Salamansa Bay

This hotel is just the right fit for the paradise that is Santo Antao. The staff is warm and friendly, the food is stellar and the rooms are elegantly decorated as is the entire property. Highly recommend and can't wait to go back!

I booked the hotel through Expedia, based on the photos I saw there. The reality is far from the actual photos. The rate was a 5-star hotel rate or a high-end boutique hotel at $ 150; the reality is a 3-guesthouse. The location was on an unsafe street; the room was dirty, the bedsheet was old and looked uncleaned, and the toilet was broken and very dirty. When we arrived, there was no one at the reception, and we had to wait 30 min until someone in the street helped us call the guy. Although we spoke to the owner, asked for a refund of the cost, and showed her a video of the rooms vs what was on Expedia, she insists it's the same. Of course, we left and moved to Mansa Hotel, which was cheaper and 100 times better. DONT BOOK THERE
