Apartment | in Tropical Resort | pool | close to beach
Tropical Resort - probably the quietest place in the tourist town of Santa Maria.
Much of the accommodation in the main town is in a busy area with cafes, bars, restaurants, traffic, dogs and noise. This is great for a night out. However, we chose to purchase this apartment in the most peaceful location that is still close to the town and beach. Tropical Resort is a high-quality development and is just 300m from the lovely sandy Santa Maria beach, on the island of Sal.
Inside the apartment…
The apartment accommodates up to 6 people and includes one king size double bedroom, 1 twin bedroom, a double sofa bed in the living room, a dining table that seats 6 people, kitchen, bathroom with Italian tiles and modern sanitary fitments, (including shower, toilet and bidet), and an outside terrace with table and chairs. The kitchen includes the essentials for cooking including a refrigerator/freezer, hob, microwave, kettle, coffee maker, toaster, utensils, crockery and cutlery. The living area is comfortable and well equipped with sofa, coffee table and television. There are ceiling fans in all rooms. The apartment faces southeast so it is possible to sit on the terrace in the mornings and enjoy a sunny breakfast.
Outside the house…
There is a private terrace overlooking the shared gardens and pool. The shared areas include a tropical garden, a large free-form swimming pool and outdoor shower. There are sun loungers on both sun terraces and shaded terraces. There are bars, restaurants and two small supermarkets just 2 minutes walk away. The beach and sea is just 3 minutes walk away and the town 10 minutes, where there are lots of shops, bars and restaurants.
It is located close to the centre of the 8km sandy Santa Maria beach. This beach is known for surfing. To the east, about a 25 minute walk, there is a Kite Beach, together with a wild stretch of untouched wilderness, where you can enjoy a coffee in the restaurant, kite surf, or paddle with the harmless lemon sharks if you walk a little further.
Your stay includes everything on the inventory (available on request) including bedding and house towels. Also included is laundry (of bedding & towels), electricity, gas and water. There is free WIFI available in the apartment. Please bring towels for use by the pool and on the beach.
Tourist Tax is payable by all adults over the age of 16. The cost is €2.50 per person per night to a maximum of 10 nights.
Please note: If your dates are not available please message us as we have other apartments available at Tropical Resort.

Peaceful break near a stunning beach
Clean, great communication prior to arrival, complex was quiet and set back from the beach which is good as not too windy.

Great Family Holiday
Brilliant first time to Cape Verde, we booked a self catering apartment so we could have the freedom to eat out at all the lovely restaurants. Whilst a short walk into town, the Tropical Resort was perfect for us, we enjoyed the beautiful pool and we enjoyed the beach which was only a 5 minute walk from the apartment. From our first enquiry till the end of the holiday the service and help provided was brilliant Thank you so much, we shall definitely be back.

Lovely apartment, gardens and pool, close to beach
This was my second visit to this apartment. It is well equipped, comfortable and the east facing patio is a great place to enjoy meals, especially breakfast. The fabulous beach is just a short walk away. There are two small shops nearby that can provide the essentials, and there are three or four restaurants closeby too. I look forward to going back.

A lovely apartment in a great location close to the beach
The apartment is comfortable and well appointed. The terrace is the perfect place to eat breakfast, as it gets the morning sun. The gardens are lovely and well looked after. The pool is also lovely. There is also a new restaurant alongside the two existing ones, very close by that was a great place to eat and stocks a large variety of beers, including many from Belgium. All three restaurants offer different things.
The apartment is as described in the listing and was clean and well maintained. The owner was very helpful and so was the house manager. I would certainly recommend it to others.

Fabulous stay in Cape Verde
We loved every minute of our stay at Tropical Resort.

Very good resort
We’ve spent 4 nights in the Tropical Resort. Everything was perfect. The apartment very clean and equipped with everything. The resort it’s 5 minutes away from the beach and 10 minutes away from the center, giving a peaceful and quiet environment. We’ve had some arrival and departure problems and Roger and Philip did everything to help us.
I recommend a 100% this resort.

Lung och varm semester i toppenlägenhet
Bra och fräsch lägenhet med perfekt läge en bit utanför stan. Vi uppskattade lugnet och poolen mycket. Nära till stranden och stan dock. Välutrustad lgh, och skönt med fläktar i varje rum.
