My room was spacious and very comfortable. Staff, as always, were lovely. I enjoy eating in the restaurant on the beach.

This was my first visit to Cape Verde and I will definitely stay here again on any future visits. The entire property was very neat and clean and reasonably priced. Loved the unique decor. From the front desk to the bartender…Every single member of the staff was super friendly and helpful, even with problems I had trying to move around the country away from the hotel. They definitely went above and beyond. I absolutely recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay at Pestana Tropico. The best thing about the hotel is the feeling of being in a family hotel, with staff who are attentive to detail. I would like to thank the staff at the reception, at the bar, restaurant, and the staff cleaning the rooms - they were absolutely lovely and very helpful! Great hotel!

I was a little disappointed when I thought the room I booked had an ocean view and it did not. The building is nice, clean and staffs were friendly and courteous. Tiles on floor need to be replaced since some had cracks in them and some parts of the building can use some fresh paints. The Buffett breakfast was good.
