annoying and irritating. The music from the club on the beach will keep you up ALL night, very irritating and frustrating. The hotel should really let staff know.

Pros: Great location, safe place to stay alone

Cons: The staff were not so friendly, ok much to do but getting some coffee from a bar without a smile. All restaurants in the hotel the same thing.

Pros: The Food is fantastic.

Pros: Great rooms. Contemporary. Clean. Friendly reception and entertainment staff. Great location. Good food.

Cons: Hotel at capacity this February. Not enough sun loungers, nor space for those in place. Queues for drinks as staff overwhelmed by demand. Dining areas very busy and cramped. Food good, but hard to enjoy it in a noisy dining room with constant traffic squeezing past tables.

Pros: The hotel is awesome, I've stayed there many times before. The food is okay, the place is great. The beach is just a minute walk from the hotel and can't put into words how much I love it.

Cons: I really did not like the way the reception handled our check-in and how they treated us. I was at another hotel earlier in the week and had my sister with me since she decided to come with us at the last minute, we asked if she could check in with us and it was no problem, we paid the extra fee for her nights and it was all good. When we came to Oasis Belorizonte they acted like it was the end of the world, as i if we wanted to cheat or something, it was so wierd. Just add one person to the room and that's it. But no they didn't make us feel welcome at all,as if they wanted us out because they could not understad why we would want to add a person, add one more night and what not. I'ts not that complicated, just check us in and check us out.

Pros: Everything but food and entertainment could be better

Cons: Food

Pros: Food was good and wide ranged. Lot of choices. Staff was friendly and helpful! Their coffee is so good. My phone was found back after forgetting it somewhere in the hotel. I was happy to find out that their people are honest. It is also safe place. Santa Maria downtown is on walking distance. Weather in March was great. I like the no stress, chill mentality.

Cons: This is for the colored people so you can be prepared mentally. We were the exception on the white tourism that Cape verde/Sal draws. We've been stared at and whispered about a lot. Even looked down on. I almost forgot that I was in Africa. Since they strengthen eachother in their narrow ways, we were always in disadvantage. We never insulted anyone back and just left the negativity to itsself. You can chill in Santa Maria downtown where the vibe is much more positive. Some white people tend to feel superior wherever they go, yes even when on another continent. They still feel like everyone should meet up to their standards. It is impossible for them to adjust to another culture/country. If you are or act different from what they know they feel like they have the right to be disrespectful towards you. These kind of people should stay home since they are so happy and proud about it. Don't visit other countries if you're only going to look down on everyone. Stay in your white sun. Maybe I just met the wrong people.

Pros: Excellent location, beachfront but at the same time very close to the small town of St Maria.

Cons: I wish that the breakfast was a litle better specially when it comes to fresh fruit. The fresh fruit available wasnt allways in proper condition to eat. They shouldnt allow cats inside the brestaurant. The room and bathroon are a bit small.

Pros: The location of the hotel is really good with proximity to Santa Maria Village where you'll find shops and restaurants. The food in the buffet is of great variety and taste. My family and I were very happy with the food served. Staff was awesome. Very helpful and always cheerful.

Cons: Wifi was not reliable. It didn't work in our room but it was fine in common areas. Unfortunately our room was below another one and we could hear every step from our neighbors (with or without shoes) all the time. If you can chose, book a room without neighbors above you. The majority of the room buildings don't have 2 floors anyways so you should be fine.

Pros: Nice pool and beach

Cons: Loud music all the time, food was horrible we both had food stomach problems the hole time which where gone after we left, rooms are old, WiFi is horrible Spend more money or go to the city center much nicer hotels and good food the ocean is nice everywhere ;)

Pros: Everything is very clean and very well maintained., The room was spacious and lovely with a very comfortable bed. The staff was friendly and helpful. The area is peaceful. And it is an easy walk to the beach, just a few blocks.

Pros: Very nice breakfast, although every day the same food. The rooms cleaned daily, towels changed, all clean and nice. Beautiful, green patio (connected to terrace restaurant part) with the pool and on the 3rd floor jacuzzi, gym and sunbathing spot that the personnel doesnt mention! What i liked the most is that is mainly visited by adult or older people and there was no children running around and screaming, so it was possible to rest in a calm, peaceful atmosphere. Very good location and good price.

Cons: The coffe given with the breakfast was bad. The personnel was speaking english but not very good, however it was possible to communicate in a simple way. Toilet paper was too thin :(

Pros: They let me check in early and let me eat breakfast the day I checked in.

Cons: The people nearby were loud, and it was hard for me to sleep.

Pros: The Pontao Hotel is spotlessly clean, and the have very helpful staff. They also serve a great breakfast, and have a reasonably priced bar.

Cons: Shower wasn't working on arrival, but promptly fixed. The rooms at the front of the hotel are disturbed by the nightclub opposite. I know we stayed there on New Years Eve but the noise went on well past 5am

Pros: Everything, the location, the rooms are big and clean. The breakfast is good with nice fresh fruits and the staffs are friendly and responsive.

Pros: Simplicity. Cleanliness. Style.

Cons: Nothing at all

Pros: The Staffs were extremely attentive, supportive & hard working. The Shuttle buses are very helpful to make movement easy

Cons: The internet service should have been made free & strong everywhere. All tourists can't do without internet for communication purposes

Pros: The meal was great but the clubhouse had bird nest everywhere in the ceiling to the obvious glare of the visitors. we had birds flying in and out of the clubhouse where breakfast was served and it was quite disturbing.

Cons: I only fancied the space and expanse of the property other than that, their services were shitty. They required one to pay for the most basic items in an apartment including wifi, iron, cleaning items ( no kitchen sponge for doing dishes and when the cleaners come to clean, they don't even do the dishes) and all that and for this reason the reception was mostly packed with guests loitering around just so they can access the internet... it was even more irritating knowing that i had stayed at Melia resorts just adjacent this hotel where i had the most fun and didn't require me to pay for basic items. I will definitely never give referral to Aqua hotel

Pros: The resort it self, all of it's resources - As they have written they have everything and we liked that Cleaning everyday, they really did a job and we like the folded sheets on the bed Gilwan, the piccolo, is a huge plus for the hotel. Always smiling and friendly, he made us feel welcome and was all the time asking if we needed anything

Cons: One of the receptionists seriously need to be more friendly and be better at pronouncing numbers... We felt so uncomfortable asking her and felt we were another weight on her shoulder. Also one of the ladys in the supermarket was never with a smile and unfriendly. We had food poisoning and we think it was from the breakfast, so not much of a holiday...

Pros: Room was very nice... nice grocery. The staff was extremely helpful

Cons: No Internet. FAcilities were so so. Very Vacant. a very large property without transport to and from rooms

Pros: It's a family friendly resort. My daughter had so much running around and they have almost all you need there- supermarket, bank, restaurants.

Cons: WiFi was expensive at the hotel and fee WiFi is only available at the lobby.

Pros: The resort is more suitable for local people than for turists. Nice palms and flowers. Close to the airport.

Cons: The room far away from pool and beach. Noisy room without sound isolation. All the night noisy guests. Pool need urgently the renovation. Very poor equipment in the room. For low cost travelers may bee good, but not for us. Thausends of pismires on the room.

Pros: It’s nice, food is good, location is beautiful

Pros: Friendly staff, nice and spacious room. Good location.

Pros: Modern, clean, but a bit soul-less.

Pros: Location , spot on, within walking distance of what I wanted to see and do. As the staff, what a nice set of people, from the time I checked in with a welcome drink to the time I checked out with a good by smile.How ever , I'm not sure I would stay there again whenever/if ever I should go back to Santa Maria Sal ,but I definitely would not rule it out.

Cons: No WiFi in my room plus no cable TV in my room, if these two things was there it would receive 10 out of 10 from me,even with the breakfast situation.

Pros: The staff were very kind and helpful in arranging my transfer from and to the airport, as well as in answering all my questions about the surroundings (places where I could eat, etc.). It was also extremely nice just to chat with them and get a bit more of a home feeling when coming back to the hotel.
