Top Santa Maria Hotel Reviews

Hilton Cabo Verde Sal Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Nicely located, right on the beach and with a nice pool. An easy 15 min stroll along the beach to the centre of Santa Maria. Rooms were clean and spacious and well re-stocked each day, including with lots of bottles of water (this is necessary: don’t use the tap water!). Staff were very helpful in arranging transfers to and from the airport."

Morabeza Hotel

8/10 Good

"I unfortunately landed during the storm so the hotel was flooded and the room too in the end but I was able to be moved to a floor up. Following this my stay was very pleasant. Staff were very helpful. Food was good and very good location to beach and shops. They cleared the water quickly and fixed the hotel up in no time. I think I was quite unlucky to land on that day but they deffo made up for it during the stay. Rooms are a bit dated but that gave it character."

Hotel Central Santa Maria

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! The hotel is brand new and in a really convenient location, very close to the main tourist street/alley where you’ll find all the bars and restaurants. The staff were incredibly helpful, kind, and always smiling, both day and night. Breakfast is included, which is a great bonus and made the stay even better. The only small issue was the water in the shower, but this seems to be a general water issue across the island rather than a problem with the hotel itself. Overall, a lovely place to stay with great staff and a fantastic location"

Royal Horizon Beijo Mansão - Ponta Sino

8/10 Good

"The hotel looks exactly like the pictures, nice and modern. It was a pleasant stay, as it is a new hotel there’s still a few teething issues such as the WiFI and TV not always working, but the staff are prompt to resolve. The room was exactly what I wanted which is always a bonus. Side note there are no tall palms trees, so there is very little shade by the pools sadly. Food was okay too."
