Hotel Vip Praia

We liked the location because it was safe, easy to catch a taxi, go to the beach or walk to other restaurants around it. The hotel serves a big and delicious breakfast. The servers were amazing! The staff at reception and janitors were professionals, friendly, knowledgeable, and always answered to our requests. I give them 10 out 10! The size of my room was great to a rate of 4, the view excellent 4, the bathroom was OK to a 2 out 4 and the facilities 3 out 4 for bonus.

When we arrived in Praia, they put us in a room where the water was flooding the entire room. After complaining about the situation, they moved us to a better room. We experienced water problems on an island where the weather was really hot. There was a day we waited longer to get on the shower or use the bathroom. Also, the hot shower was short because the warm water stopped in the middle of our shower. My recommendation to the hotel manager is to fix the water problem.

Location was fabulous, shopping next door. Supermarket downstairs in shopping mall. Try Taco restaurant for great meals and fabulous service. Loads of snack places next door in shopping mall for children and you of course, but you must try the excellent home cooking of the African stall at the end of the small food places ; . Cooked while you wait and excellent Value for money in fact so cheap ! Taxis outside at your disposal or take the bus into town or surrounding areas. Great experience bus hopping and only 43 escudos ! Great beach nearby, four other restaurants but found Oysters the best in terms of amazing service and food, never mind the desserts ! Yum ! Beer is so cheap especially the local beer strella ! Hotel Reception staff and restaurant staff amazing so helpful, smiling faces at all hours ! Great choice of breakfast too. Didn't stay in for lunch or dinner too busy seeing the sites ! Did a mountain journey by taxi....oh my goodness what an experience, saw and visited the country people, real Cape Verde culture ! Warm hospitable and immaculately clean homes for the little they have. Mountain drive a bit scary as no barriers on sides of roads ! All in all had a great time.

The fact the spa pool wasn't open at the time we visiited but pool gorgeous and great view too.

This is my 3rd time staying there, always meet my expectations great vibes around the hotel, My kids enjoyed the pool great view.

One thing I'd say about this hotel it the room they need more options for a big family, when I was there I'd always prefer suite I am family of 4 I didn't want to have my kids on separate room but unfortunately that's only way could be done. I feel more safe when i have them with me no in separate room.

We very much enjoyed the stay, with nice view, great rooftop swimming pool with jacuzzi, and convenient location right next to the shopping mall. Staff were also nice and friendly. We'd stay here again in the future.

The TV and AC remote controllers didn't work well, but as we didn't need to use them, it didn't bother us, nor did we flag to the hotel staff.

location and comfort.

Breakfast was mediocre. Not many choices, no juices for those who don’t like coffee. The plates were desserts plates and not dinner plates. Breakfast was very poor. There is no plan to cater to tourists who prefer a western breakfast. This is the fourth time I stayed there. If it was for the breakfast, I would never go back.

The pool area is a 10 for me it's not to deep 5ft great food/options/drinks very good breakfast was yummy and you can order would your eggs to our preference. Originally we were placed in a room that the Air conditioner did not work. But the Staff was amazing and moved us the next day. Room PROS-great storage space, SQFT, lighting, my room had a great view so I can't complain.

The hotel needs a renovation for the price I paid it did not meet my expectations, Needs new Coat of fresh paint, your can see patches work on the walls, hinges on the windows need attention some WD40,TV not working properly, you can see the bath/Shower stalls need to be relined and adding a shower door my be pushing it but privacy is always welcomed I could not open the door for friends, staff if my friend was in the shower.

The entire staff was very professional, friendly and courteous. They are the assets, the gems of the hotel. I would return to the hotel mainly because of the wonderful staff.

Rooms did not have toiletries like soap, shampoo etc. Also had to request second set of towels for each of the four rooms we used as a family. It was two people per room and only one bath and face towel. After our calls, the towels were provided to two rooms without problems but the other two rooms we still had to call daily.

location was great with good proximity to other activities. staff were very helpful and friendly.

the shower head didn’t change over (we only had the handle). The shower handles were coming out of the wall. There was nothing to make hot water or coffee in the room. The pillows were very thin.

I love the property closed to a lot of great restaurants and very closed to the beach. Huge window that opens with the shades overlooking the ocean good bed to sleep. Lots of glass around the property also is a plus doesn’t make you feel trap in the hotel. Terraces pool and bar with magnificent view of the ocean and all around the city. Closed to alot of great places to eat and listen to live music. Definitely my new favorite place to stay in Praia I will return soon. Love the place.

A little bit smell of the ocean dump that happened long time ago in the lobby area but I understood that the cleanup is in full force to restore the beach around the property. No smell in the rooms and around the property.

Excellent staff, cleanliness, and location
