Top São Vicente Hotel Reviews

Las Rochas Mindelo

Las Rochas Mindelo

4/10 Poor
"Positives: The room was spacious and generally clean, The view of the ocean is good. The central atrium was nice and the staff were friendly The proximity of the small supermarket The choice of drinks and juices for breakfast Negatives: The hotel is run down and not at all like the photos. There is a general air of disrepair, beyond reception and the atrium. There is an extension/conservatory next to the breakfast area that had significant leaks. The breakfast itself was limited, the pastries of poor quality/bland. Due to outbreaks of shigella and Salmonella in Cape Verde (I am not suggesting this was in the hotel) , public health advice is not to eat prepared fruit or fruit that is not washed and peeled, further limiting the selection. The ham was of poor quality, there was no toaster, only a sandwich making. The cereal was stale. There was no hot food, there was a plate with previously fried eggs on only 2 mornings, these were cold. The pool area was ok, but the water was cold. There are only a few sunbeds The bed was hard and the bottom sheet scratchy. There was a leak under the sink, with a bowl to catch water and therefore mould. The blind in the bedroom was badly broken and therefore I was unable to let in any natural light. The window did not open. There was no TV reception. The shower had a build up of scum and mould. The shower trap had a build up of debris and did not drain properly. My room was not cleaned during my 6 day stay. The wifi was very poor."

What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in São Vicente?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in São Vicente is between November and June, with March being a particularly sought-after month. During this period, the weather is consistently warm and dry, with average temperatures hovering around 25°C. This makes it an ideal time for enjoying the island's beautiful beaches, swimming in the Atlantic, and trying water sports like windsurfing or kitesurfing.

With the pleasant temperatures and minimal rainfall, outdoor activities are at their prime. You'll find it easy to spend full days lounging on the sands of Baía das Gatas or exploring the vibrant port city of Mindelo. While popular, this extended season means you'll have ample opportunity to enjoy the island's offerings. Couples and families seeking sun-drenched relaxation will find these months incredibly appealing.

For a distinct experience, September presents a wonderful alternative. While it falls outside the peak dry season, the temperatures remain inviting, typically around 27°C, and the occasional brief shower often brings a refreshing respite. During September, you may find better value on luxurious beach resorts and it can be easier to secure reservations at popular waterfront restaurants.

It's a crescent of white sand with calm, clear waters, making it ideal for swimming and sunbathing. The beach is lined with beach bars and cafes where you can relax and enjoy the sea views. Families often find this beach superb due to its calm waters and easy access to refreshments and facilities.
