7.8/10 Good! (230 reviews)
Accommodation is very dated. Website photos do not reflect the hotel. Many of the properties on the resort are old and dilapidated. Wifi in room was the worst I have experienced in the last 10 years and we was lied to about this. For example you will have Wi-Fi on the sofa but less than three metres away you can’t use Wi-Fi in the bed to make a phone call. It was that bad. It was explained as a blackout across Cape Verde however good internet in bar area and other parts of Sal. Friendly and helpful staff especially Duke and the restaurant and bar staff. Free shuttle to Santa Maria twice a day was useful.

Good overall. Lovely staff who could not be more helpful. My aircon broke and they fixed it and repainted the wall within 30 mins! Decent restaurant but pricey if you aren’t all inclusive. Nice location within walking distance of the main town area.

Great location, clean and tidy, and the breakfast had a good selection. The air conditioner was quiet and the “do not disturb/clean room” door handle tag was a cute touch.

"Wish there was a 3.5 rating to give - but right that given 3 rather than 4. It was a nice resort, really nice, but compared to other 5 stars previously, not quite worth the price tag. Maybe expecting too much from beech resort 5 star but don't think so."
