Need to fix booking if more than 2 people.

I selected 3 adults when I book this hotel. When we got there, they had a room with 1 double bed. We explained to them over and over that we need places for 3 adults. We asked if they could bring in an additional bed or give us a room with 2 beds. They charged us and additional $30 and took us up to a room that had 2 twin beds (space for 2 people to sleep). We explained again, as we were pointing to all 3 of us, that we need a place for 3 people to sleep. They said they would give us back our original room and bring in an extra bed (what we had asked for when we first found out that there was only 1 bed). We waited around for a while, then decided we needed to get dinner (it was already late). We left our room and found a bed by the elevator. After dinner we went back to the hotel and the bed was outside our room. I put it in our room and a while later someone showed up and they weren't happy that I put the bed in our room, they wanted to do it. In the end it worked out, but double, or triple, check if you plan on sleeping more than 2 people in a room.

Enjoyable Stay

We enjoyed our stay. The staff spoke English well, and everyone was very helpful. The breakfast buffet was excellent. This hotel is in the middle of the city, where it may be less safe for tourists, but the city has guards on every corner to keep us safe. It is close to Quebra Canela Beach and many shops.

Great location, wifi - not so much.

Security great, location is great. Hotel manager, no where to be found when there's an issue. Wifi is bad, and hotel staff is aware of it - hasn't fixed it satisfactorily. Avoid the restaurant waiter with booze on his breath - they'll mess up your dinner order. Hotel knew about him too.

My Ferry from Fogo Island to Santiago Island was cancelled the day I was supposed to travel so I showed up at the hotel a day late and as I did not have any internet connection to communicate with the hotel from Brava Island. They were kind enough to allow me to check in for a few hours when I showed up a day late so that I could get a shower & have a little rest before my flight out that night. I give them 5 stars for this but I also note that this was not high season.& I am grateful for them accommodating me!
