we came here without any expectatuons and were surprused - in a good way. The hotel is in the center few steps away from the main pedestrian street, few steps away from the beach(s). All the staff is very helpful, kind willing to give you advice if one is needed. Breakfast is good, room was pleasant. I liked it.

The best things about Santa Maria were the friendly local and the beautiful in crowded beaches.
The only things that weren’t great was the 2 hours it took to get through passport control at the airport and that not everything in our hotel was working properly

Very nice town, beautiful, clean.
Very nice town, beautiful, clean. A lot of restaurants and nice bars. Go to restaurants that´s not on the mainstreet and you will find the best food and the best prices, for exampla "Camara Camara", they had the best tuna and other fish. Bom Petisck is good. Bar restaurante Bia has very good grilled meat, great red wine and very nice service.
Buddy bar has nice drinks and so do Brazil that's right down on the beach.
Visit the town/village Palmeira, it's adorable and go to Salinas, the salt lakes. It's very easy to find taxi.

The Antigo apts are located in a little oasis of beautifully landscaped gardens beside the beach, in my opinion the very best part of Santa Maria. There is a covered market to where fruit and veg can be bought. We only used the cafe attached to the apts & Sal Beach Bar, where food was good. There are more several bars with music but I can't comment as we didn't use them. Not much else in Santa Maria - Sal Island isn't very affluent

We loved the weather and sandy beaches.
What we liked:
We loved the weather and sandy beaches. It was hot however with the constant breeze it was just right.
The hotel is located literally at the beach which is a really good thing.
Marley Bar at the resort is a must visit to chill, drink and eat.
Taxis from the resorts to Santa Maria are about 6 euros and my suggestion is to stick with the one and the same taxi driver as we did with our many trips to Santa Maria. Taxi drivers all operate on whatsapp and if you got the ride you liked then stick with it. It pays off when you're go shopping for fish as the driver will walk with you and you won't be "constantly bothered with buying some souvenirs" from other locals.
If you're one to get to see the Sal Island go and choose GUS travel.
They're very knowledgeable and nothing is a bother when they show you the island.
On the less good side:
Food in the hotel was hit and miss and in our view the locals should focus on what Cape Verde has best to offer which is fish, fish and fish and ditch the European food. Luckily we did not go all inclusive so we have many more options.
Mosquitoes are really annoying and nothing repels them, so take a mosquitoes net with you
If are in Santa Maria 1st time, do not get overwhelmed by all the locals trying to sell you something, after all they make a living from selling things to tourists.
And lastly travel insurance is a must. The healthcare is accessible for all but hospital miss even basic stuff. If you require special medicines if you get sick, best is if you could take them with you, otherwise you might need to cut short you holiday and get the travel insurance to get you back home early.

The beaches are beautiful but it's impossible to walk the streets without being literally harrassed by owners of shops trying to sell you something. I understand that they're trying to make a living, but insisting that you "just" take a look at their shop, trying to call you back to their shop, literally shouting to you at the streets to "stop" and to "wait" is just unacceptable. While I was walking on the streest, I didn't spend a single minute without being approached and harrassed by someone.
They say "Cabo Verde, No Stress" but they pressure and attack you in such a form that you end up not buying anything, even if your intention was to buy something in the beginning. I'm from Turkey where we have a similar "seller approaching you" culture, and I've been to Morocco and Tunisia as well where similar stuff happens, but this was just too much for me.
From what I understand, these are generally foreigners who come to Sal to sell stuff, the pure locals of this place are much frendlier and calmer in general.
If it weren't for this people, I'd like to have stayed more, or I'd probably even return someday, but just because of this behavoir I'll never return to Santa María. If you want a calmer (and much more beautiful) place, just go Tarrafal on Santiago island.

Too much touristed. Too dry.
Too much touristed. Too dry.
Visit some of the other islands of Capo Verde. It's easy to take a flight to an other place and have a nice holiday. It's much more green at Sao Vicente and Sao Antao.
Had a perfect stay. The host Zuela met us in person and shared some tips about the surrounding area. The apartment was spacious and had everything we could need (kitchen, fridge, washing machine, microwave, safe, ...). The building has extra security on the ground floor. The beach was very close (less than 10 minutes by walking). Getting to the center of Santa Maria was easy too (15-20 minutes by walking).
Value for money of the accommodation is very good. It is simply furnished, but has everything you need in an apartment. The location is wonderful with a view of the beach and ocean. The complex has a pool. The main street and the main beach of Santa Maria are not far away. Micol and Lucia were very friendly and helpful before and during the stay (thank you!). We had a very relaxing week.
The beach is only 3 minutes from the apartment and you have a beautiful seaview from the balcony. The owner is very helpful and friendly. I enjoyed my stay very much and would recommend it to anyone visiting Santa Maria. The apartment was more spacious than I expected. The pier and the main Santa Maria beach it is within walking distance.
I had a great stay at apartment of Antonio and his lovely wife. The place was clean, bed was comfortable. It’s a new building with its own water tank so you can be sure to have running water even during outage (pretty common in Santa Maria). The location is convenient and there’s a big supermarket just around the corner. Recommended 💯%
We were before in Santa Maria Beach Apartament and breakfast was really bad, we were so happy to move to Hotel Da Luz where we finally had good breakfast!! Personal was very friendly , amazing swimming pool and on the roof place to do gymnastics and yoga. This hotel is very good choice, specially for this price.
Lucio is not only a great host, but also a known and beloved celebrity of Santa Maria! His apartment is the perfect budget-friendly accomodation for a couple, providing all necessities (+ a few nice extras) in a convenient location. Strongly recommended!
The position of the house was amazing, since it was near to Santa Maria center. The house is beach front, which is a big plus and it also has security at night, it was clean and had all the necessary tools. Marina is a lovely host, i recommend staying.
I loved that the hotel is walking distance from the centre of Santa Maria, so we could go to explore the shops and restaurants easily. The beach is one of the cleanest I have ever seen and the staff were incredibly friendly, especially to the kids.
Clean, mostly quiet street, easy walk to beach.
Booking was not updated but I stayed in this property for two weeks.
To clarify listed amenities: There is no air conditioning or dryer.
Views are that of a typical Santa Maria neighborhood.
The Budha Beach Hotel was a nice start of our holidays in Cape Vert. The location is a bit at the edges of Santa Maria but very relaxing and peaceful. The room was big and spacious and clean and the staff extremely nice!
It was not in the middle of the tourist traps of Santa Maria, but safe and walkable to all restauarants and activities. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The wifi was good enough for my meetings and work.
Great hotel - large and comfortable rooms with very helpful staff. Slightly outside the town but still very conveniently located (8-10 minutes on foot). Just a couple of minutes away from the beach too.
Amazing location on the beach and close to Santa Maria. Full of charm and character.
Lots of space and great cooking facilities.
Marina was a great host, always happy to help and super welcoming
