Murdeira Village Resort

Take with a pinch of salt Accommodation is very dated. Website photos do not reflect the hotel. Many of the properties on the resort are old and dilapidated. Wifi in room was the worst I have experienced in the last 10 years and we was lied to about this. For example you will have Wi-Fi on the sofa but less than three metres away you can’t use Wi-Fi in the bed to make a phone call. It was that bad. It was explained as a blackout across Cape Verde however good internet in bar area and other parts of Sal. Friendly and helpful staff especially Duke and the restaurant and bar staff. Free shuttle to Santa Maria twice a day was useful.

A lovely restaurant with beautiful sea views and a calm, relaxing atmosphere. The menu is clearly aimed at tourists, so we were a bit disappointed not to find any traditional Cape Verdean dishes. That said, the food was genuinely tasty. The burger was one of the best I’ve ever had! Staff were friendly and attentive throughout our visit. You can also order food and drinks poolside during the day, which is a nice touch. If you can, try to time your visit around sunset. The views are stunning and add to the experience.

Lovely little stay by the sea I had a really lovely stay here for 4 nights on a solo trip. Gorgeous location, really handy free shuttle into Santa Maria a couple of times a day and easy to book a (paid) transfer to and from the airport. Food is off a menu for breakfast and dinner (I opted for half board) good quality and large portions. Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful.

The place is falling apart. Dirty cushions in the bar, broken bin lids, electric sockets loose in the wall. Unfriendly receptionist. It was fine for one night but no more

Unteasonable Following the Heathrow fire and closure, we were unable to get to the hotel as planned. We tried to contact the hotel to let them know but no answer on the phone or by email. When we asked for a refund it was refused

Repas insipide mais service rapide. Réceptionniste qui faisait la tête à l'arrivée et au départ. Très grosse structure, c est pas notre truc.
