Hotels in Prainha, Praia

After passing through an impressive foyer the rest of this hotel has the ambiance of a prison with austere concrete, minimal landscaping, surly staff (especially in reception) plus security guards much in evidence. It is really a business hotel with minimal facilities for leisure travellers. A miserly 50ml bottle of water supplied on Day 1. Then had to buy water at the bar as no shops in the area. Much needed as tap water not potable and it reached 30 deg on some days in January (the coolest month). The other Cape Verde hotel I stayed (on Sal) provided 1.5ml on day 1. I had a superior sea view room so did have a large balcony. The other rooms had very little outside space. Not a problem if you are on business but not if staying for a few days as a tourist. The swimming pool is surrounded by crumbling concrete and loose slabs. There is no information supplied anywhere about any aspect of the hotel such as times of meals or facilities (except the cost of times in the minibar). The three restaurants each function at different times for the different meals. The breakfast was good quality and varied. ‘Normal black tea bags’ were stored behind the counter and only issued on request. Politely requesting lemon for my tea was met with a shrug except on day 5. Noisy parties were held in this room for birthdays etc in the evening. Bedrooms in great need of refurbishment with tiles almost coming off the wall of the shower area. My shower which had a mechanical problem reported on day 1 was never fixed, and the water always luke warm in all rooms. One day the hotel’s old infrastructure failed so no water at all for a while. Located on the far outskirts of Praia with very little to see or do in the area as it is mainly housing on busy roads.

The people in the room upstairs were running around. The people in the next room were noisy. The room itself was great but noise insulation should be better. There were no elevators or ramps to get heavy bags up and down. Breakfast was great. All around the food was great. Local grilled fish for lunch was fantastic. Hotel staff were pretty good though sometimes did not give their full attention. The pool area was a feature. Very handy location.

Foi uma excelente escolha, ainda bem que escolhi este hotel! Recebida com um sorriso, todo o staff acolhedor, senti me em casa. Adorei esta experiência neste hotel, a simpatia, limpeza, comodidades Situado na Achada de Santo António, um bairro simpático, calmo e com tudo, bancos, farmácia, restaurantes, pastelarias, supermercados, livraria e a 5 minutos a pé da prainha. Recomendo que fiquem neste adorável hotel, principalmente o staff, por terem proporcionado um maravilhosa estadia.

We have stayed at this hotel several times after coming to Cape Verde for 17 years, the first time being when it first opened. We have always been totally satisfied with it but felt disappointed this time. We stayed for 2 nights at the start of our holiday before going to another island and 1 night at the end of our holiday. In the first room we couldn't change channels on the tv because it had moved within the wooden frame so the remote couldn't find the signal. The beds weren't very comfy, felt old and tired, there was no plug for the kettle, we had to either unplug the fridge or put the kettle on the floor by the window. When we went for breakfast the staff member was very unfriendly and there was no one to make fresh eggs. We asked if there was any fresh bread & she just said no. The coffee was lukewarm. The pool and pool area were good but we had to wait ages for staff at the bar to get a drink and to get a towel for the loungers. During our last stay before flying home we were relaxing by the pool, again waiting for a drink, and a loud group arrived, singing, dancing & drinking (the staff had arrived by this time) and being very loud. They weren't aggressive but we felt very uncomfortable and decided to leave. Such a shame as we have always enjoyed our previous stays but we both said we wouldn't stay there again in future.

We stayed here twice during our family holidays to Cape Verde Islands with our grown up kids. Our 2 rooms were very comfortable, the beds quite new and we had good sleeps. The last stay we got an upgrade. The staff did a lot to accommodate our wishes. The pool on the top terrace has a beautiful view of the ocean and Praia. Location is close to sights. At night not recommended to walk from there as the area may be a little insecure after dark.

Maybe I have never lived in a foreign hotel, which is a bit rare. The room does not have disposable items, such as toothbrushes, combs, small toothpaste, slippers, and a small piece of soap and body soap. There are floor towels, bath towels, towels, and hair dryers. The overall area of the room type is OK, but there is a lot of invalid space. There are rocking chairs and two sofas, no balcony, floor-to-ceiling windows are large but the window is a building and there is no view. The room is also equipped with a safe and minibar. Remind friends that the power socket is European standard, so prepare the conversion head in advance or find the hotel. It is recommended to bring your own, domestic brand, bull, convenient and easy to use. The product is as follows. For example, the vacation or stay for a long time, it is recommended to prepare a plug-in board for your own use. The front desk brother is very good, can use English to do simple communication with you, help me solve many problems. Everyone must be mentally prepared, the locals are Portuguese, and some service industry personnel can speak English.

The hotel is very clean and well equipped for the price. Negative points: The hotel is located outside Praia, which requires taking a taxi every time to go to town or visit something. The breakfast is more than a limit, it doesn't deserve a 4-star, there were just 3 pieces of fruit (which did not very much like), small breads, no cooking or butter, soluble coffee. The hotel is a very nice hotel, and it is a very nice hotel. According to the noises we heard, they entered the room next to ours in order to cambriolar, then they descended from a floor and we heard very violent alterations with many people who cried, Then we were not in safety. The next day we asked the reception what happened, the lady tried to disrupt the case. We still decide to leave the hotel for our safety.
