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.
As a solo traveller who had never been to Cape Verde before I was a little apprehensive. The owner, Stefi, replied to all my questions prior to leaving the UK even arranging a taxi to great me at the airport.
The complex is wonderful with lovel clean swimming pool and set meters from Santa Maria bay. The studio was large, light and airy.and contained everything for my stay. The shady terrace made a pleasant change from sitting in the hit sunshine. I tried to book longer but, unfortunately Stefy was fully booked.
Boutique hotel, reasonably priced, locally run, on edge of Santa Maria but easy walk to town centre. Close to beach. Quiet and relaxed. Food in the evening excellent. Warm and friendly staff, very helpful. Room was large, simply furnished with local touches, very comfortable. Clean and pleasant. Pool never too busy. Overall, as a couple without children, so much nicer than being in a huge anonymous resort that sends profits overseas!
The Ocean Suites was such a delight to stay at. The staff were amazing and friendly. The entertainment was varied with diffent genre's of music on most nights.
The food options were good and competitively priced and off excellent quality.
I stayed in the Santa Maria suite which was beautifully decorated in local culture themes, ornaments and pictures.
A stones throw away to the beach and other local attractions......
There was a lot to like about Hotel Da Luz. The location—with easy access to the Santa Maria city center but also quieter and close to less populated beaches—was ideal. The staff could not have been more accommodating and friendlier. They helped me plan my days, arrange services, and book the conference room to hold some business calls. And the restaurant—both for breakfast and dinner—was super convenient and tasty!
Excellent service, pleasant stuff going an extra mile to accommodate you. Really all the best! And the most impression made resection ( printing documents, organizing taxi from port to hotel to airport,… good English)
And hotel location is stunning, rocks and followers with pool next to the small and cute hotel beach, ideal for kids since it’s protected by walls.
All the best ☺️🌴🐠🐟🐬
Very nice place with amazing sea view , well located in Santa Maria .
Clean and peaceful.
The owner Robert is chill and caring and discreet,
he knows the island pretty well so he can advise you an give you a lot of good tips.
It would be perfect if they could add shower soap and shampoo and an iron for your clothes.
I will definitely be back again!
EXCELLENT location close to the beach and rental of windsurfing equipment. A location on the other side of town -
at a location within nature away from traffic and the other big hotels. AMAZING freshly prepared breakfast. A wonderful room - taking the price into account. And a VERY friendly and helpful staff.
Excellent location, walking distance to the most beautiful beach and Santa Maria town. Stunning pool view and fully furnished apartment with washing machine, everything we needed for a family of 2 adults and 2 children! Loved this property and would recommend staying here.
Beautiful hotel, nice breakfast and amazing rooms. The hotel is in a good street. 3 minutes walk to the main street in Santa Maria, 3 minutes walk to the closest beach were among others people do kite surfing, wind surfing and normal surfing. Staff was very friendly.
The location is fabulous! I would say the best for Santa Maria. Everything is close by.
Apt is basic but that is how it is in Cape Verde.
Clean and has everything you need. Air con in main living area and fan in bedroom.
Lovely pool area.
Will go back
Loved this place and especially the kindness and hospitality of the owners who went out of their way to be accommodating. Perfectly clean, great location, big breakfast and a room with a big balcony to myself, this is a brilliant deal in Santa Maria.
We had an amazing stay at Ocean Suites. The people working there are exceptionally nice and helpful, the atmosphere is amazing, the room was very nice, 10m from the beach and right in the centre of Santa Maria. 10 out of 10! We'll be coming back!
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.
Studio with a good quality/price, decorated with taste. Very friendly and informative owner.
Very well placed, 5 min away by foot to the beach and the main restaurants and shops of Santa Maria.
Excellent location, amazing team, super helpful. Lovely breakfast, perfect place to enjoy Santa Maria. Papaya was great for lunch and dinner which is just outside the Resort. Highly recommend
Everything. And the staff were exceptionally helpful and kind. Few four star hotels match their stars with the quality of the premises and offering. Hotel morabeza does deliver the goods.
One of the niecest hotel in Sal, good location, full of plants and flowers, lovely beach and sea water swimming pool. Good breakfast on the sea side and very good restaurant.
