I would have spent 3 days there maximum and spent the other 4 days in Tarrafal, instead.
In general I enjoyed my stay there, but Tarrafal it’s a different world, where you can actually feel the culture and be surrounded with beauty. Cidade abelha is also a must and it’s absolutely beautiful.
I would have loved to manage to see the typical ceramics, but people don’t talk much and don’t value much (unfortunately). I actually went to Sai Domingos on purpose to see it, but the locals said it was closed.

I loved the sun, the water, the history of the people, the moutains and the rest of the land, the beaches, Tarrafel and the kindness of the people. Its a great place for a vacation if you just want sun and the easy life on the beach or climbing mountain trails if you like. I will return!!

Praia is the capital of Cape Verde.
Praia is the capital of Cape Verde. The Santiago island is not the best if you are looking for a great beach experience. There are other islands with easy access that have superb beaches. We did a tour around the island which was interesting visiting Cidade Velha and Tarrafal as well as Sao Vicente. Tarrafal was a nice beach. The two main markets in Praia are a must see, also where you can buy some mementos.

Praia is a small "African" town, where you stroll around and enjoy the moment. There is actually nothing spectacular to see, but as a whole it is quite enjoyable. We walked thru Plato and along the beaches (Quebra Canela and Prainha). The restaurants there are really great: good food and nice view! But prices are higher than one would expect, more European.
This is such a great find, a beautiful cool colonial house with tall ceilings and immaculately clean. Right in the historic center. The host was really responsive and the house is really comfortable, the room stays cool during the hot humid days, a real bargain for the price considering the beauty of the house and the details of the rooms. Cute little kitchen for shared use as well as a nice little walled patio out back. A great find in Praia! I changed hotels from the hotel Santa Maria and was so much better here.
The room was clean, bright and beautiful, the balcony and view were spectacular. The salt water pool was large, clean and warm. The night front desk officers Luis and Mario were excellent and very helpful. The breakfast was very good, as was the breakfast staff.
I also liked that the hotel pictures on the site are accurate - it is surrounded by a very rocky beach and doesn't present itself as beach hotel with an accessible sandy beach. There is a little sandy beach cove next to the hotel where people can swim.
The host is very nice and helpfull (he help us to find colectivos and taxis or to change cash) and have a lot of advices to give about visiting Praia and Santiago island.
The breakfast is very good both in taste and quantity and varies from morning. (Fresh natural juice, bread, fresh fruits, coffee, milk, omelette or catchupa).
The fan in the room was really enjoyable.
The appartement is very close sucupira market (not even a minutes) where you can also find colectivos to go to other place in Santiago.
Stayed in a suite which was good value and spacious. What was exceptional was the staff. Nelson was very responsive and provide great advice. The location is a short walk to the boardwalk near the sea so great for morning or evening walks. You will need to take a taxi to get to any key places. But it’s like 2€ to everywhere. Very close to Grace Evora Lounge which has live music every Fri and Sat. Tips - get a SIM card at airport for data and a couple of taxi contacts.
The entire staff was very welcoming, despite the language barrier (that was overcame as they all speak english), they gave me great advice that made my trip way better! The hotel is a nice establishment, very clean and quiet. Despite being a little excentrated it is still very accessible; one can take the bus 12 and get to the city center within 20min for only 43 CVE, and taxis drive nearby at a high frequence.
The room was nice and clean. I only stayed one night. I arrived late but the owners helped me by booking a taxi to pick me up at the port, they also came to give me the key.
The owners also helped me pick up a aluguer to the mountain by dropping at the « station ».
They were both super nice and really helpful.
The location is quite nice and there is a nice brunch place not too far from the hotel.
Only spent one night there and arrived late from the airport. But it was really nice. We had a big apartment upstairs all to ourselves. And the breakfast in the morning was very good too. The staff was very helpful beforehand, arranging a pickup and drop off at the airport. There are a few restaurants 5 mins away by foot and the beach isn't far either but didn't have time to test it.
Everything is well organized. The room is clean equipped with the kitchen staff. No fun there is A.C. which works very well. The staff is very helpful and friendly.The room and bathroom are extremely clean and comfortable. The hotel is close to supermarkets and restaurants in Palmarejo area. The best deal in this area.
The hotel is beautiful, simple and in a good location that felt safe and was close to everything. The staff is amazing and so helpful, especially Becky who made us feel so welcome, thank you! The salt water pool is so wonderful and refreshing. The restaurant serves delicious food and breakfast every day.
Great location on airport side of downtown. Downtown within walking distance. The beaches are on the other side of the city. Perfect transfer to the airport. No parking (I think); but good chance for stopping behind the hotel.
What a great place - modern renovation and an amazing bathroom, efficient air conditioning, great view of the Port of Praia and the perfect location for enjoying the Plateau or walking to the beach area near the embassies
Very clean, quiet, spacial, well equipped and new apartment in a great area of praia! Kind and uncomplicated communication.
We were very happy to stay at this apartment and would recommend it for 100 percent.
The location for a more relaxed stay in Praia.
The room was very comfortable and spacious.
Breakfast was delicious and plenty of dishes to choose from.
Swimming pool area
Staff is very friendly and helpful
Not the cheapest but very good location, big rooms, nice balcony. Breakfast not great but OK. Close to ferry and airport. I used this hotel as my Praia base traveling Brava, Fogo, Maio.
