We really enjoyed staying at Vila do Farol. The structure needs some renovation and the wi-fi is terrible, BUT the location was perfect for us, just a 10/15 minute walk from the town of Santa Maria via boardwalk, so quiet, but close enough to entertainment. The beach is immense, the hotel is not one of those multi-storey monsters... from the beach you just see the palm trees. Last but not least... we loved the food!!!! Very relaxing :)

Gepflegte und saubere Anlage. Zimmer sind auf das Minimum beschränkt. Es stehen aber Renovierungsarbeiten an,die wirklich notwendig sind. Anzahl der Sonnenliegen ist wirklich ausreichend. Animation ausschließlich auf italienisch aber von uns aus deswegen kein Minuspunkt. Verpflegung war auch gut. Hervorheben möchte ich noch das Galadinner ,bei dem das Buffet so toll und liebevoll angerichtet war.

Italia em Cabo verde
Direccionado a iralianos. Equipa animação nem fala outra língua ( para mim positivo, pois nem chateiam). Comida muito boa e variada, excepto no lanche que é sempre pizza. Todos os funcionários (não animação) são super simpáticos e muito trabalhadores. As zonas comuns já precisam de ser renovadas. Quartos em casinhas simpáticas, mas na última noite percebemos que se vizinho barulhento, ouve-se tudo.

Un séjour enchanteur vraiment....l'hôtel est super propre, la nourriture des buffet excellente, le personnel est super gentil, la plage est magnifique.Cet hôtel a vraiment un style colonial. Certes un peu désuet mais c'est ce qui fait son charme ! Les cabanons sont propres et spacieux et climatisés mais mal insonorisés...! Le seul hic : club italien et on ne parlait pas un mot d'italien !!!! Mais les animateurs font beaucoup d'effort pour intégrer tout le monde et ça c'est chouette !!!!! Nous y reviendrons avec plaisir ! Merci

Super vacances
Le personnel est très accueillant, très aimable et très efficace. Les chambres sont de petites maisonnettes appondues ce qui donne un petit quartier familial très agréable, elles sont confortables et fonctionnelles, la literie est très bonne, la climatisation est assez bruyante, le ménage est fait tous les jours. Nous avons aimé aussi tout ce qui est de la restauration (variée et bonne). Grande piscine d'eau salée très propre. L'équipe d'animation est très sympathique et bien que ne parlant pas italien nous avons bcp apprécié. Nous avons loué une voiture par leur entremise, attention il faut du cash (euros ou escudos) pas de carte de crédit. Le wifi est très aléatoire mais on peut acheter une carte avec crédit téléphone et Go. Une petite boutique épicerie avec bonbons, chips, glaces, biscuits et petits articles de plage (bouée, jeux de sable...) serait bienvenue !

Struttura che decisamente ha bisogno di una ristrutturazione ma il posto è bello e comodopiscina con acqua salata, bella vista ed a metà strada tra la citta e la spiaggia infinita, cibo con ampia scelta e buono.

Detta ställe är verkligen inget 4 stjärnigt boende. Möjligen 3 enligt ”afrikansk standard”. Det är ett italienskt ställe för italienare främst! Gillar du att bo på Disneyland så passar detta utmärkt, annars välj om möjligt andra boende alternativ.

Personale cordiale, cibo vario e di buona qualità. La struttura, comunque pulita e ben fornita, necessiterebbe di una ristrutturazione (camere e spazi comuni un po' datati). I servizi sono vari, campi da beach volley, bocce, basket, tennis e supportati dall organizzazione dei ragazzi dell' animazione. Da valorizzare maggiormente la spiaggia (es. Punto bar, paravento per i lettini al pari delle altre strutture).

beau séjour
Séjour de 2 semaines dans ce petit village de bungalow au milieu de fleurs et de palmiers. Bien loin des gros complexes hôteliers qui manquent d'âme. Tout est très bien entretenu, la nourriture sous forme de buffet est très variée. Personnel charmant et attentionné.

Déçu de l’hotel,
Cafard fourmis retrouvés dans la chambre
On m’a changé de chambre et toujours le même problème. J’en ai informé le responsable il ne pouvait rien faire. Aucun geste commercial.
Bouteille d’eau 2€ (je bois beaucoup donc ça monte vite la note)
Plage à côté mais l’hôtel est devant un grand terrain vide et après seulement il y a la plage.
Chambre très vieille,
Lit pas confortable. Pas de confort
Le seul point positif le restaurant très bon
