Wonderful villa with great and clean rooms + nice staff. Laundry service is great. Additionally, nice to have: free mini bar drinks.
Great breakfast with changing options e.g. one morning they made mini banana pancakes, the next morning toasts with cheese (and unfortunately ham).

Very cosy little town with nice beach and friendly local people. You can eat very affordable in local bars/restaurants or choose European food in couple of restaurants. The center is quite small, so you walk around easy. Beach is nice and not too much people.

Amazing beach, friendly people, very nice "city" to walk around. Not much to do there so a couple of days are enough to get to know the place, but can't hurt to stay longer and just relax at the beach that is AMAZING!
You can eat at Cegonha, Buzios or at the Vista Mar hotel restaurant next to the beach!
Seafood and fish is really fresh.

IF you are stuck in Praia, do like the locals and go to Tarrafal for the weekend. Its beach beats anything you find in Praia. If you are a diver and conditions are too poor in the south, look for Santiago diving and have a great dive.
Even the trip there is amazing with impressive mountains. Take a taxi for 60 Euro's or a bus for 5 euro per person, departing from the Sucopira Market.
For the rest, its just a cute little town.
This is a simple guesthouse but it has everything enough for a pleasant stay. Great location, view of the sea direct from the balcony (take a room with the sea view!) and sleeping with the sound of waves. A few steps to the beach and Tarrafal's central square.
Nice, clean and well-ventilated room. Some previous guests complained about lack of glass in windows but we found wooden shutters perfectly OK and even when closed they let a lot of daylight.
Breakfast included i.a. fresh papaya and was served on the roof terrace, with great views.
The sea view swimming pool was very clean and nice to swim in. The Building is very modern and clean. The Garden is very beautiful. However, the biggest asset of the hotel is the extremly friendly staff. The Breakfast is Served on the ocean front Restaurant and is delicious. You can snorkel, scuba dive and fish Right in Front of the Hotel. The best white Sand and coconut tree Beach on the whole Island is in walking distance. The People in the nearby village are very friendly. It is a very Safe Place.
THE place to be in Tarrafal! Where you meet fellow travelers! Central location, close to everything: beach, shops, restaurants, shared taxi station, markets...etc. Staff is extremely helpful, constantly cleaning, fixing, socializing and making sure we have everything we need. Delicious and nutritious breakfast, you get to order how you want your eggs cooked. Spacious, clean, sunny room with a large balcony. Comfortable couches in the common areas. Really enjoyed my stay there!
