"We booked the hotel last minute, which means we only had the choice of their last room available, a standard room. Whilst the room was their cheapest, we were fine. However, the rest of the hotel was faultless from arrival to leaving.The location of the hotel was probably the best location of all the hotels as it was near to everything that we required. "

"We had a brilliant stay! Staff were fantastic and room was very comfy. Food was delicious - we saw some subpar reviews of the food but really don't know what more people could want, especially on a small island where everything is imported! We had a fantastic time and will be back! "

"Lovely room, all you needed for a short stay. Good location and lovely view of the marina "

"We stayed at Vila Verde for 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year in a huge apartment. It has a very relaxed and chilled out feel in the complex, an others mentioned parts need updating but this is being done. The staff are all polite and friendly from the security guards cheering me on my morning run to the reception staff being so helpful and the housekeeping services ensuring our room was always spotlessly clean. It’s a short walk, hotel shuttle or a €5 taxi to the hustle and bustle of Santa Maria where there’s lots to see and do. There is also a private beach which is quiet and peaceful too. We would definitely recommend and return here as it’s just the peaceful relaxing stay we were wanting."

"It was how spread out and spacious the resort was "

"Our host Lucia and her Senegalese friend were extremely friendly and helpful, and they made our stay in Sal great. The first night we slept in a shared dorm which was a bit cramped and didn't have enough electric outlets to comfortably charge devices. It was also hard for everyone to keep the shared bathroom floors clean from sand and dirt with only mops as the showers frequently splashed lots of water. The second night we got a smaller room that we shared with two other people and that night was a lot more comfortable. The top floor shared spaces and kitchen were superb. The breakfast was great! Muito obrigado to both of you! :) "

"The room was amazing and the front desk service. The only bad experience was the dinning area and bar. The staff are not trained the right way and lack customer service "
