I stayed here for one night before catching a flight to another island. At €100 per night – the most expensive rate I’ve paid on Cape Verde – it was a huge disappointment. As a Gold Member on Expedia, I was promised a bottle of sparkling wine, which was missing. Instead, my room came with a cockroach (photo attached). Maybe it drank the wine for me. The air conditioning didn’t work, the shower drain was clogged, and mosquitoes thrived in the stagnant water. Housekeeping seemed questionable too – the first thing I saw was a squished mosquito smeared on the wall. When I asked for another room, the night porter said the hotel was fully booked. For one night, it’s manageable, but for this price, you’d expect better. Breakfast was fine, though I never got my omelet after waiting 30 minutes. The cockroach, however, met its end and became a feast for ants by morning. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel – it’s way overpriced and feels too "eco-friendly" for comfort.

A recommander pour un séjour à Santa Maria

Hôtel propre, équipements en bon état, les chambres sont spacieuses (coin salon, balcon donnant sur la piscine). La piscine est très agréable. Petit déjeuner très correct. Le personnel est aux petits soins. Le quartier est calme, en retrait de la zone touristique mais en 5 minutes vous êtes sur la grande rue piétonne et ses multiples bars, restos et magasins.

Good location great value nice people

Organised an airport transfer but no one came to collect, luckily there was a night guard who could still check us in and we did get a free upgrade. Also extending the stay was very easy. Location is good very near the beach and room condition was great also. Would recommend

Good hotel but lacking in some areas

Nice enough hotel just a short walk to the centre of the town. First night there was a loud buzzing from electricity box that kept me up all night. That was sorted the next day. I had 2 VIP Gold offers on my account. They failed to provide either of them. Didn’t receive a bottle of sparkling wine on checkin. Indeed they charged me €2 for a bottle of water. I was also entitled to free late checkout. They refused unless I paid €25 (so there was obviously availability). The shower seems to run out of hot water by 9am. So I couldn’t shower before checking out. It’s ok for the price, but might be worth ignoring any Gold benefits offered (you won’t get them) and paying a bit more to stay somewhere else.

Average

Breakfast spread was really scanty. On my last morning we literally only had bread, egg, cheese. No bacon, no sausages, no cereal, no fresh juice, no yoghurt I couldn’t sit in my ground floor room balcony because water from the AC units in the top rooms was channeled to my balcony. Disgusting.

Lovely stay! Clean, modern, beautiful hotel. Lovely location, close to the beach and some great restaurants but out the way enough that you feel like one of the locals. Really happy friendly staff, from reception, kitchen to house keeping. Everyone says good morning and couldn’t help you enough! Towels were provided everyday, aircon worked beautifully, shower was lovely, beds really comfy. I can’t fault our stay if I tried. And I would definitely consider staying again!

I stayed at Hotel Da Luz for a week, the hotel has been recemtly refurbished to a high standard, my room was clean and kept clean throughout the week. The staff were attentive and helpful, ordering me taxis when needed and answering my questions. Breakfast was a fairly standard continental one but for the cheap price i paid for they stay was better than expected. Angulo beach bar is just a few minutes away where you can hire paddle boards and windsurfers etc, swim or just chill at the bar. I would recommend this hotel, very good value for money and would definately stay there again.
