Cape Verde Ski Holidays

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.

very good hotel , staff very friendly just miss coffee in the room

Perfet to relax alone or with family. The staff is amazing

This is a SMOKER'S RESORT and is NOT ALL INCLUSIVE. Smoking is allowed in public outdoor spaces...the pools, the beach, the bars, patios and balconies. You can't go anywhere without breathing second hand smoke. We couldn't enjoy the evening events because of it, and I couldn't walk to the gym without breathing smoke from people smoking on their balconies. Also, this resort has their own version of "All Inclusive", which is not all inclusive at all. Only about 10% of the alcohol, the cheap stuff, is included. Even some of the non-alcoholic cocktails are not included. The specialty restaurants are not included. There are no minibars or anything in the room refrigerators. The A/C in our room never got below 27 degrees C. The gym was well equipped but the A/C doesn't blow and the cardio equipment is up against the south facing floor to ceiling windows, which had a great view, but made it like working out in a sauna. The humidity was unbearable. The bed and bedding were very comfortable and the housekeeping staff did a wonderful job. The groundskeeping and security staff were also stellar. The food was amazing. Dinner wasn't available until 7:30 pm, however, which is late and there was always an anxious line to get in and get a seat by that time. The beach and location were good, other than the smoking. We never worried about our safety or our stuff. Felt comfortable leaving our bags, etc at the pool, dining area and beach.

Not a bad hotel but the rooms need a lot of upgrade. Like in this 2026, not a single USB charging outlet in all the hotel rooms!

The view from Belvedere is breathtaking, but the property is extremely far from the harbour and involves a long, tiring trek with countless stairs. The room, although described as a suite, is very basic and more in line with a 3-star standard at best. The staff did try to help, but their capacity was limited. The receptionist was unable to assist with luggage despite the many stairs; fortunately, our driver helped us. She also recommended a restaurant on arrival which turned out to be dreadful — essentially fast food for locals. It was dirty, unhealthy, and completely unsuitable. The swimming pool is tiny, though at least it allowed for some sunbathing. Breakfast was mediocre and ends at 11am. There is no food or drink service available during the day, which is unacceptable and reflects a general lack of service. The hotel feels more suited to backpackers and budget travellers — certainly not our taste and absolutely not luxury. Toiletries were minimal, towels and pillows had to be requested upon arrival (thankfully I had my own toiletries), and the bed was uncomfortable — the mattress triggered my sciatica. The reception itself is tiny, almost like a mouse hole, and unwelcoming. In short, aside from the spectacular views, I would not stay here again. This hotel is not for me or my husband.
