I had a lovely stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located near the ferry port to Santo Antao and just a short walk from Laginha beach. The rooms were spacious, clean, and equipped with all the necessities, making my stay very comfortable. However, the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations due to the limited breakfast options. Overall, I felt the hotel offered good value for money.
