The atmosphere and landscaping looks really great. However, we couldn’t make reservations for dinner because they were always full, minutes after opening time. It was nearly impossible to get hot water in our villa so we took cold showers every night. Lastly, none of the bars would make any drinks without alcohol. For being “all inclusive” they only mean for people who drink alcohol. We stayed in a hotel in Praia that had burning hot water and was a fraction of the cost. I won’t be staying here again.

WiFi is only available in the bar or pool area, not in room. Weak WiFi reception whenever it was available. Long wait time (2 hours) for dinner although reservation was made. You are required to make a dinner reservation however there was no availability to even make a reservation in advance as all restaurants were completely reserved. Housekeeping cleaning was incredibly poor. Trash was not taken out for days, small bugs crawling everywhere, same unclean sheets were being used to make the bed even though requested for new clean sheets. TV cable and phone service stopped working. There is an extra charge for pool/beach towels even with all inclusive. Overall a poor experience and one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed at.

Like all hotels there was good and bad..... but overall good value for a family of four: *Nice grounds, all buildings only 2 storey so felt homely and nice that there is a choice of a noisy or a quiet pool. Pools were a bit too cold but got in eventually. *Sunbed reservation/usage caused friction amongst the guests as there were not enough for all guests at peak times whilst others where reserved with towels but unused for hours. Think this needs to be resolved as lying in the sun is what a Cape Verde holiday is all about. *Aqua restaurant was lovely, Grill was good with nice setting, whilst the other 2 were fine with lots of choice - our teenage boys said best cooked meat ever! *Good drinks range - lovely cava, red wine and cocktails. Beer, white wine and rose not so good. *Used the gym daily but 3 of the 5 machines were broken for the whole time (reported this on day 1), however they are dependent on an external company coming to fix them. *Our air conditioning unit went wrong and they arrived within 10 mins of reporting it and fixed it soon after. *Very appreciative of the daily maid service who made our beds - thank you! Staff were mostly lovely especially the bar staff. Would stay there again.

Perfect family holiday
On arrival, we were greeted with fruit cocktails as we booked in. We were taken by buggy down to our accommodation overlooking the pool which was spacious, clean and well presented. We were travelling as a party of four with two adults and two teenagers. There was free wifi in the apartment which the teenagers were very pleased about and we could even get wifi on the beach! There were four restaurant, three of which you need to book for evening meal and we would recommend that you book for the week on the day you arrive. Our favourite was O'Grill, which was on the beach. Others liked Waterside restaurant and Aqua restaurant. Spices buffet restaurant always had plenty of choice and space and doesn't need to be booked. The food was very good quality and quantity. Drinks were always available from the main three bars and they make a lovely cup of coffee in the Sway bar by reception. If you want a good trip out then go and see Fransisco by the Beach Bar (He usually had a yellow top on and wooly hat). Island tour is a must although prepare for a few added expenses to get into some locations and for lunch. Takes pens, paper etc and anything for the children in the Shanty Town if you go there. There were always sunbeds available whether by the pool or on the beach which are included in the price but take pegs for your towels as it may be windy. The staff were always polite and helpful. We would love to go back again.

Short winter sun break
Good hotel location, good beach and several pools to use. Food excellent with very helpful and friendly staff. The accommodation whilst acceptable is of a UK 3star standard, basic comfort similar to a travel inn. The constant all year round wind that these islands are known for detracts from the glorious sunshine.

1st and last time in an “all inclusive” resort
- Ineffective cleaning, having found tables and shelves in the housing unit with layer of dust and areas to be cleaned under furniture; - Poor comfort, given that the beds were not ready for the coolest weather felt during our stay and one of the rooms had no AC unit; - Facilities not according to the advertised category of the hotel unit given the poor maintenance and already evident aging of the structure, without the existence of, for example, a full body mirror, in room tea and coffee facilities, and the existence of sheets with holes; - Employees, most of them cordial but not very active in customer service, and most of the times disorganized and with evident lack of training; - Low quality-price ratio, with the clear intention to show variety in detriment of quality, both in the quality of materials and spaces, and in its aesthetic treatment, and in the food and beverages available, where imported canned goods have almost taken over the place of fresh and local products, not to mention drinks included in the concept with indescribable quality; - Free Wi-Fi extremely unstable and unavailable for long periods; - Food in a 5* hotel cannot contain canned fruit, unnatural juices, industrial pastries, poor selection of bread and wines, table paths in poor condition and not replaced after each use, poorly cleaned tables with vestiges of food remains from previous users, dirty floors and impossible to sanitize (for example in dining rooms with floorboards with interstice slits)

Close to a nice beach
The staff are very friendly and cheerful. The room is cleaned every day and clean towels are provided. The bedding seemed to be changed each day too. The room we had was a two bedroomed to bathroom apartment. It was spacious. There was a microwave and a cooker. But on arrival there were no cups or spoons or glasses. There was air con in the lounge and the double bedroom. I had the twin room and I was surprised to find I had no air con in my room. I wondered why I should not need it, I am an adult and the same as the guests in the double room. This meant I had to sleep with the window open, which was still warm, but the mosquitoes came to visit me. I was too hot with the window closed. The food was plenty in the main dining room called Spices. There were 3 other restaurants, which keeps the same menu all the time. We were there for 3 weeks, it gets boring, so mostly we used Spices Restaurant. The entertainment was dire. It was very repetitive and there was no variation to the type of entertainment. There were on just 2 occasions in the 3 weeks that we were entertained. The bars are nice and on the all inclusive band you can get cocktails. The beach was very nice, but the sunbeds were the most uncomfortable I have ever laid on, so I chose to lay on the sand. The beach towels are provided and they are good quality, soft and big. This place is perfect if you want to do nothing on your holiday.

Compact complex with great staff interaction
Just returned from Cape Verde. Island is very poor and appreciates a little extra in way of tips or sweeties/crayons/books for children. Tortuga Beach was wonderful. No stress is the catchword!! Unlike the neighbouring very large soulless complexes next door, this was a great little find. Still large enough to be quiet but everything to hand. Once the AI band is on -its enjoy yourself all the way. Very impressed the size of the rooms - had apartment 307 - upper floor right by reception but not noisy. 2 bed 2 baths and a kitchen. OK kitchen wasn't equipped, except for a kettle and a fridge - but why would you want to cook on an AI holiday!?! All kept clean by the ladies that do...!! Food was plentiful in all eating areas. Something for everyone and all tastes. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would certainly return to this hotel. But remember to take your midge repellents. They will try to eat you. Saw some terrible bites on people.. mostly bitten by the beach area of resort - which again is very picturesque. Great holiday. Thank you.
