My wife and I absolutely loved the stay here. It was everything we needed and more from the reception at check-in to the room, wi-fi and the helpful staff. One of the staff becky was particularly helpful with recommendations for places to visit and things to do (we took her advice and went to Kebra Canela beach and had a good time) . I only wish we had booked more days as we previously stayed at another hotel in the city centre (plateau) before moving to this hotel for two night.

Brand new place with large & confortable rooms, very clean, quiet. The hotel is located not far from town (if you do not want to walk, taxi is only 2 euros) & near beaches ans wonderful sunsets. Julia Maria is a wonderful host but also a recognised Cook in Cabo Verde : you will have great food at her restaurant.

The breakfast buffet was a highlight. Delicious and plentiful, with wonderfully friendly service! The front desk staff was available all day and until midnight to address any questions or concerns we had. They were flexible about extending our stay when we wanted to stay longer in charming Tarrafal, and even helped us move our personal items between rooms. And they helped us book a taxi for the return to Praia Airport! If I return to Tarrafal, I wouldn't stay anywhere else!

Far from civilization, access via a winding, scenic road. We asked in the town downstairs which street to turn into. Rooms with a terrace and a wonderful view of the island. Modestly, but cleanly. The food was in the form of a buffet, which we liked. We woke up in the clouds this morning! They passed

Nice, spacious room with large bathroom and balcony. A bit old-fashioned (which added some charm) but fully comfortable. Excellent big breakfast, including a cachupa with egg - a welcome energy boost before a day of hiking! Location in the centre of Assomada which is not exactly a beatiful town but has a purely local feel and an excellent location for hiking in the interior of the Santiago island. Some hikes are accessible on foot, some by taking an aluguer (minibus) - and the aluguer station is just a few steps away from Asa Branca. Some previous guests complained about street noise but we had a room at the back and it was quiet.

    Nestled along the coastline, with the backdrop of rugged cliffs and the serene expanse of the ocean, your hotel is a true gem. The idyllic setting is nothing short of paradise, and every moment spent there felt like a dream. One of the highlights of my stay was the ability to leap from the hotel directly into the crystal-clear waters of the sea. The thrill of jumping into the ocean from your beautiful property is an experience I will cherish forever. The way you have seamlessly integrated nature and luxury is truly commendable. However, what truly sets your hotel apart is the outstanding service and hospitality provided by your General Manager. Their dedication to ensuring the guests have an exceptional experience is evident in every aspect of the stay. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the General Manager for their exceptional leadership and for curating such a memorable stay for me.

    The whole staff has been extremely kind and welcoming. We were travelling with our 9 months old daughters and they have been very nice to us and to her. The hotel is equipped with high chairs and they provided a cradle for our staying. Breakfast and meals are delicious. We recommend this option for people travelling and staying in Praia.

    It's a great place, just be care if you are a woman.

    It's a great place, just be care if you are a woman. Do NOT go out alone or at night. My housemate and I went to a beach that was 6-7 walking minutes away. It was absolutely lovely. We went at 6pm and left at 8pm. It was dark. Unfortunately 2 masked children (of about 12) tried to "jump" us with knives. I've been traveling for 30 years and robbed 7 times before (including this; that averages out to 1/4 years and I AM VERY WHITE, with blue eyes, blond hair and stand out in certain places, so I may be an "easy target". Still, I've never had knives drawn on me. So PLEASE be careful, especially if you are women. BE SMART. I wasn't. Thankfully all I walked away with was some PTSD and bad memories, but they had masks & REAL KNIVES and it could have been VERY BAD.

    Tarrafal by itself is nice to visit for a few days. Beach, good restaurants, you can do hikes on Monte Graciosa, and Tras os Montes. Restaurant 'chez mama' has some hiking maps. And good food too. I spent most of my time fishing. From the rocks at Punta Atum, of from a boat. One thing to keep in mind. Tarrafal in August is hot. You can go up to Serra Malagueta where it is cooler. But rainy in August.

    Nice beach, clean but poor surroundings.

    Nice beach, clean but poor surroundings. The proximity with the airport (35 min.) makes it a potential nice destination. The city should promote more actively the destination in order to attract developers which could renew the houses we can see from the beach and which are falling apart. Hopefully in the future this can be done and attract more visitors and have additional hotels. The potential exists.

    Crowded and chaotic city, far from the peaceful atmosphere...

    Crowded and chaotic city, far from the peaceful atmosphere found on the other Cape Verde islands. The local population generally doesn’t speak English and often seems offended if you don’t speak to them in Portuguese. Tourists are frequently stared at, which can make you feel a bit out of place, and the overall impression is that visitors aren’t always welcome. We had a bad experience in Praínha, where persistent children came up asking for money, while older men seemed to be eyeing our bags left on the towels. We ended up having to leave immediately by taxi. Outside of the Plateau—the only area recommended for tourists and heavily patrolled by military and police—you don’t really feel safe.
