Family-friendly Hotels in Santa Maria

Firstly I would like to say Thank you to all at Rui Funana, It wasn’t the the smoothest of starts but the staff of Rui Funana were first class. After a 4 hour delay at Gatwick we arrived at Rui Funana just after midnight, we were checked in & offered for someone to take our bags, we declined thinking that it would just be quicker & less hassle to do it ourselves. We were given our room number. It was a short walk to block 8. Once we found our room we opened the door to find some guests already asleep in there. We closed the door quietly and laughed to ourselves how we must have got the wrong room, after double checking & the other guests locking the door for no more interruptions we proceeded back to reception to report that there were already occupants in the room. The staff on reception were very apologetic & upgraded our room which was a bit closer in block 9. The room was lovely, but after a couple of days we woke up on the Monday morning to a flooded bathroom, the air con system had leaked through the ceiling, we reported the fault & were told that it would be fixed (no stress) we went out for the day & came back to the room all cleaned up & decorated for our anniversary we went to one of the a la carte restaurants to celebrate our anniversary, we were made to feel special & we thoroughly enjoyed the meal & especially when the staff then sang happy birthday to my wife 🤣 great night. That night & the next we had the same issue with the air con system flooding our bathroom in the end the staff moved us to another room which had 3 bottles of Prosecco in the fridge. The staff were great they made our room up everyday with different towel arrangements & decorations. I said to my wife that you can tell how good a hotel is by the way they deal with problems, Rui Funana were first class ! We would like to thank all the restaurant staff, especially Jacira Cruz who made us feel very welcome and was so attentive, she is an asset to your hotel. Everyone works very hard at the hotel & are always happy & friendly. I’ve rambled on enough, I’ve even bored myself. Thank you for a fantastic holiday even with the adventures, we will be back xx

The best hotel in the whole island of Sal, except for Riu, is Hilton. Unfortunately, there is no Riu at the time of booking, but Hilton is very new, the decoration is very beautiful, and the facilities in the room are very modern. The hotel swimming pool is very large, the beach is outside, the greening is very good, the photo is beautiful, but the room is a little far from the beach, only half of the sea view room.

Can’t complain! Was a good beautiful hotel with plenty of food and drinks for all guests! Very easy to get there from the airport and everyone speaks English if you don’t speak the native language or similar. Most requests are done via their handy app which is easy to navigate and all inclusive is true to the name! You only pay for anything extra such as treatments in the Spa or items from the shop located on site otherwise everything else is included in the cost of your stay! I would have preferred more options for the 24hr “snack/food option” but this was only used out of hours so not many times for me.
