    Don't stay there

    The room on ground floor is noisy, dark, the bed is broken, very unpleasant to sleep on. On arrival we have been promised to move to the 1st floor on the day after, but it never happened. If you want fresh towels or fresh sheets or your room to be clean you have to ask for it, otherwise will never happen!!The shower is rusty, and the shower curtain is very dirty! I don't recommend to stay at Dorada studios.

    Our booking was clearly indicated that there would be 2 double beds with a ocean view terrace. They first showed us a room with one double bed, which were didn't accept, they there was a room with no lights and finally we were given a room with 2 double beds with a 1x1m terrace which was 1m away from another tall building with no view. The beds were unconfortable and broken and the sheets were not clean.

    j’aurais du me mĂ©fier des commentaires agressifs du propriĂ©taire. Oui je sais que le Cap Very est un pays modeste, et que l’üle de Sal peut ĂȘtre onĂ©reuse par rapport Ă  d’autres Ăźles de l’archipel. certes la nuitĂ©e pour Sal est bon marchĂ©, rien Ă  redire dessus. mais quel endroit horrible. Les serviettes sales, le lit inconfortable, les draps douteux.... la personne de la rĂ©ception est serviable et gentille.

    Bon rapport qualité prix.

    Il s'agit d'un 2 étoiles au Cap vert donc il faut s'attendre à un 1 étoile cÎte européen. Studio spacieux, manque de quoi cuisiner mais avec tt ce qui se trouve ds les alentours cela pose pas de problÚme. Il n'y à pas d'accueil mais le joignable par contact téléphonique a tout moment. Bref. BON SEJOUR !
