Spacious, modern and comfortable rooms. Great cleaning service on a daily basis. Delicious breakfast with various choices. Super friendly staff and very helpful support by Dory for clarifying important details beforehand and organizing individual activities and transfers. Great location, 2 min walk from the most beautiful beach on Sal. Would highly recommend for an individual stay on Sal, instead of resort holidays.

Only in case you have a light sleep and want to rest before midnight: be aware of the loud music and noises until midnight, due to the restaurant / bar / club downstairs. However, that was clearly communicated beforehand and did not bother us. More hangers and hooks in the apartment (for towels, jackets) would have been even better.

Hotel: Ocean Suites is much more than a hotel. The service and attention that you as a customer receive every day is great🤩. I stayed in room 2 (for me one of the nicest room)😌. The room was large, with good working air conditioning and a beautiful view of the popular square and main street.The servers were friendly one by one and want to do everything for you "NO STRESS". And every evening there is live music downstairs in the restaurant with good music. You dance💃🏾 until you can't feel your feet anymore (haha). For your safety, a security guard is present every night and after an evening out he will bring you safely to the entrance so that you can safely return to your room. Breakfast ,lunch and diner: Every morning I could choose between 3 different breakfast menus (American🥓, Cape Verde🫘 and Mediterranean🍅). All three were tasty and you get a lot! You can also enjoy a delicious meal there (lunch and dinner). Try their burger🍔 (one of the tastiest burgers in Cabo Verde!)🤌🏽.  The beach and the famous pier are a 3-minute walk from the hotel! All famous cafes and restaurants are a 5 or 6 minute walk from the hotel. If you want to save money, book all activities through Dorry, which will save you 10 to 20 euros per excursion. And you can also arrange your transport to and from the airport through Dorry. Ocean Suites is for me the best hotel in Santa Maria! Adilson makes the best coffee☕️ for you in the morning. Janete serves you with her beautiful smile in the evening 😍(She has the most beautiful curls I had ever seen) And Flavio teaches you the coolest dance moves every evening💃🏾. Thank you Dorry for everything and I will definitely be back❤️❤️!!

Everything was just perfect

The Ocean Suites was such a delight to stay at. The staff were amazing and friendly. The entertainment was varied with diffent genre's of music on most nights. The food options were good and competitively priced and off excellent quality. I stayed in the Santa Maria suite which was beautifully decorated in local culture themes, ornaments and pictures. A stones throw away to the beach and other local attractions......

Having to leave..............

Everything was so above expectations.  It started when we checked in with a welcome drink. The room has so many unique details and is really spacious. Every morning, an à la carte breakfast was served in the restaurant, which was excellent! During the day, it is nicely calm outside. In the evening, there was a really nice atmosphere in the bar, with good music and people and staff dancing. Also, the food for dinner was excellent! (with discount!) The hotel is only a few meters away from the beach, and they provide beach towels. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Helton who was there every morning with a friendly smile and a nice chat.

- nothing

I enjoyed every single moment there! The great location and comfort of the suite, the early morning peace and quiet of the Cafe where a delicious breakfast was served by the lovely staff members (loved the Cachupa!) and the great energy of those working there in the evening. The reception went above and beyond, a special thanks goes to Dory for looking so well after me and making me feel welcome. The place is also very safe as there is a security team looking after guests. So no stress, just go and enjoy!

Great location, very unique and fun atmosphere! Staff was very helpful and it was all a comfortable environment.

Nothing that we didn’t like about the property. Our flight was delayed and we didn’t get in until almost 3am so unfortunately we arrived and nobody was there to check us in. Thank goodness for a security man outside the building who was able to call the owner and let us in! That was just an inconvenience due to our flight being so late.

Excellent location with the bar and restaurant just below. The beach is just basically across the street. They are also available to recommend and book tours as well. The service was great, very friendly people!

The noise until midnight from the bar just below. Although it is on the booking site they actually make a point of mentioning that just in case you didn't noticed when you booked a room. I knew it from the site already and was willing to endure it. Not a bad thing per se, just a "feature" of the hotel :)

We normally stay in hotels but when we saw this place we thought why not give it a try, we were not disappointed and would highly recommend it, it is extremely loud between 10pm and 12pm but you are warned before you book we slept very well. The breakfast is very good we were very satisfied, the staff are the best bit of all they are all friendly and are happy at their work, they can't do enough for you. Lastly Dory in the office is the biggest asset to this business she did so much for us while we stayed and always checked in with us to make sure we were happy with our booked trip's which she helped us with she helped us have the best holiday.

Absolutely nothing we had nothing negative to say.

The staff is great! Dory organized everything for us and was always available. The crew (especially in the restaurant) provides good service! our special requests were also sympathetically received. In the evening there is a great atmosphere in the restaurant. Almost every day with live music and dancing from the whole team (kitchen, bar & waiters). The restaurant / hotel is definitely worth a visit!

The suites are very noisy. Especially falling asleep before midnight is difficult with the party atmosphere in the restaurant downstairs & the bars nearby.

we came here without any expectatuons and were surprused - in a good way. The hotel is in the center few steps away from the main pedestrian street, few steps away from the beach(s). All the staff is very helpful, kind willing to give you advice if one is needed. Breakfast is good, room was pleasant. I liked it.
