Hotel Morabeza

Perfect location, great beach & pool area, very good food, most of the staff friendly (at least after some days in the hotel the warm up…)

The staff extraordinary . All at reception go well beyond the call of duty to assure your comfort . The kindness and courtesy priceless . Brilliant buffet breakfast : same every day , but enough variety that one can mix it up and have diff b’fast each day - if wish . Massage was delightful . Location , location , location ! Three pools to choose from : now it was the Windy season - chose my pool accordingly . Morabeza is the original , it is the oldest hotel on Sal . The architecture harks back to bygone eras , she is not the latest - greatest - shiniest - hippest place : she is an old lady with all her charms .

Location was excellent for walking into Santa Maria and very close to the beach. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Room had everything I needed for my stay (kettle, fridge & air conditioning as it was very hot/humid). Breakfast buffet was good, had lots of choice, beware the small birds will try to eat your food if you're not looking! The hotel has guest services, which run daily activities and can borrow beach towels from them but I didn't use these services during my short stay. The hotel offers transfer to and from the airport but you have to book this in advance; it is convenient and a good price. They also offer luggage storage after check-out and kindly let me use the courtesy room for a quick shower before my flight home in the evening.

Hotel Morabeza was situated in beautiful grounds, in a central location near to small shops and local market. There was a choice of ceiling fan or air conditioner in the room and wi-fi was provided plus tea and coffee making facilities and small fridge. The lovely beach was just a couple of minutes' walk away. The hotel had a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere and provided a buffet breakfast with a wide variety of food, cooked or cold with pastries and muffins freshly baked on the premises. The food provided in the evening was also very good. The staff were always polite and helpful. Any small complaint was dealt with almost immediately. We particularly enjoyed the Saturday evening entertainment at the hotel of a live Cabo Verdian band and and display of Cabo Verdian dancing. The hotel kept in touch with us after we made the booking to let us know that we could contact them for any qyeries, and they booked a taxi fo transfer us from the airport. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in the area.

The hotel staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and courtesy, contributing to an overall positive experience. The hotel's location was highly convenient and offered easy access to various amenities. The hotel's aesthetic appeal and well-maintained facilities further enhanced the overall experience.
