This was our first trip to Cape Verde. The hotel is situated in a beautiful area of Boa Vista, only 5 mins from the airport (barely heard a plane), only 15 mins from Sal Rei and the beach was mostly empty with stunning sunset views from the lobby bar. Overall the food was excellent- fresh fish, salads, fruit, local food, and an impressive variety of international cuisine. The animation team presented a great variety of activities all week. Most importantly they brought a real personality to the hotel and helped create a Cape Verde vibe (Island dance shows were a highlight!). The chefs, reception, bar and room staff were also very helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable with sweet little decorations every now and then. In December the temperature is warm but the winds cool it a little and keep the climate a drier and more comfortable. We would recommend Occidental for a more traditional and personal Cape Verde experience. Thank you Occidental!
