Hotels Near Ortsname Tarrafal in Tarrafal

The hotel is very clean and well equipped for the price. Negative points: The hotel is located outside Praia, which requires taking a taxi every time to go to town or visit something. The breakfast is more than a limit, it doesn't deserve a 4-star, there were just 3 pieces of fruit (which did not very much like), small breads, no cooking or butter, soluble coffee. The hotel is a very nice hotel, and it is a very nice hotel. According to the noises we heard, they entered the room next to ours in order to cambriolar, then they descended from a floor and we heard very violent alterations with many people who cried, Then we were not in safety. The next day we asked the reception what happened, the lady tried to disrupt the case. We still decide to leave the hotel for our safety.

Foi uma excelente escolha, ainda bem que escolhi este hotel! Recebida com um sorriso, todo o staff acolhedor, senti me em casa. Adorei esta experiência neste hotel, a simpatia, limpeza, comodidades Situado na Achada de Santo António, um bairro simpático, calmo e com tudo, bancos, farmácia, restaurantes, pastelarias, supermercados, livraria e a 5 minutos a pé da prainha. Recomendo que fiquem neste adorável hotel, principalmente o staff, por terem proporcionado um maravilhosa estadia.

We stayed here twice during our family holidays to Cape Verde Islands with our grown up kids. Our 2 rooms were very comfortable, the beds quite new and we had good sleeps. The last stay we got an upgrade. The staff did a lot to accommodate our wishes. The pool on the top terrace has a beautiful view of the ocean and Praia. Location is close to sights. At night not recommended to walk from there as the area may be a little insecure after dark.

My wife and I stayed 7 nights, arriving at 6PM by taxi(2000 escudos) from the RAI Airport. Two welcoming English speaking receptionists copied passports, verified our reservation, provided inter island flight info and issued our key cards. We took the elevator up one floor to room #305 with a comfortable king, bathroom with a tiled shower/separate toilet room with very loud squeaky door, central AC and an opening window with a view of the Atlantic surf. Nice TV with CNN in English(for the 1st 5 days only), good room wifi and a relaxed 7AM breakfast run by an overworked chef, server and room number taker; all food groups were included with fresh fruit and an on-request omelet station. We walked to the adjoining shopping center to its well stocked mini market on the lower level, pastelaria on the restaurant level and used its large complimentary gym. We did not use the 7th floor plunge pool/bar with its encompassing view. Taxis(200 escudos) were always available to the Praia plateau and 1000 escudos back to the airport.

The people in the room upstairs were running around. The people in the next room were noisy. The room itself was great but noise insulation should be better. There were no elevators or ramps to get heavy bags up and down. Breakfast was great. All around the food was great. Local grilled fish for lunch was fantastic. Hotel staff were pretty good though sometimes did not give their full attention. The pool area was a feature. Very handy location.

After passing through an impressive foyer the rest of this hotel has the ambiance of a prison with austere concrete, minimal landscaping, surly staff (especially in reception) plus security guards much in evidence. It is really a business hotel with minimal facilities for leisure travellers. A miserly 50ml bottle of water supplied on Day 1. Then had to buy water at the bar as no shops in the area. Much needed as tap water not potable and it reached 30 deg on some days in January (the coolest month). The other Cape Verde hotel I stayed (on Sal) provided 1.5ml on day 1. I had a superior sea view room so did have a large balcony. The other rooms had very little outside space. Not a problem if you are on business but not if staying for a few days as a tourist. The swimming pool is surrounded by crumbling concrete and loose slabs. There is no information supplied anywhere about any aspect of the hotel such as times of meals or facilities (except the cost of times in the minibar). The three restaurants each function at different times for the different meals. The breakfast was good quality and varied. ‘Normal black tea bags’ were stored behind the counter and only issued on request. Politely requesting lemon for my tea was met with a shrug except on day 5. Noisy parties were held in this room for birthdays etc in the evening. Bedrooms in great need of refurbishment with tiles almost coming off the wall of the shower area. My shower which had a mechanical problem reported on day 1 was never fixed, and the water always luke warm in all rooms. One day the hotel’s old infrastructure failed so no water at all for a while. Located on the far outskirts of Praia with very little to see or do in the area as it is mainly housing on busy roads.
